Bobby is my neighbor. He does construction work to make money, but he lives for his birds. We talk about them a lot. This is the first piece I produced about Bobby. I later took a trip with him to the local pigeon club, and then to his first pigeon race.

Review of Bobby's Birds
Bobby's Birds would work well as an intro to The First Pigeon Race, also by Megan Hall. It sets up Bobby's interest in pigeons and also how he got involved with them in the first place. I liked the listing of the pigeons' names at the first of the piece.
