Pricey carrier pigeon Armando has its own bodyguard

ingelmunster - Award pigeon Armando, which was recently sold for 1.25 million euros to a Chinese investor, has received its own bodyguard. 'The pigeon loft is now monitored 24 hours a day,' says...

Nieuwsblad reports that. Armando's safety must be guaranteed up to and including Thursday, because then the expensive animal will leave for China. 'I will be happy when it is over, because of course you are not comfortable. The security costs me 3,000 euros for those few days, but rather so that something happens to the pigeon. I don't want to think about anyone getting off with Armando. '
