With carrier pigeon 1.0, the beak is so small you have to
dis-assemble/re-assemble the IP packets.
Carrier pigeon 2.0 has a bigger beak and can hold a full packet.
Unfortunately the evolutionary process is goin slow. Maybe within a
couple of millenium.
Have you thought about using IP-over-turkey instead?
It is slower and not very sexy, but with the bigger beak, you can get
better bandwidth.
