Pigeon

The most expensive pigeon in the world was sold to a wealthy Chinese buyer, who shelled out $200,000 at a Belgium auction for a highly pedigreed racing pigeon.  Known as Blue Prince, this ‘designer’ pigeon seems a breed apart from the plump, trash-foraging birds commonly seen in urban parks.  Currently living out his retirement on a Chinese roof top,  Blue Prince is no longer expected to race, but was purchased to breed more speedy champions like himself.
