Shakhsharli, are they the most beautiful and unique breed of pigeons? In my opinion it is by far the most stunning breed there is today. There are many different unique names for the Shakhsharli pigeons around the world for example in Iran it is called Shirazi pigeon because of a town called Shiraz, in Turkey it's called Saksarli, and lastly in Lebanon it is known as Shaik. The meaning of the Shakhsharli pigeons is "overdressed with beauty." This breed comes in four original colors black, blue, yellow, and red. This breed has many different features, than other breeds for example the three patches of color on its head. One patch on the top of the head, which is called a “skull patch”, and the last two at each cheek, called "cheek patches." A Shakhsharli heads are averagely large, and round. Their eyes should be black or a dark brown, but sometimes you will receive a pearl, or red eye which is do to mixing breeds. The main importance when receiving a shakhsharli pigeon is its marking. This breed should have a white head and neck to the breast line forming a V shape. It also should be white to a line at the shoulder.
