Overview

Pigeons are brilliant birds! Learn how to raise pigeons (fancy or homing) and bring them "to show" or teach them to race home.

The Challenging Part

The most challenging requirement of this honor is probably this:

5. Raise at least two pairs of pigeons. If homing pigeons, train them to return to their loft from a distance of 25 miles (40 km). If fancy or show pigeons, prepare them for exhibition and exhibit them in a fair or show.
