What Kind Of Fancy Pigeon

[PAPA B]

What kind of pigeon is this ?

I believe it is a Turkish Falls.

[THE FIFER]

[Leroy]

Turkish Kelebek?

[PAPA B]

Could it be a cross between Turkish kelebek and Turkish Takla ?

[Leroy]

Could be. Difficult when it's all white. Markings would be a better clue

[THE FIFER]

the way its standing could pass for a garden fantail, not seeing a good side,

[Leroy]

You're right Archie, that's the problem with self white birds, they all look alike!

Its a kelebek takla dont have extra tail feathers and clap tumble go up kelebeks tumble dive in spirals and barrel roll whilst flying also kelebeks very responsive to birds on loft roof or floor dive down to them

[PAPA B]

When this bird molts it always looks amazing.

Good post, well spotted re the tail feathers. I have kelebeks myself, they are neat little birds. Got 4 in the nest right now and two this years young that I hand reared. Can't get the hand reared ones to fly. They won't leave me alone!

If I crossbreed it with a racing pigeon what will I get.

I would guess you would water down the qualities of each parent, so their young won't race or spin/dive like their parents. And you won't be able to sell the young
