The rules, such as they are.
Last updated 15 August 2026
By using pidgee me you agree to what follows. It is short, because the site is small and does one silly thing.
pidgee me is a novelty. It takes a message, works out the real distance between two cities, and makes you wait roughly as long as a pigeon flying at 110 mph would take. There is no real pigeon. Nothing is physically delivered. The bird, its name, its naps and its mishaps are all animation.
It is not a messaging service, and you should not rely on it as one. If something matters, needs to arrive at a particular time, or is urgent in any way, use literally anything else.
Do not use pidgee me to send anything that is:
Do not attempt to break, overload, scrape or reverse engineer the site, and do not automate it. There is a rate limit, and going around it is a breach of these terms.
We can delete any flight and block any user, at any time, without notice and without explanation. Given a single person runs this, expect that to be applied bluntly rather than through a careful appeals process. If you think something was removed wrongly, write to andrew@textstr.com.
Anyone holding a flight link can read the note. Links are long and random and are never listed publicly, but they are not encrypted and they are not secret. If you forward the link, you have given away the message. Assume anything you send could be read by whoever ends up with that link, and do not send anything sensitive.
Everything is deleted automatically after 7 days, at which point the link stops working permanently. Save anything you want to keep before then. You can also delete it yourself at any moment, using the link at the foot of the flight page, which wipes it for everyone including the recipient.
Every flight is free at true pigeon speed. Express is an optional paid extra that compresses the wait. You are paying for a faster animation, not a faster delivery, because there is nothing physical being delivered.
The site is provided as is, with no warranty of any kind. It may be slow, it may break, it may be taken down entirely, and flights in progress may be lost when that happens. Arrival times are estimates produced by a cartoon and are not promises.
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the site, including anything that follows from a message arriving late, arriving early, not arriving, or being read by the wrong person. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you actually paid us, which for almost everyone is nothing.
Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.
Your message stays yours. You give us permission to store and display it only so far as is needed to run the service, which means holding it for up to 7 days and showing it to whoever opens the flight link. We claim nothing else, and we do not use it for anything else.
The site itself, its artwork and its animations belong to the operator.
What is collected and how long it is kept is set out on the privacy page, which forms part of these terms.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA, and any dispute will be handled by the courts there. If you are a consumer elsewhere, this does not remove protections you have under your own local law.
These terms may change. The date at the top will change with them, and continuing to use the site means you accept the new version.
Not legal advice, and not written by a lawyer.
