See why the sport attracts more than 10,000 fliers in this country alone, with an estimated 1,000,000 fliers worldwide.
Today, racing pigeons offer the same excitement as watching thoroughbred horses cross the finish line. These Homing Pigeon are registered and pedigreed. Much like their equine counterparts, they are specially bred and trained. They receive the finest of care, and nutrition is an important part of their regimen, as with any athlete. Competitions are nationwide.
The sport has been a great way to educate children and get families involved in a fun, backyard hobby. Some schools have incorporated racing pigeon projects to enhance the learning experience.
VISUAL & INTERVIEW OPPORTUNITIES:
• Striking racing athletes will be on display.
• Informative brochures will be available.
• Local pigeon experts from the Amarillo Racing Pigeon Club will demonstrate handling of the birds and discuss pigeon racing and the care of these registered pigeons.
• Des Moines Feed will provide product information and feed samples.
• Send a message by pigeon!
• Enjoy an amazing bird release.
American Racing Pigeon Union was incorporated in 1910 and is headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The AU exists to promote, protect, and enhance the sport of racing homing pigeons, to cooperate with other organizations, which directly or indirectly accomplish those goals, and to provide services and benefits to its members.
