The carrier pigeon called “New Kim” was sold for 1 million 600 thousand euros (about 14.5 million lire) at the auction held in Belgium. This is the best-selling pigeon ever in Europe.
The Belgian carrier pigeon was bought by a Chinese pigeon enthusiast at an online auction held in the city of Knesselare, near Bruges, Belgium.
MORE THAN 400 PIGEONS
According to the Turkish BBC news; Gaston Van De Wouwer, 76, a pigeon breeder in the city of Berlaar, has put more than 400 pigeons up for sale due to health problems. For 444 pigeons belonging to the Belgian breeder, a total price of 4 million and 180 thousand euros was determined.
LIP FLIP ALSO AT THE OPENING PRICE
On the occasion of the auction announced by the PIPA auction house, an opening price of 1 million and 320 thousand euros was determined for New Kim. The carrier pigeon was bought by Xing Wei, owner of the Chinese industrial group Kaier, for 1 million 600 thousand euros following the auction.
NEW WHO MAKES IT SPECIAL
The Belgian carrier pigeon is also the best-selling female pigeon. Men make more money in the pigeon market. According to Dutch television, what makes New Kim special is that in addition to a good sense of direction, he is also a good breeder.
Until the delivery is completed, New Kim hides in a secret place in case of theft. To ensure that the carrier pigeon does not fly to Belgium after going to China, he will be assisted in a special area.
IT WOULD PRODUCE NEW PUPPIES
According to the newspaper De Standaard published in Belgium, the Chinese businessman, who last year bought the male pigeon named Armando from Belgium for 1 million 250 thousand euros, will raise two pigeons and produce new offspring. At the auction, 315 thousand euros were paid to New Kim’s mother pigeon.
PLAY BETS
The interest in pigeon racing in many countries, especially China and the Middle East, has also increased the demand for pigeon producers in the Flemish part of Belgium. Pigeon breeding is an established tradition in Belgium. For this reason it is one of the countries where pigeon enthusiasts show the most interest.
Every year in Asian countries, million-euro winning pigeon races are held. Hundreds of thousands of people are betting on pigeon racing in China.
