Französische Bagdette - Bagadais Francais - French Bagdad pigeons |
French bagdad Origin France. This is the French version of the original Middle Eastern
Bagdad. More than 200 years ago France had six or more varieties of
Bagdads, which probably arose from various crosses with other
French breeds. Today, all but the present type of Bagdad seem to have disappeared.
This Bagdad is also a long bird with hard, tight feathers. As its picture shows, it has long legs and an exceedingly long neck. Its head, eye cares, and beak wattles are more refined than those of its
English carrier and
Moravian bagdad cousins; its tail is carried horizontally; its eyes are pearl, except in whites, where they are dark.
