Saxon Fairy Swallow
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Saxon Fairy Swallow is a breed of fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding. Saxon Fairy Swallows, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants from the Rock Pigeon (Columba livia).[1] The Saxon Swallows and Wing Pigeons have various markings and patterns (spot marking, cap marking etc.).[2]
Saxon Fairy Swallow pigeons are well-known for the odd feathered feet.
