Cool Facts about Pigeons

There may be as many as 28 pigeon color types, called "morphs," but Project PigeonWatch groups them into just seven morphs.

Checker: If a pigeon has a checker pattern on its wings it is called a checker. Checkers can range from very light gray with only a few black checks, to very dark with only a little light-gray still showing. Some checkers have wing-bars; some do not.
