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.
