Summary
[edit]_(12340316335).jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | I first thought this pigeon was doing some form of a courtship dance, which surprised me, as most pigeons puff up their chests and do deep throated kookookookoo gurgling sounds during courtship, I realized later that this in actually a Fan Tailed Pigeon, a species I was seeing for the first time. The Fantail is a popular breed of fancy pigeon. It is characterised by a fan-shaped tail composed of 30 to 40 feathers, abnormally more than most members of the pigeon family, which usually have 12 to 14 feathers. The breed is thought to have originated in India, China or Spain. There are several subvarieties, such as the English Fantail, the Indian Fantail, and the Thai Fantail. Charles Darwin used it as one of the examples in the first chapter of On The Origin Of Species. (Butterworth, Penang, Nov. 2013) |
