Darwin developed his "theory of natural selection" by studying pigeon breeders and their practice of artificial selection. This artificial selection helped Darwin to conclude that if the traits of the captive pigeons were passed to the offspring in a selective manner, the selection of traits was also possible in nature.
EXPLANATION:
For his theory, Darwin studied pigeons and their different breeds. Darwin found out that birds of different breeds were able to produce fertile offspring.
