Pigeon racing

Pigeon racing is a sport where specially trained homing pigeons are released from a remote location and race back to their home lofts over long distances. The objective is to see which pigeon returns fastest, demonstrating their impressive navigation skills. Trainers condition the birds to respond to specific training routines, and timing devices record each bird’s arrival. Pigeon racing combines elements of animal training, endurance, and precise timing, making it a competitive and historical sport enjoyed worldwide.
