Saed News: You have probably heard many stories about successful and wealthy millionaires in Rajasthan, but you may not know that even pigeons in this region are millionaires.

The City Where Its Pigeons Are Millionaires

According to SAEDNEWS, pigeons in this area possess significant wealth without knowing anything about money or assets.

These multimillionaire pigeons, whose names are well-known in Rajasthan, India, own more than 27 shops, several stores, and various properties and estates. The wealth registered in their names is astonishing, and interestingly, a pigeon can own all of these assets in its own name without any guardian or legal representative.

The story of these pigeons becoming wealthy began about four decades ago, around 40 years ago, when an industrialist started doing new activities inspired by his predecessors. He encouraged people to contribute financially and otherwise to provide water and food for the innocent birds of the city, namely pigeons.

People welcomed this request and began collecting donations from their own city and even other cities.

Soon, these donations improved conditions, and because of the better situation of birds in the region, their population increased.

After providing water and food, the next step was medical equipment, which was first provided for pigeons and then for other sick animals.

Public donations made the pigeons richer and richer. This continued until the donations for birds became so large that the people responsible for collecting them were able to establish various shops and stores using this enormous wealth.

The money used to buy these properties came from public donations for the birds, which is why these stores were registered in the name of the pigeons and became known as “Pigeon Trusts.”

Interestingly, the shops purchased with public money are rented back to the same people, creating a new source of income for the city’s pigeon fund. This has a different perspective for those who understand the full story.

The rent of these shops, whose owners are the city’s pigeons, is about 80,000 rupees per month.
