Racing pigeon sells for record $2.6 million

A two year old Belgian racing pigeon named New Kim sold for 1.6 million euros, about $2.6 million, through a European auction house that also trades under the name PIPA. The winning Chinese bidder had set the previous record of 1.25 million euros with the male pigeon Armando in 2019. The auction house said Chinese buyers now accounted for roughly half of its annual sales.
