The domestic pigeon
is a pigeon that was derived from the rock pigeon. The rock pigeon is the
world's oldest domesticated bird. Mesopotamian cuneiform tablets mention the
domestication of pigeons more than 5,000 years ago, as do Egyptian hieroglyphics. Research suggests that domestication of
pigeons was as early as ten thousand years ago.
People who keep domestic pigeons are generally called pigeon fanciers. Source
