pigeons on tv

Animal Planet will start filming a new TV SHOW, “Taking on Tyson“, a show about the world of racing pigeons!

 

Mike Tyson, the famous boxer has been a pigeon fancier for 20 years. Not many of us knew that his first fight was in childhood to protect his pigeons. Although he was breeding fancy pigeons – rollers, seems like he will start with racing pigeons and compete with the best fanciers from New York.

 

The show producers say that we’ll discover a new face of Mike and the fascinating world of racing pigeons, so little known by people. They will film during 2010 and the show will be on TV starting from 2011. I am so damn excited about this! I’m looking forward to seeing it!!! It is the first time when Animal Planet will consider our hobby and have a special TV show for this – I bet they will get a lot of fans, in fact all the pigeon fanciers around the world will love the show… they will get thousands of crazy fans.

 

If everything will be as expected, this will be the best thing ever happened for the promotion of the racing pigeons sport. Tyson says he’s glad to be back on the roofs of NY’s buildings, where it all started for him many years ago.

 

If that movie with hamsters made the kids rush in the petshop and buy all the rodents stock available… imagine what this show can do for the racing pigeons hobby!!!

 

Thank you Animal Planet!

i have read a few things on tyson, he is a good fancier and fingers crossed it brings younger people to the sport.
