Why every time I accept an assassin contract, a bird leaves the cage

In Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag, every time I accept an assassin contract, a bird (pigeon I think) leaves the cage.

Is there something to it, or is it just random?

Best Answer

It's a carrier pigeon. It's carrying the details of the contract back. The details can be found here on the Assassin's Creed Wiki.
