Keeping Fantail Pigeons

This most unusual breed of pigeon has been in existence for hundreds of years. Over the years the form has been changed and the tail has become larger.
These pigeons are kept as an ornamental feature (garden fantail) or for exhibiting; they become very tame and breed quite readily.
This book explains the different varieties and how they are kept to keep them happy.
The book is well illustrated throughout and now includes a coloured plate showing the full beauty of the breed.
