Gallia, UK
The English Gallia pigeon, commonly known as the tall nose pigeon, was once revered by the pigeon breeding community as the king of pigeons, is one of the most difficult pigeon breeds to breed, its breeding is also deteriorating, in the early years was a well-known flying breed, when the Arabs, Egyptians, Syrians have longed for the Gallia breed for a while, the recent flying pigeon breed has been replaced by Fu Shu Horm.
Two hundred years ago it was imported from Persia into England, and the tall, tumor-nosed pigeon in England was called the English Gallia pigeon. This pigeon has a very high record of flight, no less speed than fushu hem pigeon. The British improved the strange appearance of the nodule nose to make it more stimulating. He is of the same type as another short-body tumor nose, the Barb, which can be enjoyed in flying competitions.
British Gallia is about 36 cm tall, with tight feathers, broad shoulders and a straight chest, pure black, yellow, brown and gray two-line feathers, red bull's eye, bare shin, ankles and toes are slender, English (Carriers) means transporter, which shows that it is good at flying, and it belongs to the pigeon breed.
Its only disadvantage is its penchant for quarrelling and fighting, and it is advisable to live alone in a loft. In addition to the fact that Gallia is suitable for breeding and improving with the Tregen pigeon, other breeds are difficult to cross and modify.
A good Gallia pigeon, its head, neck and body parts are very well proportioned, although it looks like this multi-tumor nose, will give people goosebumps, in fact, it is valuable in its multi-tumored face.
Gallia in England eats peanuts and beans rich in protein feeds, and the air environment in the loft is kept as clean as possible, which is less resistant to disease. The parrot-billed Gallia has an even uglier sarcoma – and the most beautiful – it has the most standard body shape, the best posture and the richest flying skills, and the solid color feathers are very attractive to the audience on the exhibition stand.
Its life can be divided into three stages: the young bird stage, the middle pigeon period, the adult period (more than eighteen months), and Gallia must wait until the adult pigeon period to fully develop the characteristics of body size, sarcoma, eyes and mouth.
Scanderoon
The Skandelon pigeon, some people call it the Lunces pigeon, but it is not known where the meaning of the name "Lunce" comes from. Scanderoon is a seaport in Syria, but this pigeon is close to the German Gallia pigeon, so the German Scant is very famous, but it is not very common in Syria, England and Africa.
It is recorded in the literature that it was a new breed bred by the Eastern Bada pigeon and Gallia. It is one of the ugliest of the pigeons, and it seems that the proportions of the whole body are unbalanced; Long head, narrow chest, thin face, curved mouth, long but not straight feet, and a pair of eyes full of doubt.
Its nostrils are long, from the tip of the mouth to the eyes at least 5 cm or more, the crescent-shaped mouth, let people see this look, mostly do not dare to compliment. Perhaps it is its ugly appearance that has its preciousness, and the more it can attract everyone's attention.
In fact, the Skandelons have a very strong body, and they are extremely resistant to disease, and the homing brooding is also quite ideal, with an annual output of up to twelve pairs of young birds. Because of his ugly appearance, he was loved by the circus class and regarded as a treasure, trained in air performances, and performed with cats and dogs to make people laugh.
Its plumage is red, yellow, black, blue, silver and gray, its standard type is white head, black eye ring, black shoulder, black tail, pure white wings, shin and curved beak, it is a pigeon bird that combines flight and play.
It is more appropriate to say that it is a wild bird than a pigeon. It is similar in size to a magpie, not much like a normal type of pigeon bird. Some pigeon breeders dedicate their Skandron pigeons to fly or exhibit because of their gallia pedigree and the ability to fly for a five-hundred-kilometer course. "Theugly scan" is a common name, and it is also its glorious name.
Epilogue:
The current pigeon form is relatively close, for some laymen or less observant fanciers may feel the same about the external shape of the pigeon, the above two pigeon breeds are not known from the specific year now, but it is very certain that this is a pigeon more than 200 years ago.
Compared with the current carrier pigeon, it feels that it is simply not the same species, as the naturalist Darwin (Darwin is also a well-informed fancier) said, all the pigeons in this world in the early days were bred by more than a dozen primitive rock pigeon families, under domestic conditions and different terroirs in different places to make the domestic pigeons have stronger variability, the process of mutation is sometimes subtle and gradual, sometimes it is a sudden violent mutation, once the formation of various characteristics and appearance of different pigeon families, through the crossbreeding between different pigeon families, It will accelerate the emergence of new strains.
We now play with the pigeons in the same bloodline once appeared in the above ancestors, read the above to explain very well, some pigeon breeds can breed good offspring between the pair is indeed a pair, in their own heartless situation, a breeder to choose what pigeons to pair if you can consult the original pigeon owner that is the best.
And why not use personal likes and dislikes and appearance criteria to rashly judge the performance of pigeon breeds that you do not understand, and if there are many discordant-looking pigeons, there may be only one reason for the existence of a strong loft, that is, "strength responsibility".
