Bolt held in Beijing

Feathers are flying after Chinese authorities seized hundreds of Belgian pigeons, including Bolt, the world's most expensive racer, sold for 310,000 euros ($419,800) earlier this year.

Bolt was released last Thursday, together with 400 of his feathered friends, but a further 1,200 racing pigeons are still captive because of a dispute over import duties.

The Belgian ambassador to Beijing is in talks to try to free the rest, the Belgian foreign ministry said on Sunday.

You would think that they would escape through the bars in the windows?

Hmmmm crispy Peking Pigeon
