christian71 3,187 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Expensive flying rats if thats what you think of racing pigeons World record for Pieter Veenstra: 1.899.300 EURO for 245 pigeons! Mr. Hu Zhen Yu buys the most expensive pigeon ever for 250.400 EURO! Today the auction of Pieter Veenstra ended, in which yesterday the record for the most expensive pigeon ever was broken with 250.400 EURO. Today an even more prestigious record has been added, namely that of the most expensive total auction ever! Update Sunday 8 p.m.: It was already clear yesterday that a super record would be set by the auction of Pieter Veenstra. But at the start of this auction 2 weeks ago no-one dared to think of almost 1,9 million EURO. An average of 7.752 EURO per pigeon with 245 pigeons in the auction... Overwhelming figures.

In the uk you race in a club you will win price money but not alot, You win money for pooling you pigeons, like backing a horse, if you send say 20 pigeons and you pool pigeon GB 62870 and he 5th in the race but the 4 birds in front are not pooled 62870 will win the pool money. in are club if you pool a pigeon all on you will get about £200 another club you could win about £300 i had a bird with the ring number 62870 won me over 2 grand racing. There is also one loft racing where you pay £100 pound pair bird and send them to a loft where all the birds will be race from the same loft in the final race in uk the race for about 25000. A lot more around the world millon dollar 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
