Pigeons get shot in TRNC not raced. They are considered vermin like flying rats.

About 6 years ago I found a racing pigeon (shot dead) near our house. I removed the anklet thingy and contacted the British Racing Pidgeon Association in the UK. They came back to say it had nothing to do with this island, but would try and find out the country of origin and let the owner know. Never heard from them again.

My late father’s favourite taxi driver keeps pigeons here. I have asked him if there is a racing pigeon club. Will report back if there is.

And racing pigeons tend not to be so tasty, I speak from experience when hunting in Germany... long story!

There is a guy a few blocks from me (Girne) who seems to be training pigeons on his roof terrace, interesting to watch. I do not know him but if bi-lingual you could cold-call him by ringing through the different doorbells and inquire.
Wood pigeons are the best to eat!
