Written by 60 Minutes has reported on plenty of high-profile crimes before — but nothing like the “fowl play” involving the Columba livia domestica. That’s not some international crime syndicate. That’s the scientific name for pigeons, and they’re being stolen. We’re talking about elite racing pigeons. The finest compete at international events in which they are released far from home and must find their way back.

What Kentucky is to thoroughbred horses, Belgium is to racing pigeons. and there are few better at breeding a champion than Tom Van Gaver. where some see a bird that looks like it’s trying to remember how to breathe, Van Gaver sees an elite athlete with a calculating gaze. Sharyn Alfonsi: What makes this pigeon a great racer?
