Danish Suabian
The Danish Suabian is a breed of fancy pigeon, developed over many years of selective breeding.[1] Danish Suabians, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants from the rock pigeon (Columba livia). The breed comes in silver, blue, ash yellow, ash red, black, red, yellow, and brown barred and is either plain-head or peak crested.
