A racing pigeon in Indonesia was reportedly sold for over $100,000, making it the most expensive bird sale in the country.

Indonesia resident Robby Eka Wijaya purchased the male bird, named Jayabaya, to compete in the nation’s popular — and sometimes lucrative — pigeon races, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

Wijaya paid 1 billion rupiah — or $101,700 — for Jayabaya, who received the highest score facing off against thousands of birds in last year’s national pigeon racing competing, the new owner told ABC.

“From what I’ve observed in the past 10 years, there are only two or three birds that are like him,” said Wijaya.

Pigeon races include speed racing and freestyle flying, according to the report.

Typically, the birds sell for about 20,000 rupiah, or $2. Victors of pigeon races can receive anywhere from $7,500 to $10,000, the report said.

Despite packed fields in pigeon races with up to 2,000 competitors, Wijaya declared it would be “easy” to profit from his hefty purchase.
