Maybe instead of naming the perch in an anvil, you could give the perch a GUI where you can name it. Then when you send the pigeon you could just type the name of the perch that you want to send it to.
P.S. If this doesn't get into the game, please make a mod for it!!

Pigeons wouldn't be useful at all. If you wanna send messages then just /msg or /whisper the guy you're messaging.
No support.
Items dude is clear that you didnt read the thread completely.

Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world — "No, you move
The idea is well thought out, in my opinion. It's a neat-looking mob, none too gimmicky, and it's got a unique function that's hard to replicate, but definitely useful. My one question though, is what would determine who owns the perch? To my knowledge, Minecraft doesn't quite have an owner-of-block tag for any of it's placed blocks. Also, if the pigeon becomes the recipient's pigeon when they take the items, wouldn't that discourage sending it to other players? I'd think you'd lose a lot of pigeons that way. May have misunderstood that one, though.
Support, with questions.
I think one idea, though, would be to tell a pigeon to fly to a given coordinate/chunk coordinate pair(X/Z coordinates), and deliver it to any perches in a certain area around that if it can find one. Just a suggestion. I apologize if anything in this post was already stated, or is wrong.

Would you rather read a story of knights and dragons, or be in one?
I'm glad people support my dragon raising. Could I ask for assistance with this one now?
Check out my dragon scroll(http://dragcave.net/user/Heric) if you want to see the dragons I have. I may get more dragons later.

Easy... Have you ever played Minecraft modded before?
Take Tesseracts for example, they have a private and public state.
When you write in Java, you can put security tag, it's really not that complicated.

Colored Lights for Minecraft! Link Removed Ever wanted to be a blacksmith?
It's been on reddit for over a year now, with 2 different posts about it. There's been a link to the reddit right at the top of the thread for months now.
Since I have made a new account, I will be remaking this thread on this account instead of my old Snowviraptor account.
Things to expect on the new thread:
*New Pigeon model. I'm so much better at modelling now that I'm sure I can make something better. It might also fit in with what I call the Neo-Vanilla modelling style (Horses, Guardians) although I would have an alternate old style, for those like me who like that.
*Refined concepts. I've had a few ideas for improvements that I have not got around to posting.
*Tidier thread. This thread, imo, is very messy. I'm going to format it, and remove some of the unneeded parts.
I'll be sure to edit this thread to make it link to the new one before getting it locked.

It might be me being the idiot that I am but where is the download link?
Items dude is clear that you didnt read the thread completely.
This isn't a mod.
I have a new account called "Mushroomsock" now, so please do not send me PMs.
I love it! Everything about it is perfect and well thought-out! Full Support!
So, how are the developers going to see this?
If all you focused on in life was purposefulness, then what would be the purpose?
