A pigeon auction, also known as a squab sale, is an event where pigeons are sold to the highest bidders. The best pigeon auctions are those that offer a wide variety of pigeons, from racing pigeons to show pigeons to meat pigeons. These auctions are typically held by pigeon clubs or organizations, and they provide an opportunity for pigeon breeders to sell their birds to other breeders or fanciers.
Pigeon auctions are important because they allow breeders to improve their stock by purchasing birds from other breeders. They also provide an opportunity for new breeders to get started in the hobby, as they can purchase birds at a relatively low cost. In addition, pigeon auctions can be a lot of fun, as they provide an opportunity for breeders to socialize and share their love of pigeons.
