How did the pigeons in the early days know where to deliver the message? Just curious. Weren’t there times were pigeonsost their way or got caught? How did that not create chaos? Somebody please answer

Homing pigeons were a one-way service.
The pigeons would be taken to a place by horse/foot/etc.
When released they would fly home.
How did they know where home was?

And yes, sometime something or someone would foul the fowl’s flight.
