Exhibition Homer
The Exhibition Homer is a show pigeon developed from homer ancestry and selected for the exhibition pen. It has the strong, alert character of the homer family but is judged on head, beak, eye, body balance, feather condition, and station rather than racing results. Several national types exist, so the exact look may vary by country and standard.
Exhibition Homers need conditioning, bathing, good ventilation, and enough exercise to stay firm. Breeders should choose pairings for show type while preserving fertility, vitality, and sound parenting. Buyers should ask which standard the birds are bred to, since English, Dutch, Belgian, and other homer types are not interchangeable. The breed suits fanciers who enjoy structural detail and show preparation more than those seeking a racing loft foundation.
