The price of a pigeon in Bangladeshi currency is approximately Rs 16 million. A pigeon sold for that price even though it raised its eyebrows.
The details of the incident are known, the name of the pigeon is New Kim. The two-year-old girl pigeon was recently put up for auction. A wealthy Chinese man bought the pigeon at auction on Sunday for around 2 million pounds sterling (more than 179.2 million pounds sterling in Bangladeshi currency).
But the pigeon is not an ordinary pigeon. New Kim is a special species of pigeon. What is known as ‘Racing Pigeon’. And that was a record for racing pigeon sales.
According to a BBC report, the job of this particular species of pigeon is to participate in flying competitions. Pigeons are generally released at a distance of one hundred to one thousand.
The first to fly home is the winner.
A large sum of money will match its owner. The latest winner in the pigeon competition is Armando, later named Formula One race champion Lewis Hamilton.
New Kim has also won multiple contests since 2016 and has since retired. She has given birth to several children in her spare time. The owner of New Kim, a Belgian family, was pleasantly surprised to see that the pigeon was selling for this huge amount of money.
It is known that the hobby of the rich man who bought the pigeon is to collect racing pigeons.
Pigeon racing has become very popular in China recently.
New Kim’s daughter is a pigeon, so its price is so high that it can be used to breed pigeons of this species. The winner of the auction, Chinese citizen New Kim, is expected to use the breed for pigeon breeding.
