About Frillback Pigeons: Frillback pigeons are a fancy breed of domestic pigeon known for their distinctive curled feathers, called "frills" which appear primarily on the wing shield and sometimes along the body. They originate from selective breeding in Europe and have been recognized for several centuries. Frillbacks come in many color varieties, including white, black, red, and grizzle. Their curled feathers do not affect their ability to fly, but they are primarily kept for exhibition rather than performance. The breed typically has a well-rounded body, a slightly elongated neck, and feathered feet in many lines. Their temperament is generally calm and docile, making them suitable for aviaries. Frillbacks require regular grooming due to their unique plumage. They are valued by pigeon fanciers worldwide for their ornate and unusual appearance. // Image Credit: Schachtzabel, Emil. 1906.
