Question
is pigeon flying allowed in islam?

Answer
pigeon were used as postman earlier. But flying them for passion is something different. Its like wasting your time and encouraging others to do so.

Therefore abstain from such things and spend much time in Zikr and remembrance of Allah.

"Remember Allah abundantly, in order that you become successful"
Quran (Surah 8: Verse 45) "Believers, do not let either your possessions or your children divert you from the Remembrance of Allah. Those who do that shall be the losers".
Quran (Surah 63: Verse 9)

"Only in the remembrance of Allah (swt) will your heart find peace"
Quran (Surah 13: Verse 28) "Whosoever turns away from My remembrance, his life will be made tight and narrow on the Day of Resurrection We shall raise him blind"
Quran (Surah 20: Verse 124)

"Those men and women who engage much in Allah's praise. for them Allah has prepared forgiveness and a Great Reward"
Quran (Surah 33: Verse 35) "Whosoever turns away from the Remembrance of Allah, He will hurl him into a stern punishment".
Quran (Surah 72: Verse 17)
