The Carrier or English Carrier is a breed of fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding.[1] Carriers, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants of the rock dove (Columba livia). They have a long slender body, with a long neck in proportion to the rest of the body, and distinctive features including a rounded hard wattle.
