The bird dubbed as "Joe" the racing pigeon, was thought to have flown from Alabama to a backyard in Melbourne after journeying nearly 14,500 kilometers (9,000 miles). The alleged American intruder pigeon that crossed the Pacific Ocean and was detained by the Australian officials received the death reprieve after authorities found that its leg tag was ‘fake’.
