This is the latest installment in a fun-with-math series called Back of the Envelope. Need help estimating something? Email DataLab.

Before you squawk at a DataLab post about a World War II-era method of communication, hang on. What will you do when the apocalypse hits, phone lines and the Internet go down, and you need to ask Brenda to collate those TPS reports from that last quality-assurance brain-storming session? And what will poor Brenda do when she doesn’t know what to do with those TPS reports? Poor you. Poor bloody Brenda.

That brings us to pigeons. According to the tech research group Radicati, email users send an average of 39 messages each day. Radicati also says that worldwide, there are about 4,116,000,000 email users (24 percent business, 76 percent consumer). Assigning one bird to each outgoing message means we’re going to need nearly 161 billion pigeons for one day’s worth of email.

But wait. We’ve assumed that emails never have more than one recipient. That’s wrong. And we’ve assumed emails are never sent across distances of more than 1,100 miles, which is about the most a pigeon can manage. That’s wrong, too. Pigeons would probably have to tag each other in and take breaks for some bread crumbs. You would also have to be pretty patient (Brenda, too), because pigeons fly at an average speed of 45 to 60 mph.

Our next question was, how much would an email weigh? That message from Paul to say that he brought doughnuts for the team (God bless Paul) might not weigh much, but what about that instruction manual Priya sent last week? We took an email attachment of 25 MB — Google’s maximum attachment size — and saw how it translated to pages printed and weight in grams. The results are below.

Now, a drug-smuggling pigeon in Colombia found a 45-gram package (40 grams of marijuana and 5 grams of cocaine paste) just a bit too heavy. So, let’s say a pigeon can manage 40 grams. That would mean that for every email with a 25-MB attachment, you’d probably need about 480 pigeons. If just one in 50 emails sent has a such an attachment, we’d need to revise up our carrier-pigeon contingent from 161 billion to 1.698 trillion.

Either we’d need to start sending fewer emails, or else the Earth would need to be inhabited by 243 times more pigeons than humans to cope with an Internet failure. Of course, if the apocalypse does come, our emailing needs might change. Those TPS reports might not be a top priority.

Pigeons in numbers:

  • You can apparently send a message via carrier pigeons for the low, low price of $9.95.
  • A pigeon named G.I. Joe flew 20 miles in 20 minutes, and in doing so communicated a message that saved the lives of more than 1,000 soldiers.
  • According to the U.K.’s Pigeon Control Resource Centre, pigeons are the only nonmammal that can recognize themselves in the mirror, as well as recognize all 26 letters of our alphabet. (That last claim sounds particularly outlandish to me, but you can decide for yourself.)

In their latest episode, AsapSCIENCE takes a look at whether birds can actually deliver messages–such as the ravens seen in Game of Thrones–which birds are the best for sending messages, and how the birds know when they’ve reached the correct destination.

Not to burst your fantasy bubble, but Ravens, while incredibly intelligent, aren’t the likeliest of birds to get this job done. Sorry John Snow! But the somewhat surprising fact, But the somewhat surprising fact is that other birds, such as pigeons, are fantastic at it! Hence the name ‘carrier-pigeon’. In fact, they were successfully used nearly 3000 years ago to declare the winner of the Olympics, abroad. Pigeons have an innate homing ability, meaning they will return to their nest to mate. Flights as long as 1800 km have been recorded. Because of this, they have been used for centuries to send messages, but – and this is a pretty big but – they generally only sent messages in one direction. They would be taken away from their homes, and when needed, could send messages back home, because their natural instinct was to fly there. So the idea of sending a bird wherever you needed it to go is a little far-fetched. However, by placing their food at one location, and their home in another, pigeons have been trained to fly back and forth between two locations reliably.
