Louis Santoro has kept racing pigeons since he was a young boy growing up in Italy. We joined him at his pigeon loft to hear about the hobby he has loved throughout his childhood and adult life.

The birds lay low all winter but they can reach incredible speeds when they compete in summer. Meet Louis Santoro, an Ottawa hobbyist who sends his birds soaring into competition as part of a racing club in the outskirts of the city. This story first appeared on 25th Hour.
