Armando is a champion-bred racing pigeon from Belgium.
This past weekend, he was placed up for auction. The highest sold pigeon, up to this point, was sold for $425,000, which is already a ludicrous amount.
Armando's price nearly tripled that.
A pair of Chinese millionaires engaged in a furious online battle for Armando, with the winner eventually securing the pigeon with a bid of $1.42 million.
