Indian Gola
The Indian Gola is a small pigeon that looks similar to dragoon pigeons. This pigeon has red eyes and is a bird of speed and endurance. They have an average speed of 65-70 mph, and can fly more than 10–11 hours without stopping. It is a homing pigeon with a very good homing instinct, but cannot be used for racing because the adults cannot be trained. These pigeons always move freely; the only way to train them is by bringing them when they are 10–12 days old and feeding them by hand. Once they grow up and know their loft properly, they will try their level best to return to their loft.

What to Know Before Buying an Indian Gola
Finding a responsible Indian Gola breeder requires more than browsing classified ads or responding to social media posts. The USDA requires any breeder who sells pigeons commercially — especially those selling online or through third-party dealers — to hold a federal license and submit to regular inspections. A legitimate breeder should be willing to provide their USDA license number, invite you to visit their facility, and show you where the animals are housed and socialized.
Before committing to a purchase, ask the breeder for veterinary health records, vaccination documentation, and any genetic testing results relevant to the Indian Gola. Reputable breeders will also ask you questions in return — about your living situation, experience with animals, and ability to provide long-term care. A breeder who asks no questions and is eager to ship an animal immediately is a significant red flag.
Use the search tool below to check whether any USDA-licensed facilities breeding Indian Golas appear in our database. If they do, review their inspection history carefully. Look for patterns of violations, pay attention to severity levels, and compare their compliance grade with other breeders in the same state. This due diligence takes minutes and can save you from supporting a facility with documented animal welfare problems.
