Outback pigeon racer homing in on multi-million-dollar showdown | ABC Australia

Pigeons Lady Luck and Augustus bred in the outback town of Winton are set to race more than 8,000 pigeons from almost 50 countries at the Pattaya International Pigeon Race in Thailand in December. There is a $2.7m prize pool up for grabs, but the breeder says he is in it for the joy of competition.

Do the pigeons going to Thailand all fly home to their own coop? Too far, surely.

No Mate, they're all returning to the same loft in Thailand, after the release point.
