This is an ancient pastime, as is evidenced by the fact that archeologists have uncovered material that places the domestication of pigeons in Egypt, at some 6000 years BC. It is a hobby that is, and has been enjoyed by people of all walks of life, including the “Royal Families of a number of countries, including England and Belgium” and famous movie stars from all areas of the world.
