Racing pigeon from Spain has rare journey to Canada after wrong turn in Mediterranean

A Spanish pigeon keeper is surprised and relieved that a bird that went missing during a race in the Mediterranean has landed in Nova Scotia rather than being devoured by a hawk.On Feb. 22, David Fernandez took his 18 pigeons from his home in Mallorca to Ibiza, from where they would race about 125 kilometres back home. It was a sunny day and it was pigeon No. 9950’s first race.
