Although not as fanatic as other European countries, the Dutch do have a small but strong history of racing pigeons. The stone trophy is a life size sculpture, but there’s not much to be gleamed for what it was awarded for. More intriguing is the paper certificate from a race which seems to be not a trophy, but a diploma awarded for taking part; signed by the chairman and the secretary of the racing association. There is still an active racing pigeon scene across the Netherlands.
