50k usd for one pigeon?! That sounds crazy.
It's good to know, I'll make sure they won't end up in my kitchen...  (sorry, couldn't resist)
Thanks for the info Mesut. Ivaylo, you'd better bring one or two of them over here...
Have a nice day everyone. :)

Those brown pigeons are called KAPLAN (means Tiger )
the ones who are capable to somersault while flying are very valuable..The may cost up to 50 thousand dollars.
In south eastern part they even put on them the jewellery.(attached picture)
There are some SPECIAL races they were developed in the Ottoman Palaces called HUNKARI (means that Sultans pigeons ) sorry :)) just wanted to give more info..

I've never seen green-red colored pigeons before.
Nice shot (along with Mesut's explanation, didn't know that either).
Best regards.

So you understood already that the peageons have very special place in Turkish Life style.. In the mosques garens there are always encarved shelters for them Lots of people are feeding them and there are CONTESTS as well.
This picture is so nicely taken.. regards
