Frillback


 The Frillback is an ancient breed of pigeon which is supposed to be originated in Asian countries.The speciality of the bird is its curled feathers over body.The flights and tail are only slightly altered and the bird has a strong power of flight.They are best examples for human selection opposite to natural selection as they were converted from ancient Frizzle.
  Even though different colored Frillbacks are present,black frillbacks and white frillbacks are more common.The bird  walk a lot and it love it rather than flying.The curled feather is its main attraction and it makes this bird as one of the cute pet bird.
 
 This breed is not common in Kerala compared to other varieties of fancy pigeons,but some serious fanciers have good collection of frillback breeding pairs.
