Pigeons and Education

 

PIGEONS & EDUCATION

by Jim Emerton

Many aspects of the sport can be infused into school curricula, college courses and the wider media for mainstream consumption. We can analyse aspects of it in relation to geography, maths, natural science and psychology covering diverse topics such as navigation, nutrition, timing and the sport's seating in history, war and tradition. The complete sphere of interest is as wide as the culture is broad - the permutations are endless. I have recently had some of my pigeon articles published in FOLIO, the creative writing special interest group of Mensa for UK and international circulation. If it stimulates minds out there, then the objective is being realised, and I hope to assist a young lady in her Masters and PHD researches, giving added impetus to the ancient practice of pigeon racing. Most fanciers do thrive on a little recognition and publicity perhaps.
