Weird miss<br> <br>A homing pigeon bound for Norway landed in Sweden instead, but the bird's mistake showed signs of unusual intelligence.<br>Last week Gösta Schützer walked out to his garage in Östra Deje, north of Karlstad, Sweden. He was met by a pigeon that was sitting by the garage door, newspaper Värmlands Folkblad reports.<br><br>Schützer didn't pay much attention to the bird, and went into the garage, and after a while the pigeon followed.<br><br>"It shuffled around behind me like a dog. When I tried to talk to it, it opened its beak as if it wanted to answer," Schützer told the paper.<br><br>It turned out that the pigeon, owned by Colin Allman, had attended a homing pigeon conference in Malung, in midwestern Sweden. From there the Norwegian bird was released and was to go home, to Allman's home in Tangenveien just outside of Oslo, but bad weather hindered many of the pigeons from making their trips.<br><br>Allman's partner, Elisabeth Myhrvold is baffled by why the homing pigeon decided to stop in the wrong country, but even more puzzling is where the bird chose to settle - at a house in Tångenvägen, a nearly identical address.<br><br>Myhrvold said she can't believe that the pigeon can read and confused the Norwegian and Swedish ways of spelling the street name. "But you never know," she said.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article1097426.ece?rfid=bm">www.aftenposten.no/englis...ce?rfid=bm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br> <p></p><i></i>

Marred by failing to include the street name, which seems to be what the story revolves around.<br><br>I'm fond of that Norwegian site, the times I've been there it's just seemed so good-natured. <p></p><i></i>

It revolves around the /village/ names, not the street names: <br><br>Tångenvägen vs Tangenveien <br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
