For them, the most important event is the exhibition of pigeons.
Why are such exhibitions needed?

An exhibition of pigeons takes place in many cities of Russia. Pigeon breeders demonstrate the wonders of selection. Decorative birds amaze with their plumage, coloring and article. Also at such events, one can see St. Petersburg pride - a red carrier pigeon that could carry letters and important messages over long distances.
