Welcome to GEL-Golden Eye Loft-Racing Homer, homing pigeons Channel. I have taken most of the videos for fun and educational purpose . Racing homer have long blown the minds of us mere mammals with their remarkable ability to find their way home, even across huge and disorienting distances. This ability to navigate to their nests (or lofts, as their habitats are often known) with astounding accuracy has never really been understood.
The sport of racing pigeons has evolved from the ancient hobby of keeping homing pigeons. For centuries, pigeons have been used as message carriers by nobility, armies, and businessmen, and have been variously called: Messenger Pigeons, Carrier Pigeons, and Homing Antwerps. In the early 1800s, competitions were organized in Belgium, usually regarded as birthplace of the sport of racing pigeons. That is why early racing pigeons were called Antwerps, after the city of Antwerp, Belgium. this article is taken from different websites for education purpose only.
