I HAVE BEEN PROMOTING THE BEAUTIFUL ENGLISH TRUMPETER PIGEON FOR MANY YEARS, I REMEMBER WHEN I HAD SEEN ENGLISH TRUMPETERS THE FIRST TIME, IT WAS IN THE EARLY 1960's AT A FELLOW NEIGHBORHOOD LOFT. AT THE TIME I WAS JUST A YOUNG TEENAGER AND ALREADY HAD A FEW OTHER BREEDS OF FANCY PIGEONS. I WAS FROM THE FIRST TAKEN BY THE ENGLISH TRUMPETERS BEAUTY AND UNIQUENESS AND KNEW THAT THIS BREED I HAD TO HAVE. IT TOOK ME A FEW YEARS BEFORE I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PURCHASE THEM. THE ENGLISH TRUMPETER IS AMONG THE MOST POPULAR FANCY SHOW BREED PIGEONS IN NORTH AMERICA. THE MODERN ENGLISH TRUMPETER IS TRULY A NORTH AMERICAN CREATION. THEIR ANCESTORS WERE BROUGHT TO THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA IN THE LATE 1800's FROM ENGLAND AND EUROPE. BEING PART OF THE BROAD FAMILY OF TRUMPETER PIGEON (REFERRING TO THEIR VOICE, WHICH IS A TRUMPETING OR A DRUMMING SOUND), THEY PROBABLY ORIGINATED IN THE CENTRAL ASIA REGION.
