Pigeon racing is a popular sport in Britain, where the race 
lasts from late April to late September, local clubs organize 
races, and the multiple pigeon racing federations create
responsible staff. These officials supervise the facts and
keep records of the race.
Each amateur pigeon - the person who keeps and pigeons racing - 
has a special watch. An official from thefederation arranges
these hours before the race one night. And puts
Another sign of every pigeon in the race was to tie a rubber ring 
to her leg, and then the amateurs would take their bath in baskets
to a point where they had already been prepared. The race begins 
with the release of doves from their baskets, the birds fly back 
to their dens, and when a pigeon returns, the owner takes off her
 ring. Then the abyss or hobbyist beats his clock, recording the 
time when the bird returned, and the winner is the bird returning 
at the highest speed.
More than 100,000 pigeon enthusiasts share national or local 
events in Britain, sometimes at major prizes.
