In nature, the feathers of birds can be described as colorful and varied, adding infinite vitality to the earth we live in. The feathers of the pigeons are not fancy, but they are very practical. The formation of these colorful feathers is related to many factors such as the living environment and living habits in which they live. Its plumage plays a very important protective role in defending against predators. For example, gray and blue sky, belly white and white clouds, dark color and desert, etc., in order to conceal themselves as much as possible to disguise themselves, not easy to be attacked by predators and maintain the space for survival. Since the pigeon does not live in the exotic flowers and flowers of green flowers, it is enough to only need low-color raindrops and unicorn flowers, and it no longer needs those colorful and dazzling colored feathers, even for those ornamental pigeons, they do not win with bright colors, but with a variety of feathers, feathers and shapes to attract the strengths of the family.
Some fanciers believe that the white pigeons have obvious targets and are easily chased by eagles and falcons in the race, but the conclusion through long-term observation is that the eagles and falcons are more interested in the red pigeons. In fact, it is not entirely so, for eagles and falcons, the main key to capturing pigeons is that it is in a hungry or full state of problem, for eagles and falcons in a state of hunger, no matter what kind of pigeons, it is difficult to escape the pursuit of eagles and falcons, which is determined by the evolutionary law of one thing and one thing between species in the world.
Master Li Meiling likes deep rain, Huang Zhong prefers light rain, Yang Dengyuan likes "Yang Jiaxia", Zhang Xikun likes "Xi Kun Bai", Mr. Cun Song likes "Village Song White", Mr. Tao Deyao likes "Qilin Flower".... Some are personal preferences, and some are pigeons of which feather color, first of all, for him to get "honor", of course, he also likes which feather color. It is only because of the white main wing feathers and white, white-tailed pigeons, the structural quality of the feather twig "hook" seems to be worse in comparison, so its feeding conditions are relatively higher, requiring that the feeding density can be appropriately relaxed, otherwise the wing feather tips and tail feathers that have been repeatedly damaged will always be dirty, whether it is the pigeon fancier who comes to the door to appreciate the pigeons or admires themselves, it will always feel elegant and unpleasant.
The plumage color of the feathers is related to the chemical pigments contained in the feathers and the refraction of light. It is also affected by the hormones in its body. Generally speaking, in the spring breeding season, the feathers of birds are more beautiful, especially male birds, pigeons are also the same, especially ornamental pigeons will be more obvious, when the male pigeons in the mother pigeon courting and grunting, the neck and chest air sac bulging feathers refract a variety of colors, flashing and very cute. Among them, melanin makes the feathers black, black bright pigment makes the feathers reddish or yellow, and lipid pigment makes the feathers appear red, yellow and green. In this way, the color of the feathers is more colorful under the refraction and reflection of different angles of the light source.
Feather color is not related to ability to fly and speed. The feathers and color of the pigeon for the pigeon, only equivalent to its "coat", people require it to be beautiful and outstanding, such as flowers like brocade, graceful and luxurious, plus its grunting, stepping and jumping, the posture of flaunting and might, a feather dress red as fire, black like charcoal, white as silver, flowers as butterflies, gray two black stripes are clear and distinct, raindrops are dotted feathers arranged neatly, layered, markings are clear and clear, for butterfly flowers, magpie flowers, miscellaneous flowers require symmetry of the pattern, and the distribution also has a certain regularity to be loved. In fact, the feather color is only the personal preference of the fanciers, but the pigeons are only mostly gray and rainy, and the ornamental pigeons have their own inherent special style and feather color. Zhang Wanzhong said that "the five colors are divided into 'quality', and the five colors are 'wen'". The "five colors" referred to here should refer to the five monochromatic colors of white, black, purple, blue and gray. The feather color of the pigeon is also inseparable from the principle of three-color combination, that is, the different combinations of red, black and blue primary colors. The coat color or feather color of any animal is indispensable to the existence of white individual populations, white dogs, white cats, white bears, white whales, white sables, white wolves, white tigers, white cows... and the white eagle, white goose, white swan and white sparrow, white quail and so on. Scientists have yet to discover any animal that does not have a white population. Therefore, white is a kind of colorless, which can also be explained as the loss of pigment cells, and pigeons are no exception, whether it is a racing pigeon or ornamental pigeon of that strain, it is also indispensable to the possibility of white feather dominance. Colorful feathers are formed by the combination of these three primary colors, so the pigeon's feather gene combination form is only composed of red, black and blue primary colors; or by the combination of red, black and blue primary colors; the lack of primary colors becomes colorless - white.

In addition, occasionally, half of them are gray and the other half is rain pigeons.
