There is such a hobby - breed pigeons! When we are told about pigeons, we usually imagine painfully familiar gray birds with a greenish neck, which still so importantly walk the streets, often nod their heads and look for tasty seeds under our feet. And here are the visitors and participants the largest exhibition of pigeons in the USA will surely imagine beautiful multi-colored winged creatures - because decorative pigeons are just like that.
Big exhibition of pigeons-2011 took place most recently in San Diego, California. She was arranged by the American National Pigeon Associationuniting thousands of people since 1920. And these people know a lot about mondens, turmans, puffers and many other wonderful species of these birds in their own way. About 200 breeds of pigeons participated in the exhibition, and the total number of birds was more than 9000! Almost 4000 breeders with undisguised pride demonstrated their pets, their beaks and crests. By the way, the pets cost a lot of money - the record holder for the price, the Belgian sports pigeon was once sold for 200,000 euros.
The love of humanity for gray-winged birds, a sign of which was pigeon show-2011, and has led to such a variety of breeds. Perhaps this friendship began from the antediluvian times - it was not in vain that Mount Ararat was found for Noah by a dove. Since then, pigeons have been used as postmen - and scientists still do not know exactly how these postmen find their way home.
And, of course, the dove is a generally recognized symbol of peace (for everyone except the artist Samantha Zaza with her military doves) - in this capacity it was portrayed by Pablo Picasso, who brought new glory to the peaceful bird with an unpretentious drawing. By the way, Picasso addressed this topic more than once, five of his drawings of a dove are known - so, probably, the artist would like an exhibition with beautiful, well-groomed and sometimes funny birds.
It is a pity, of course, that pigeon show - not the place where birds are released; otherwise, symbolism would simply go off scale. And maybe such amazing creatures have no place in the wild - they are not bald eagles, after all. However, despite the exoticism of many pigeons from the exhibition, the winner is almost an ordinary white dove, fluffy and cute.
