I don't see why you couldn't train a bat, especially if raised from a pup. Some bats can live 20-30 years.. that's plenty of time to form a bond and learn some tricks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_bomb While not trained as passenger pigeons, there was a WWII project to use bats to deliver incendiary devices over Tokyo.

Phil, that is amazing. What ingenuity. Having said that, sure glad it was finally nixed by the Admiral.
