1976: PIGEONS for PEACE | Nationwide | Weird and Wonderful | BBC Archive

It’s the height of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, and bitter division is rife. But there is now an unlikely force for reconciliation- pigeon-fancying. Most sports are seen as “belonging” to one community or another, and support for teams is split along community lines. But one pastime bring both communities together with no fuss and no aggravation. Nationwide visited Northern Ireland to hear from pigeon-loving clergy and visit the “pigeon Ponderosa” – a massive building housing 500 of the most pampered birds in Ireland, complete with a pigeon-themed stained glass window. Excerpt taken from Nationwide, originally broadcast on BBC One, Wednesday, 28 January 1975.
