Father, son share a love for pigeons
1/6
Keeping pigeons is hard work. The owners have to clean out coops and provide year-round care for the pigeons, giving them vaccines and dietary supplements. But for teenage schoolboy Rifat, keeping pigeons is his favourite hobby. His untiring love for the birds made his father Jahangir, owner of a rickshaw garage in Dhaka's Islambagh, start raising pigeons two years ago. Rifat and his father now have their own flock of 120 pigeons that have become an integral part of their lives.
