Is this the first time they've suspended the pigeon races since the initial outbreak?

Possibly? Information is hard to find. There are reports that the person who is infected with H7N9 in Beijing ate pigeon meat (and had poultry exposure) before illness onset.

Remember that they stalled the pigeon races early in the process last year?

But they didn't seem to have much follow-through with that idea.

Now that the Passerine paper is public, more scrutiny will be directed toward songbirds and peri-domestic avian species.

We should watch for any trend in cancellations related to regular birds, including pets.
