Homing Pigeon Color Variations

My name is Joseph Shung Chiang Lee. Now I am going to show you all the different colors of the birds. I will show you in the sequence of my choice. The best color according to me is the dark checker, the dark bird. This bird as you can see has got some checks and is dark in color; they are called dark checker. As because it has little bit white here, so the color of this bird is dark checker Pide. Pide means the white color and has got little white on the head also. The second choice is the blue checker. This bird as you can see is lighter color that bird. This is called blue checker. It's got the check and and is called blue checker. This bird is a very healthy bird. It's got even powder on the wing feathers. You can see all those white powders on the feathers. The third choice of mine according to the color, is blue. The color of this bird is blue. As you can see it's got 2 bars. It is very rare you will get the bluebird without the bar. The barless blue are very less. This is a red checker. It's got red checks and a little white on the head. The color of this bird is called red checker bide. The color of this bird is called mealy. It is truly a red version of the blue. It's got bide also. The color of this bird is called dark checker bide and you can also call it the grizzle color. As you can see this bird has got lots of white and I mentioned the white color pigeons are not preferred for racing as because they get targeted by the hawk when they are flying in the group and moreover I have told you that the feathers get burnt out fast in the long distance race. As you can see in the sides it is already burned out a little bit.
