* Related: In ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'', Agatha tries to send out several little propeller clanks to send a message to someone, and three of them are destroyed before ever making it off the castle grounds by one of the Geisterdamen's many albino beasties. One escapes, but [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse we have yet to know if it ever made successfully made contact with anyone]]. Given the level of miss-communication between the two sides, probably not. Also, the tiny clanks were smart enough to take orders and make escape plans.

* ''Blog/HowToHero'' frequently mentions carrier pigeons as a viable form of contacting other people. At one point the author of the guide muses that if he had a carrier pigeon he would name it Carry the Pigeon. Carry would then go on to appear in a few other entries.

* ''WebVideo/PiratesSMP'': There have been jokes about direct messages between players in the in-game chat manifesting as carrier pigeons, which naturally results in "carrier pigeons" being able to deliver messages in mere moments, even when the two players are miles away.

* {{Justified|Trope}} (in a sense) in ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle''. Boris needs to get a message to HQ, which is an inconvenient trip across the ocean away. Since he can't reach his radio, he instead writes a message and sends it via a messenger pigeon - a messenger pigeon with a jet engine attached to its back.

This trope gets its name from the concept of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_messaging_&_messengers Instant Messaging]] in computing. Considering that you don't even need a computer for this to work, it's no wonder the MedievalStasis is still in effect. For another example of animals not quite working that way, see AutomatonHorses.

This is somewhat more believable, since Pokémon are considerably more intelligent than real birds (most of them understand, but [[PokemonSpeak cannot speak]], human langauges). The episode also acknowledged that this form of long-distance communication is dying out due to [[TechnologyMarchesOn advances in technology]].
