The British city of Blackpool saw the largest gathering of pigeon racers in the UK to see the best birds in Britain, setting records in races and launching the activities of the 900-mile-long bird show. Reuters news website.
The exhibition, held in Blackpool, was attended by a large number of homing pigeon enthusiasts from across the United Kingdom.
The celebration will witness the distribution of the British Cup, considered the best award for the best carrier pigeon ride in the UK.
Richard Chambers, chief development officer of the Royal Fijian Racing Association, said: “Blackpool is hosting a big event that will turn it into a pigeon sanctuary, attracting people who want to show off their birds.
Richard added: Pigeons travel at speeds of up to 80 miles per hour, and this is the longest distance we send pigeons from Barcelona to the UK, which is about 885 miles from my home. The moment he hatches an egg, he sees it as he returns from a race, repeating the journey his ancestors made during the First and Second World Wars.
“These pigeons choose to travel hundreds of miles and go home. Even if we drive them out, it shows loyalty, affection and a strong bond with their owners.”
Chambers said: “Brexit has had a greater impact on our game than Covit’s because we were unable to travel from France last year due to a different contract. However, we hope to be able to continue going to France again this year.”
