The Voorburg Shield Cropper is a breed of fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding.
Voorburg Shield Croppers, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants of the rock dove (Columba livia). This breed was developed by C.S.T. Van Gink at Voorburg in the Netherlands in 1935.
Their NPA standard notes that they should be a "...friendly, animated pigeon that is quite responsive to human voices and attention. In show condition, it should give a constant, active performance." They are unafraid of people, even in the unfamiliar circumstances of their first pigeon show.
