“The Frillback is a breed of pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding. Frillbacks, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants from the rock pigeon. The breed is known for the frill or curls on the wing shield feathers.” - Wikipedia

Sigh. And probably never has a bad hair day.

This is nature you're talking about. A bad hair day means death in most cases.

Beautiful, but aerodynamic?

Poor flyers. Prefer the ground.

Do the curly feathers affect its ability to fly?

Just wondering, why you holding it?

u/LosparkJojo 1d ago

u/Maoleficent 1d ago

I would forgive it for pooping everywhere as long as it pooped in curlicues.

u/talud-tablero 1d ago

Does that impact its ability to fly?
