Racing pigeon colors vary greatly and can be quite fascinating to observe. These pigeons come in a range of different color morphs, each with its own distinct characteristics and appeal. Let's take a closer look at the various color variations found in racing pigeons.
One of the most common color morphs is the blue-bar pigeon. These pigeons have blue bars on their wings, giving them a distinctive appearance. Blue-bar pigeons are widely seen in the racing pigeon community and are often the first choice for many fanciers.
Another popular color morph is the red-bar pigeon. These birds have red bars on their wings, which create a striking contrast against their feathers. Red-bar pigeons are sought after for their unique coloring and are often prized by breeders.
For those who prefer a more solid color, there are red pigeons. These birds are rust-colored all over, with no distinct bars on their wings. Red pigeons stand out with their rich, earthy tones and can be quite eye-catching.
Spread pigeons, on the other hand, are entirely black. These birds lack any noticeable bars or patterns and are known for their sleek and elegant appearance. The black coloration of spread pigeons sets them apart from the more commonly seen blue and red variations.
Lastly, we have the white pigeons. These birds are plain white, lacking any other colors or patterns. While they may not be as visually striking as some of the other color morphs, white pigeons have their own unique charm and are often associated with purity and beauty.
It's worth noting that the color of racing pigeons is determined by the presence of different types of melanins. Melanins are pigments that give color to feathers, and the proportion of black, brown, and red melanin in a bird's plumage determines its overall coloration.
In addition to their colors, racing pigeons are also easily identifiable by the leg bands they wear. These bands carry individual numbers that help identify each specific pigeon. The letters on the band indicate the owner's national organization and local club, while the numbers represent the year the bird was hatched and its unique ID code.
Racing pigeon colors add to the beauty and intrigue of these remarkable birds. Whether you prefer the classic blue-bar, the striking red-bar, the earthy red, the sleek spread, or the pure white, there is a color morph to suit every fancier's taste. These colors, along with the leg bands, serve as distinct markers that make each pigeon unique and easily recognizable within the racing community.

Hello there, My name is Mike and live in Az, I had racing pigeons when I was young and now Im not young haha 61, Semi retired and determined to move to a place where I can fly birds again, want to get my grandkids involved. Anyway as a kid I flew some Sions and really enjoyed your website. When Im ready would love to get a few Sions again and see how they do. Any advice for an old newbie? lol
Hey Donnie, Saw your Birds on Ipigeon and must say, those are some Beautiful Heitzmans. They are very true to what I called the real thing. Beautiful Hansennes as well. Take Care, Chuck
Hi
I have placed the pigeon recieved from you recently in a priority express shipment back to you in same box recieved. Bird was beautiful and healthy but we realized it’s nature is such that it needs to fly and be a racing pigeon. We can’t offer that life to it and realize it was a mistake to try this based on our situation
Bird has had not been outside and has been confined indoors in isolation since recieved.
Please give it the home it deserves.
Appreciate the care you took getting it to us!!!
Need some color on my team. Had some sion couple years ago when i had a partner who sick and could not care for his own birds. He liked sions so i bought some from you on pigeonauction.com. We alot of fun his sions against my team .He has since past on. His family called me and thanked me for letting fly with me he really looked forward race day. HE WON EVERY WEEK
