Voorburg shield cropper

The Voorburg Shield Cropper is a breed of fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding. Voorburg Shield Croppers, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants from the Rock Pigeon (Columba livia).[1] This breed was developed by C.S.T. Van Gink at Voorburg in Holland in 1935.[2]
