For a look at the various fancy pigeon breeds, explore the Fancy Pigeons website. For a look at Thomas Henry Huxley's ideas about domestication, look at the Huxley: On the pigeon-fancier's polity site by R.J. Kilcullen.
For some good information about the evolution of crop domestication, see Crop domestication and crop evolution..
