English Trumpeter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The English Trumpeter is a breed of fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding.[1] English Trumpeters along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons are all descendants from the Rock Pigeon (Columba livia). This is one of the most popular breeds in the USA.[2]
[edit] Origin
The name is misleading, as this breed as known today is an American creation.[2]
