Welcome to the Domestic pigeon task force of WikiProject Birds.

Scope[edit]

This task force covers anything related to the care and breeding of domesticated pigeons. The following types of articles fall within the scope of this task force's mission:

  • racing pigeons and other aerial competitions (e. g. thieving competitions)
  • important books related to raising domesticated pigeons
  • magazines (past and present) associated with pigeon keeping
  • biographies of important people in the history of the keeping of domesticated pigeons
  • aspects of genetics specific to domesticated pigeons
    • documentation of what is known regarding mutants found only in domesticated pigeons
  • history of domesticated pigeons and mankind's relationship with the pigeon.

Articles regarding doves, other species of pigeons, and other columbiformes are outside of the scope of this task force. This is because the scope of domestic pigeons is already substantial without adding the subject of doves and other species of pigeons.

  • Category:Pigeon breeds. All pigeon breed articles about a specific breed should be labeled with this.
