They actually originate from the rock dove(/pigeon) and have been captured and domesticated over thousands of years. In Charles Darwins time there were people selectively breeding pigeons with desirable features (certain colours, tail length etc) and eventually they come out with new ''breeds''. Peid imperial pigeons are a result of trial and error breeding from another breed of pigeon (its basiclly been genetically mutated). Probably quite a long time ago.
