Racing pigeons are specially bred birds known for their remarkable homing ability and speed. These pigeons are trained to fly long distances and return to their home lofts. They are often used in competitive events where they are released from a specific location and race back to their owners. The sport of pigeon racing has a rich history and is popular in many countries. Enthusiasts, often called pigeon fanciers, invest time and resources into breeding and training their birds. Races can cover distances ranging from a few miles to over 1,000 miles, showcasing the pigeons' endurance and navigational skills.
