Pigeon Pincher
When an award-winning fancy pigeon keeper in B.C.’s Fraser Valley discovers his entire flock missing – over 300 fancy pigeons, cockatiels, canaries, and finches – he goes to the police and learns the region has recently been hit with a number of livestock thefts. Without immediate answers from law enforcement about the fate of his beloved birds, he relies on the old-school detective instincts of a close friend, as well as a more modern approach by a young fancier from his pigeon club, to discover if he’s just another victim in the rash of thefts, or if a rival breeder is behind the pigeon pinching.
