Pigeons & Doves · breed reference
The most popular show pigeon in America — a small, round, chicken-shaped bird from Modena, where its ancestors were FLOWN in the medieval triganieri street games before the show bench claimed it. Comes in more colour combinations than any breed in the fancy (the two great families, Gazzi and Schietti, split pied from self). The gateway show breed: hardy, prolific, easy to keep well.
