Poster

Poster is an uncommon name in English pigeon breed lists, best treated as a regional domestic pigeon label unless a specific local standard is provided. It refers to a fancy pigeon descended from the rock pigeon, but published descriptions are sparse and the name may be translated differently in European sources. When it appears in collections, it is usually handled as a show or specialty breed rather than a modern racing or meat strain.

For keepers, the first task is confirming what breeder community means by Poster. Photographs of parent birds, show paperwork where available, and clear discussion of expected type matter more than the name alone. Husbandry follows ordinary pigeon practice, centered on a dry loft, safe perches, clean water, and a balanced grain mix. Because the label is not widely documented, buyers should be cautious about paying for rarity without seeing healthy, fertile, well-kept stock.
