Racing pigeons

A pigeon is one of the most expensive birds you can acquire. You may wonder how this expensive racing pigeon is different from the normal kinds you can find anywhere in the city. In fact, the distinction between racing pigeons and their less valuable cousins is that racing pigeons serve a good purpose: they can race and allow people to gamble. People in the high class in China have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in the birds and the prize money for winning some of the races can be equally substantial.

Pigeon races are a major business in some parts of the world, and a speedy bird can help its owner earn a lot of money. That's why many people are willing to pay a lot of money for one of these birds; in fact, there was a racing pigeon sold for $1.9 million in 2020!
