Had a blast visiting the loft of Yordanis Castro in Louisville with . He has a fantastic collection of racing pigeons and is a skilled breeder and competitor.

Love the stance and posture of this hen, Kastle 2221, a daughter of Stirling Kastle and Dau. Shergar.

2221 was a great pigeon racer on my young bird team. She raced all 7 races and was on the first or second drop every time.
She earned:
6th Champion Bird LRPC
Eq1 (3rd) 300m
Eq1 (8th) 230m
9th 140m

"The sport remains most vibrant in Europe, where in 2020 a 2-year-old hen, New Kim, sold for $1.9 million and premier races in Barcelona draw more than 17,000 birds. In the United States, so-called one-loft races — where birds compete only against pigeons housed in the same professionally managed coop — advertise winning pots as high as $1.2 million.

At the Lyndhurst club, prizes are drawn from entry fees, and a premier long-distance race can net a first-place winner about $6,500, said Mr. Torre, who sold his salvage shop and used-car lot and retired years ago, giving him the flexibility to train his 80 birds most mornings at sunup."

Dwindling open spaces and fast-fading traditions threaten a pursuit that can trace its roots back centuries. Animal rights activists would not be sad to see it go.

The hens are 🔥. I’ve inventoried my racing pigeon team and prepping for breeding now. The hens are looking spectacular.

The skies were full of action yesterday as my birds came home from a training toss. They flew for an extra hour because a Cooper’s hawk was chasing them. But the crows came to the rescue and started chasing the coop. 👏🏻👏🏻 I feed the crows to encourage them to stick around and today it paid off.

My young bird racing pigeons launch from their crates for a 50-mile conditioning trip before our big 300-mile combine race tomorrow. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻they are at their peak health and condition now and ready for their biggest challenge yet.

Some brave pigeons don’t seemed phased by the Cooper’s Hawk that wants to EAT THEM for breakfast! 🤦🏻

Sunrise release between races. Our race this weekend was cancelled due to poor weather at liberation. But they still have to go down the road to keep in shape and keep with the system.

Kastle 2449, a dark check c**k out of last year’s 1st and 2nd club champion birds. Both parents are also AU Ace young birds. He placed 3rd (eq1) in last week’s 140 mile race.

This is Twootie (Kastle 2222) and she thinks she looks marvelous today.

She’s a daughter of Stirling Kastle and Daughter Shergar and she won our club 500 mile race last year. So of course she is fabulous.

Let’s see how many people appreciate a good 💩photo 😂 Anyone who breeds animals pays close attention to the poo as a gauge for health. I’m posting these because they are a very good representation of how our pigeon’s p**p looks while on our natural Kastle Pigeon health supplements. They’ve been getting a steady diet of Young Bird Developer Plus and Oregano H**p Seed Oil on the feed and Acidifier Plus in the water. Nice tight small p**ps!

This guy spent the night out after a training toss. He got home in the morning and I hand fed him. Then when it was time for the evening feeding he saw me prepping the food (with our Kastle Pigeon supplements 💪🏼) and he found a way to get through the trap and fly to me to get a head start on the food! Smart pigeon!
