A champion racing pigeon has been sold for a record $1.42m - beating the previous most valued pigeon by nearly $1 million.

The auction house Pipa called Armando the "best Belgian long-distance pigeon of all time".

So, why is Armando so valuable? Ian Evans - boss of the Royal Pigeon Racing Association in the UK - told Newsday's Alan Kasujja.
