The Story of Walcott Wally and Pigeon Racing

I just wondered what y'all thought of pigeon racing as a niche?

My grandfather was Henry De Plumville, the world-famous pigeon trainer, most famous for training 'Walcott Wally', whom I am sure you have all heard of.

Walcott Wally was known as the Norfolk Thunderbolt, and only lost two races in his entire career. And one of them was due to him being overcome by diarrhea halfway through a race. To his dying day my grandfather insisted this was the result of some underhand tactics by his main rival at the time, Montague Cripps, lacing Wally's feed with laxatives when ironically my uncle left Wally unattended for two minutes to use the toilet himself.

Anyway I digress, do you think pigeon racing would be a good niche?
