Scandaroon pigeon

Scandaroon (yellow)

The Scandaroon is a breed of fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding.[1] Scandaroons, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants from the rock pigeon (Columba livia). The breed is also known as a Nuremberg Bagdad.[2]

The most distinctive characteristics of this breed are its long beak, which curves downward, and its striking red cere.[3]
