How much more can the price of a pigeon be? A few lakhs of rupees. But if you hear the price of a pigeon bought at auction, you may not believe it. Because a two-year-old pigeon sold for 1.9 million pounds. And a rich man from China bought the pigeon, leaving everyone behind at the auction in Belgium.
According to the BBC, the pigeon’s name is New Kim. The two-year-old female pigeon was recently put up for auction. A Chinese millionaire bought the pigeon for ১৯ 1.9 million (Rs 16.15 crore per dollar) at an auction on Sunday.
New Kim, of course, is not a common pigeon, but a special species of pigeon. It is known as ‘racing pigeon’. This was a new record for racing pigeon sales after being sold at auction. The job of this special species of pigeon is to participate in the Orauri contest. Pigeons are usually released at a distance of 100 to 1000 kilometers. The pigeon that flies first is the winner. And the owner who wins this contest receives a considerable sum of money.
Nicholas Geiselbracht, CEO and founder of Auction House Pepper, told Reuters: “Selling pigeons at this record price is incredible. Because this pigeon is female. Generally, female pigeons are more valuable than males. Because they can give birth to a boy.
