The Nun is a breed of fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding. Nuns, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants from the Rock Pigeon (Columba livia).[1] The Nun is one of the oldest breeds and was originally a flying tumbler before being developed for exhibition.[2]
