Abstract

Since Oriental-frills are an ancient group of pigeon so this is devoted to forecast the patterns of their feather which were created by human through selective breeding? Out of 18 Breast-frilled Pigeons of Bangladesh, 10 were Oriental-frills/Turkishfrills (4 Satinettes and 6 Blondinettes) (22.22+33.33=55.55%), Owls 7(38.89%), and Antwerp Smerle 1(5.56%). In Orientalfrills (so-called in Bangladesh this is ‘Jharna Sartin’) which is actually Brownette is widely common. In Owl Pigeon family Chinese/Whiskered and Polish Owl Pigeon are available. Crosses between Oriental-frills and Owls create lots of mixed-breed which looks excellent. Syrian Turbiteen is basically an Owl (Barbarisi Owl) and was few. Antwerp Smerle is rare in Bangladesh.
