165th Ace Pigeon

14th Ace Pigeon

A proven and experienced pigeon across two complete series, with the 2026 campaign really standing out. Finishing 14th Ace, along with 22nd and 10th at 246-248 miles, shows Harley’s Special has the ability to perform when the distance increases.

A very nicely balanced, tight-vented pigeon that handles extremely well – a quality pigeon with both the handling and performances to back it up.
