The Fantail pigeon has been a most endeared species of pigeon in the British Isles for about 400 years. It is said that the ancestors of the Fantail pigeon was recognised on the continent of Europe in about 1600 when English merchant traders worked in India to establish what was later to become the British East India Company. We may be certain that from that time onwards fantails from India in Whites, Colours & Saddles found their way from time to time by ship to England. The great turning point in the history of the Fantail pigeon in this country was reached finally in 1889 after an abortive attempt in 1886, when leading fanciers of that day, Messrs, Lee, House, Harrower, Bird, Marshall Harvey and from Scotland William Stevenson met on the occasion of a pigeon show at the Crystal Palace, Sydenham, to establish the Fantail Club and to set up a standard for the breed and its Coloured, Marked and Lace varieties. This standard has since been universally and widely accepted all over the world It remains almost unchanged even to this day, except for the updating of certain technology, and it has led to the creation of the modern fantail, embodying the best of the English & Scottish types. The exquisite Fantail pigeons, as we know it now has no earlier counterpart, but is the surpassing achievement of the fanciers of previous generations and also of fanciers of our own friendship and time.
