Letters by bird, the old-fashioned way.






In Güvercin Postası (“Pigeon Post”), letters travel the old way: your letter arrives as long after sending as it takes your bird to fly the distance at its own speed.
Waiting is part of the letter.
A sparrow, an owl, a homing pigeon or a falcon, each with its own speed. Give your bird a name and settle it into your loft.
Write as much as fits on a bird’s leg, seal it and let the bird go. As you write, the map shows the route, the flight time and the arrival time.
Your friend watches the bird live on an old-style map. On an adventurous flight it flies into fog, gets caught in a storm or rests on a rooftop; it all goes into the flight log, and the arrival time never changes.
When the bird lands at the door, you break the seal and read the letter and the story of its journey. The bird waits 24 hours for your reply, so you can send your answer back with the same bird.
Invite people you know by email or WhatsApp. Find new pen pals in Discover, or put a letter in a bottle and let your bird carry it to someone at random.
The letters you’ve sent, the kilometres your birds have flown, your reply rate… Earn new stamps as you write.
Your exact address is never shown to anyone; birds land at a point near your home. Your email and phone number stay hidden. You can block or report anyone you don’t want to hear from.
Güvercin Postası is free and has no ads. It is for people aged 18 and over.

A letter arrives after the time your bird needs to fly the straight-line distance between the two lofts at its own speed: a sparrow flies 25 km an hour, an owl 50, a homing pigeon 80 and a falcon 120. The arrival time is shown while you write and never changes.
The seal stays closed until the bird lands at the door. While you wait you can follow it live on the map; when it lands you get a notification or an email, and you break the seal to read the letter.
The bird that brought the letter waits 24 hours for your reply, and you send your answer back with it. If the time runs out, it flies home without one.
You can block or report them from their profile. Someone you block can’t send you letters or requests and can’t see your profile.
