PETOSKEY — Mike Netzky and the 4-H Flying Clovers are returning to the Petoskey District Library again this year with their homing pigeons for an event at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 18.

Netzky and the 4-Hers will discuss more about pigeons and how they love to fly. When released from their home loft, pigeons will often go “ranging” and fly miles around just for the fun of it before they come back to their home loft for food and shelter. The program will take place at the library’s outdoor labyrinth with the pigeons’ loft set up along Waukazoo Avenue.
