List of pigeon breeds

Pigeon Breeds

This is an alphabetical list of pigeon breeds; these are exclusively breeds of the domestic pigeon (Columba livia). Other Columbidae species (e.g., the Barbary dove, Streptopelia risoria) have been domesticated and developed into breeds, but these are generally simple colour variations of the plumage.

Sometimes breeds of pigeons are known by two or more names. When this occurs, Breeds in the list use a common name followed by an = sign and the (AKA) also known as name. In-depth descriptions of the breed, are often linked to the list.
