The Norwich Cropper is a breed of Fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding.[1] The Norwich Cropper along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons are all descendants from the Rock Pigeon (Columba livia). The Norwich Cropper is thought to have been developed from a breed called the Oploper and is of Dutch origin.[2]
