While out over the weekend, we drove past a large sign in a person’s yard advertising, “Homing Pigeons For Sale.”
Now The Herd is fascinated with the concept because a Siberian is exactly the opposite of a Homing Pigeon. Release a Siberian and he runs away from home, not towards it. Sibe Quentin was built at Chez Herd for exactly that reason.
The bigger question though – is this a scam? if you buy Homing Pigeons from someone, don’t they just fly back to that person upon release? Isn’t that the whole point of Homing Pigeons?

A Shark Attacked My Best Friend
June 20, 2025 - In honor of the 50th anniversary of the theatrical debut of the movie Jaws, the film that was the inspiration for these events, D. K. Wall recorded the story in audio and video. The original story was posted on October 9, 2022.
A shark attacked my best friend when I was 11. His screams were awful. The silence that followed was worse. I was alone in the ocean.
Enjoy it your way

Well, it depends on how young the pigeons are. A bird around 32 days old will aclamate to it’s new surroundings & think that this is it’s home. An older bird could be used for breeding but never released, it’s younsters would always stay where they were born & raised. I have raised homing pigeons for 40 years, they are flown out to 500 miles in races, most of the time they will make it home on the day.
