Pigeon sport

There are at least four main types of competitive pigeon sport:


 * Pigeon racing
 * Tumbling
 * Highflying
 * Tippler (Endurance)

Though not quite a sport, fancy breeds of pigeons are also bred to standards and judged in a competitive fashion. Levi in his book The Pigeon describes all aspects of pigeon keeping. For exhibition purposes sport pigeons are sometimes grouped as Flying/Sporting Pigeons.
