What is pigeon racing?
Pigeon racing is a sport in which specially bred and trained pigeons are released from specific locations. They then race back to their home lofts.
Do I need a loft in my garden?
No. These days there are two forms of pigeon racing – club races and one loft races. Club races do generally require a pigeon owner to keep a loft. However, one loft races do not.
If I don’t have a loft, how does it work?
If you don’t have a loft, the only way of racing pigeons is to enter One Loft Races, where the pigeons are raised in one loft location, by one loft manager. You buy a pigeon (or pigeons), then pay an entry fee to have the birds housed and looked after by the loft manager.
Are pigeons expensive to keep?
If you plan to keep your own loft, then there will be an initial outlay to get started, along with costs for feed, vaccinations and other equipment. If you want to keep your pigeons in someone else’s loft, there will either be a one-off fee (see One Loft Race) or boarding fees.
What is a One Loft Race?
A one loft race is a race where all the pigeons entered are housed in the same loft. They are raised in the loft from the age of 6 weeks, trained together, then transported to the same location and released at the same time. They then race back to the ‘home’ loft. The one loft race is actually made up of four races over the season, each one longer than the next, but each race follows this pattern.
What happens after the race?
In a one-loft race, there are two options. The pigeon owner can pay another entry fee and have their pigeons transferred to another loft for yearling pigeons, and another race. Alternatively, the owner can opt to return their pigeon to the breeder or sell it to another pigeon fancier.
