The German Beauty Homer is a breed of fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding, from German racing pigeons.[1] German Beauty Homers along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons are all descendants from the rock pigeon (Columba livia). The breed was first developed around one hundred years ago.[2]
