A day at the pigeon market
In the small and pittoresque town of Lier, Flanders, you can visit every sunday morning a famous pigeon market. The pigeon sport is a typical Belgian sport with competitions, trusting the magical "GPS-system" of pigeons to find there home, even if they were transported to France. This market in Lier is the greatest pigeon market of Europe and I was astonished by the many languages that I heared this morning : busses full of English, Dutch and German buyers visit the market. Even Bulgarian, ... and Canadian people find the way to Lier.
