⚡ What Mutation Messenger does
Every 4 minutes 4 seconds at base weight, the pigeon takes a random mutation from one of your unfavorited fruit and delivers it to another player's fruit.
The wiki's trivia says it doesn't affect its owner or the owner's garden at all, which suggests your fruit keeps its mutation. Either way, it brings you no benefit. It's a pet for helping friends in your server.
