Pigeon breeding
As pigeon breeding is defined as the commercial or hobby -driven breeding of domestic pigeons . Since a pigeon house is usually very expensive, several pigeon fanciers usually share one.
Historical
The domestication of the rock pigeon by humans began thousands of years ago in India. Historically, pigeon breeding had different motives. Accordingly, fattening pigeons (meat supplier), carrier pigeons (communication) and breeds with aesthetic peculiarities in flight behavior (e.g. Purzler ) or appearance ( beauty pigeons ) emerged.
Association
If at least seven pigeon fanciers come together in one club , one speaks of a pigeon fanciers club . The aim is to organize joint events through the organizational structure of the association as well as the supraregional merger with other associations.
