Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

This antique text comprises a comprehensive guide on fancy pigeons, including full descriptions for their breeding and management, with descriptions of every known variety and all other information of interest or use to pigeon fanciers. A book that will greatly appeal to anyone with an interest in pigeons and fancy pigeons, this text makes for a worthy addition to collections of pigeon fancying literature and is not to be missed by the discerning collector. The chapters of this book include: Historical Origin of Fancy Pigeons; The Pigeon House, Loft, and Aviary; Selection of Stock; Feeding, Breeding, and Management; Colours of Fancy Pigeons; Exhibiting Pigeons, Diseases, Varieties of Domestic Pigeons; Common Pigeons; etcetera. This text was originally published in 1887, and is proudly republished now complete with a new introduction on the subject.
