The Rev. A. Headly, popularly known as "Wiltshire Rector," informs us, "I have been a Pigeon Fancier all my life, from my early boyhood being allowed and encouraged in the fancy of my own respected father, who at eighty odd still enjoyed the sight of a good bird-fowl or Pigeon... I am a father whose elder boys were allowed and encouraged by me to keep all kinds of pets, and my sons 'went straight' in lide and have done well, and I think permitted them to have fancy Pigeons had something to with it."
