The homer pigeon is faster and better suited for long journeys than the carrier. It has the widest wingspan, endures long flights, and has flown 800 miles without resting. Typical records include 400 miles in favorable conditions, with 500 miles a day a goal for fliers. Values range from under $100 to $500 for exceptional birds. Peak performance occurs at ages three or four, with gradual decline but still useful at ten to twelve years for shorter runs.
