Pigeon racing is a timed competition where homing pigeons are transported to a designated release point and liberated simultaneously to return to their home loft. The performance of each bird is evaluated by calculating its velocity, derived from the distance travelled divided by the flight duration. This velocity, expressed in yards per minute, determines the ranking, with the highest velocity securing the victory.
