ANKARA, TURKIYE - NOVEMBER 2: Erkan Eser keeps tumbling pigeons in th coop he built inside his shop at Cankaya district as people who keep pigeons in special areas they set up in their homes and workplaces are known as “Birders” in Ankara, Turkiye on November 2, 2024. “Tumbler pigeons”, which are preferred more because of their ability to do somersaults while flying, are among the species that birders take care of carefully. Citizens take the pigeons they feed on the roofs and gardens of their homes and workplaces out of their coops at the first light of the morning and watch them fly. The biggest fear of birders is that birds of prey and cats harm their pigeons. The pigeons, which can be sold at high prices depending on their species, sometimes change hands between poultrymen at auctions organized for charity. Akin Celiktas / Anadolu/ABACAPRESS.COM
