I often hear derogatory comments about pigeons from some people, it gets my back up immediately and there is an instant distrust that engages in my mind. My great grandfather used to breed pigeons for racing and many of his birds were donated to the military during the war. One of my enduring memories as a toddler was feeding my grandfathers pigeons, many won top show prizes and some top races. Before Brexit there used to be European lorries filled with pigeons that used to let them out in Southern England, now its done in small batches and only for specialist, highly organised events. Many European clubs now avoid UK releases entirely as most continental federations now race within the EU only, because it’s simpler and avoids border checks. As a photographer I love the images I get when I am in art mode.
What positive experience have you had with pigeons?
