What is the bandwidth of a pigeon carrying an SD card?

And is lossage due to falcons a problem?

    Pigeons? That's obsolete technology. You can get bandwidth of about 37Mbps via snails, using SNAil-based data transfer Protocol (SNAP). This gives a whole new meaning to the term "snailmail".

    How would it grip the card? There's no husk.

      Do you think a coconut filled with SD cards would be better?

      Tape it to its leg. If it was trying to hold it, the bird would probably want to land (dropping it if it was in it talons) and eat some bread crumbs (dropping it if it was in its beak). Of course, the bread crumbs would probably be part of a DOS attack involving pie.
