The remains of a World War II carrier pigeon - still bearing a secret coded message - have been found in the chimney of a house in England.

A quarter of a million pigeons were used on on active service during the War, flying messages in little canisters strapped to their legs across enemy lines.

Some were also carried in bombers to be released in case of a crash.Â

But one pigeon never made it home.

Surrey resident David Martin found the bird's bones in his chimney when he was renovating his fireplace.

"About three handfuls of rubbish later, down came the leg with the red capsule on with a message," he said.

"You had to unscrew it and on a piece of paper, cigarette paper thin, was the secret message."
