ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

American Racing Pigeon Union

Okay kiddo, so have you ever seen pigeons flying around in the sky? Well, some people like to train those pigeons to race each other. They put special rings on their feet with a unique number to identify them, like a fancy bracelet.

The American Racing Pigeon Union (ARPU) is a club made up of people who love racing pigeons. They help organize races and keep track of the pigeons’ speeds and times, kind of like a stopwatch. ARPU also makes sure that everyone who races pigeons follows the same rules.

But ARPU isn’t just about racing pigeons, they also work to train and care for the birds. They teach people how to raise healthy pigeons and make sure that they have a safe place to live. They even have special events where people can show off their pigeons and win prizes.

So, in summary, ARPU is a bunch of people who love racing pigeons and take care of them. They make sure everyone follows the rules and that the birds are healthy and happy. Pretty cool, right?
