Almost Every letter is airmail around here! Our feathered friends are always busy at work, keeping the mail moving, and all they ask is a little food and water, and a treat and kind word every now and again. Owls are still used here the same as across the pond, but they are expensive and aren't really suited for areas of high muggle concentration. Crows are often seen in the rural areas. Homing pigeons are fast gaining popularity, because they are smart and able, and don't stand out.
The laws governing postal carrier animals are very clearly written. They are afforded great protection, and interfering with one in any fashion is a great crime. If one stops to drink it must be given water, unless dire circumstances prevent it.
They are required to get a license, which is issued after they deliver five test messages to the right places and return with the proper parcels/envelopes. They must get immunized and be trained to avoid muggles.
All three birds are sanctioned by NAMES, which is parent agency of the the Postal Department. There is no "official choice" in carrier, as long as the license is kept up on it.
