Pigeon Racing $58.94 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Pigeon racing is a sport involving the release of specially trained racing pigeons, which then return to their homes over a carefully measured distance. The time it takes the animal to cover the specified distance is measured and the birds rate of travel is calculated and compared with all of the other pigeons in the race to determine which animal returned at the highest speed. Pigeon racing involves the flying of a specific breed of pigeon specifically bred for the sport, the Racing Homer . Competing pigeons are specially trained and conditioned for races that vary in distance for approximately to 100 to 1000 km. The winner of a pigeon race is the bird with the highest velocity,measured in ypm/mpm, this calculation demands the distance be divided in to yards, divide the yards by the number of SECONDS it took the bird to return then multiply by 60. Therefore Races can often be won and lost by seconds, and to measure this, many different timing apparatus have been developed.

Racing Homer $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A Racing Homer is a breed of pigeon that has been selectively bred for more speed, and enhanced homing instinct for the sport of Pigeon racing. A popular domestic pigeon breed, the Racing Homer is also one of the newest. Levi in his book The Pigeon refers to racing pigeons first being developed in Belgium and England during the Nineteenth Century. He further says that they came about from the crossbreeding of a number of other breeds, primarily the Smerle, French Cumulet, English Carrier, Dragoon, and the Horseman (now lost). From the highflying Cumulet, the Homer received its endurance, the ability to fly for hours on end without tiring. From the Carrier, it inherited the ability to find its way home from great distances. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.
