EVERY PIGEON BREED EXPLAINED 🕊️

All domestic pigeon breeds — from the Fantail with its 42-feather display tail, to the self-inflating Pouter, the hood-wearing Jacobin, the aerobatic Birmingham Roller, and the curly-feathered Frillback — descend from the humble Rock Pigeon, the same "city pest" that has lived alongside humans for 5,000 years; meanwhile, the Racing Homer navigates 600 miles home without GPS at 60 mph, war pigeons like Cher Ami earned military medals saving soldiers' lives, and the Rock Pigeon itself mates for life, recognizes human faces, and produces crop milk — making it one of the most biologically remarkable birds on Earth.
