Guest woody_2k10 Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 been on google found this would this be the same family? The fastest recorded speed of a racing pigeon is 110 mph.In 1965 a pigeon belonging to A Vidgeon & Son of Wickford flying in a race from Croydon covered the 40 odd miles at a velocity of 3229 yards per minute. Freak velocity actually and must of had a gale force wind up it's backside to make such a speed. There are however lots of records showing racing pigeons achieving speeds in excess of 70mph, but any speed recorded much over 48 mph is wind assisted.

OLDYELLOW Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 the problem with highest velocitys alot would be kicked out as a improbable speed , usualy an escapee , so hard to get a true answer to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
