I owned seven, two of which I bred resulting in five babies. They were all very sweet. They were homing pigeons and I must admit there was something empowering to owning a bird that you could release into the air knowing that it would come back to you. How incredible it is when you consider that it could be happier in the wild associating with other birds. They're great fun!

Yes. My daughter was into racing pigeons. We built a 8x8x8 cage and she had 20-30 pigeons. She, however, lost interest in them. There was a local pigeon racing club that she belonged to. (All older guys and she was a high school student) ha ha She did it as a 4H project.

Pigeon is a nice bird. I have a couple. Named with "Kilat" means "thunder". You can actually train pigeon with it's couple (female). You can also train them to race. In Asia people put a lot of money for pigeon race.

My brother raised tumblers, racers, and fan tails. When the tumblers were flying, he would clap his hands and they did somersaults in midair! He would have our mom take him miles away with his pigeons and release them to show that they remembered where they lived (homing pigeons). In the military, pigeons were used to deliver messages. There is something in their beaks that gives them this ability. And the squab are delicious! LOL
