The Swallow Pigeon is a variety of domestic pigeon breeds with a distinctive marked pattern. This pattern is basically a white pigeon with colored wings and a small marking of color on the front and top of the head. One distinction of swallow pigeons from other pigeons is that the back and shoulders are white and not colored but the wings are colored. This marking forms a saddle or white heart shape on the back.
The Swallow Pigeons size and body shape is that of a basic wild type pigeon sometimes referred to as “common pigeon” or “field pigeon”. Some Swallow Pigeons have been developed with showy feather ornaments. These are mainly feathered feet (muffs) and crests upon their heads.
