    About this ebook

    This text contains a detailed treatise on the correct methods for the management and maintenance of domestic and fancy pigeons, including a wealth of information on such topics as diet, health and ailments, training, breeding, and many more besides. Containing everything a pigeon-keeper could possibly want to know about the subject, this book is perfect for the amateur fancier and also constitutes a great reference book for existing pigeon-keepers. Many antique books such as this are increasingly costly and hard to come by, and it is with this in mind that we have elected to republish this old book now complete with a new introduction on the subject of aviculture.
