    Armando, a Belgian star racing pigeon, auctioned for 1.25 million Euros

    Armando had been expected to break the previous record of 376,000 Euros paid for a pigeon called Nadine -- but not by such a wide margin.

    A star racing pigeon named Armando has fetched a record 1.25 million Euros in an online auction, Belgian media reported. The prized bird -- Belgian's best long-distance racer of all time according to those in the know -- was snapped up by a Chinese buyer for a princely sum that caused a flutter of excitement among fanciers.
