Ice Pigeon

The Ice Pigeon has several varieties, differing in the type and color of their wing pattern.

Due to the feather dust responsible for the Ice Pigeon's unique coloration, they may not be suitable for people with allergies.

In 1856, Charles Darwin is known to have crossbred the Ice Pigeon in order to ascertain colour patterns.

The Ice Pigeon (German: Eistaube) is a breed of fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding.

Ice Pigeons, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants from the Rock Pigeon (Columba livia).

Charles Darwin is known to have crossbred fancy pigeons, particularly the Ice Pigeon, to study variation within species, this work coming three years before his groundbreaking publication, On the Origin of Species.

Two or three distinct lineages, bred for centuries, were merged to form the modern-day Ice Pigeon: one was light-winged with dark eyes, and another one or two had black wing markings and reddish eyes.
