The name of the dove is ‘New Kim’. The two-year-old pigeon was put up for auction. A Chinese man bought the pigeon at an online auction on Sunday for around £ 2 million, or more than Tk 160 million in Bangladeshi currency.
Of course, this is not a common pigeon. New Kim is a special species of pigeon. Whose identity is like ‘Paloma Raza’. And the price New Kim raised at the auction was a record for the sale of racing pigeons. The job of this particular species of pigeon is to participate in flying competitions. The Reuters news agency reported this information.
Pigeons are generally released at a distance of 100 to 1000 miles. The first person to fly from there to get home is the winner. The owner of the pigeon owes a large sum of money.
The latest winner in the world pigeon competition is Armando, who was later named after Formula One race champion Lewis Hamilton.
New Kim has also won multiple contests since 2016. And then she retired. She has given birth to several children in her spare time.
The owner of New Kim is a Belgian family, and they are surprised that the pigeon has been sold in such large quantities.
The rich Chinese who bought the pigeon has a hobby of collecting racing pigeons. Pigeon flying competitions have become very popular in China.
New Kim is very expensive because it is a pigeon, because it can be used to breed pigeons of this species. The winner of the auction, Chinese citizen Kim Kim, is expected to use the breed for pigeon breeding.
