信鸽

来源: Wikipedia - Pigeon racing (founding breeds, race distances of 100 to 1,000 km, age at first race, racing career of three to four years, banding at about five days old, timing methods) / Wikipedia - Homing pigeon (average speed about 97 km/h, top speed 160 km/h, recorded flights of 1,800 km) / Japanese Wikipedia - Homing pigeon (designation as a working animal in Japan, banding and ownership registration, taking in strays, vaccination, the two governing bodies, electronic clocking systems)

国内法规: Only captive-bred birds are traded, and banding with registration of ownership is a precondition. Free-living rock doves in Japan are covered by the Wildlife Protection Act, and taking or killing them is in principle not permitted.

家鸽（Columba livia domestica）及其野生祖先原鸽均未列入CITES任何附录，也不属于日本的特定外来生物（鸟类仅7种）。在日本，赛鸽被视为农林水产省主管的役用动物，须佩戴脚环并登记所有权、收容迷鸽、接种疫苗。
