Beijing Zoo & the area around

Is the approximate total cost of racing pigeons I saw today.

Today, I visited a pigeon loft in the outskirts of west Beijing with my father. My father is pretty smart with racing homing pigeons, he is considered as one of the top 10 international pigeon experts in the industry. It is very possible that you will read about him in Pigeon Times one day. The first photo is my father holding a Belgium pigeon which the loft’s owner purchased for 300,000 euro. I think he is trying to say… “Wurrrd.”
