English Carrier

Description:

It is a breed of pigeons that was originally bred and selected as a carrier pigeon. They are birds with a slender figure, with a rather imposing posture. They can measure about 25-30 cm in length and weigh 250 grams. Generally nervous in character, it stands out for having a large fleshy mass on the tip of its beak. It is appreciated by almost all breeders, and very abundant. There is a wide variety of colors, although the most common is black, with the area of the ocular ring in a creamy white color. Its tail is quite long and pronounced, as well as its reddish legs. It has not been determined that there is sexual dimorphism in the species.
