it is an old bird on the 1st of january the very next year after birth (still classed as a yearling ) but it is an old bird and can race or show in any old bird race or show.

Do you mean can you race young birds as old birds ? Under RPRA then yes, but hens only not cocks, to be safe.

In general terms there are two 'classifications' for pigeons...Young birds and Old birds. As posted by Hotrod, from 1st January following it's year of birth it's an old bird. In this year following it's birth it is raced or shown as an Old bird, unless there are special classes in shows or special prizes in racing purely for year old pigeons...Yearlings.
