Record auction price for New Kim beats last year’s €1.252m for Armando, another Belgian
A two-year-old Belgian racing pigeon called New Kim set a world record of €1.6m (£1.4m) at an auction that ended on Sunday, the online auction house said.
Offers for the pigeon had already hit €1.32m in the past week, surpassing the previous record of €1.252m set in March 2019 for another Belgian pigeon, Armando. They then went higher in a frantic last 30 minutes of bidding on Sunday.
