Where pigeons go to die

I saw this movie when I was a kid and it went straight to my heart. It’s a masterpiece for us, the fanciers. It’s about discovering the pigeon hobby at an early age, it’s about life. Why don’t we have such movies nowadays? The current technology could produce wonderful movies about racing pigeons, and nope, I don’t talk about documentaries, but movies for the general audience. Everybody says that this hobby is going to die, but we don’t do anything about that. Is it all about money? Is it all about pigeon auctions, about champion pigeons sold for thousands, are these the things we felt in love with when we were kids? I don’t think so. It’s pretty sad actually.
There was a movie recently about hamsters or guinea pigs, and guess what? The kids allover the world started to get these rodents as pets. Enough said.
Here’s a piece of this great movie, “Where pigeons go to die“:

Great movie … The boy was Robert Gorman and the grandfather Art Carney. Both were invited to attend the AU Convention in Buena Park, CA. We got a nice letter from Art that he was unable to attend but appreciated our invitation. We were going to have a car pickup the young boy and he and his mother were going to attend the convention but at the last minute he got a movie part and had to go out of town. Jim Jenner let them use some of his helicopter film in exchange for Michael Landon’s naration of his video “Marthon in the Sky”.

Great info Chuck, thank you for sharing. God, I’d love to see a new movie like this – Jim Jenner could do that.
