The Belgian pigeon "New Kim" was listed on the auction website of Pipa on November 2. Its starting price is 200 euros (about 1559.92 yuan) and it was sold at a sky-high price of 1.6 million euros (about 12.4793 million yuan) on the 15th, breaking the world record.
According to foreign media reports, less than 90 minutes after the auction of Xinjin started, a South African group let the bid soar to 1.31 million euros (about 10.217 million yuan). Thirty minutes before the end of the auction, two Chinese collectors fought fiercely, and one of them successfully marked it.
report pointed out that the recent enthusiasm of Chinese investors for long-distance pigeons has prompted prices to soar, especially those from traditional racing centers Belgium, which are even more precious. Despite this, the feeders of the new gold were surprised by the final transaction price.
2-year-old Xinjin won the title of "Belgium's Best Young Bird" just in 2018 and was able to retire early. Since pigeons usually have reproductive ability until they are 10 years old, they are expected to produce many young birds in the coming years. Nicholas, CEO of
Pigeon Paradise, said that in the pigeon racing world, male birds are usually more valuable because they can produce more offspring. The new gold is a female bird, "these record-breaking prices are unbelievable." He said that Belgium has the most intensive pigeon racing enthusiasts in the world. "In a very small country, more than 20,000 pigeon fans compete online at very high prices, just like the Champions League."
Previously, the pigeon value record holder was another Belgian pigeon Armando, which was sold at a sky-high price of 1.252 million euros (about 9.765 million yuan) in March last year.
