THE FILM
For the past two years I have been documenting the men and women who continue to race homing pigeons in New York City. It’s a tradition that’s been passed down from generation to generation in the city for over a century. But every year, the community grows smaller and it’s likely that pigeon racing will disappear completely in the coming years.

Eduard shares a very nice movie with us. It’s about his very tame pigeons. Here’s a wonderful black 2008 female from his loft which is very tame. She is paired, isn’t hungry and she is outside the loft, but still, she loves the fancier.

This story happened for real and I will always remember it. A nice sunny day, but very cold. At 2 o’clock I went out to the loft and set the pigeons free for the daily dose of adrenaline (winter by the mountains, you can imagine). The pigeons already had a lot of hawk attacks experience and they were very fit. Seeing the raptor, they make a very tight flock and fly straight to the horizon extremely fast, leaving the hawk behind. This time, they already did the ranging 2 times and were getting back to the home area like little dots on the sky.
