Steinheim Bagdad | wattle pigeons ( Steinheimer Bagdette )

Steinheimer Bagdette - Bagadais de Steinheim - Steinheim Bagdad

Origin: Germany. This little-known breed is said to have arisen from free matings of the French and Nuremberg Bagdads with native pigeons from the vicinity of Great and Little Steinheim near Frankfurt (on Main), Germany. The inhabitants of this region raised them for squabs for table use and only since the 1920’s or possibly somewhat earlier have they become an exhibition bird as well.
