Of course you're both failing to factor in the weight of the file being carried by the said pigeon as Monty Python pointed out ( all be it in relation to swallows and coconuts)

"It's not a question of where 'e grips it! It's a simple question of
weight ratios! A five-ounce bird could *not* carry a one-pound
coconut!....

....In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to
beat its wings forty-three times every second"

Or is it an African Pigeon?
