On September 23, 2005 a total of 15 birds were released from Kashgar, Xinjiang, CHINA. A new world record has been broken by a blue Chinese bird named “Creation Invincible” CHN2003-11-007675. It took 83 days to cross the “Dead Desert”, a distance of 4308 km, breaking the old record for the longest distance of homing pigeons created by the American bird named “Blue Barron” in 1981, flying from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast, a distance of 4,072 km. The two year old blue cock with ring number “1979VDS38” raised by Kent, and the bloodline was Janssen X Bricoux. Only 2 pigeons were clocked from Kashgar flight, the first pigeon flew 3640 km in 38 days.
