UK Bird Reminds Me of Socks' "Bird"

BBC America has a story today about a resourceful homing pigeon. "Bob" departed Guernsey in the Channel Islands, headed to a location on the British mainland. He never arrived. Now he's turned up 4000 miles away in the US, covered in oil, identified by his leg bands. The person who found him took him to a vet, where he's recovered nicely. It's believed he hopped a ship, clever fellow! His owner has booked a flight to come and collect him.

I wonder if he's now spoiled for homing 'the hard way'.
