Winston the Pigeon, "South Africa's most famous pigeon" and possibly the world's most famous pigeon, raced and beat an ADSL line in South Africa on 9th September 2009. Winston transported a 4GB micro SD card of information faster than the ADSL line over an 80 kilometre route from Howick to Hillcrest.
