Yes, a Pigeon is Faster for Data Transfer than Gigabit Fiber Internet::A decade ago, a pigeon with a 4 GB memory stick outran an ISP’s ADSL service. A 2023 rematch features a bird with 3 TB of flash drives vs gigabit internet.

The pigeon wins up to around 600 miles
Does it? I'm reading 600-700 miles is a one day range for a pigeon. At a gigabit, we're talking only 400 minutes to do 3TB, which is under seven hours. Now I don't know what the pigeon union looks like, but I'm going to assume a day of flying for a pigeon is at least 8 hours.
A pidgeon could carry at least 20 microSD cards.
But could it carry a coconut?
