The pigeons of Abdulhamid Hana, a 50-year-old Syrian pigeon keeper, are pictured on his roof in Syria's east central city of Raqa on March 13, 2021. Handed down through the generations, the practice of domesticating pigeons stretches across borders from the banks of the Nile across north Africa and beyond, with people not only training birds for competitions, but also serving them up as a dining delicacy.
