Bird racing is a competitive sport where trained birds, typically pigeons, are released from a specific location and race back to their home lofts. The distance can vary from a few miles to several hundred miles, depending on the event. Participants, known as fanciers, carefully train their birds to improve their speed and navigation skills. In bird racing, each bird is equipped with a small electronic device that records its arrival time. The winner is determined by the fastest bird to return home. This sport requires dedication, as fanciers invest time in training, feeding, and caring for their birds to ensure optimal performance.
