Taqlaji pigeon origin description size ornaments colors comment and pictures gallery



Origin: The Middle East, presumably Syria. It is named for Saint Thaqlah. It was imported to the United States in 1954 from Damascus, Syria, by Sam M. Shadeed, of Jacksonville, North Carolina.

Description: A flying breed which does not tumble. It is a neat bird, with fairly tight feathering and of good flying type.

Size: Small, average weight about 13 ounces.

Ornaments: It is clean-legged, with a small, tight shell crest and a small mane. Reds and yellows also have a beak crest or nasal tuft.

Colors: it is bred in black, blue, red, and yellow. The plumage is colored with white flights and tail and a white patch starting at the eye and extending backwards and across the top-skull to the other eye and to the crest.

Comment: This is an attractive flying breed, but has not as yet become popular in the United States.

Seven steps must follows for Pigeon growing:
The requirements for pigeon breeding are simple, but they must be followed to be successful. There should be no relaxing or neglect at any time, for it is much easier to prevent trouble than to eliminate disease, parasites or vermin once these have occurred.
1. A dry house with the inside protected from rain or snow.
2. Separate houses for mated pairs and odd birds.
3. A flypen, if the breed requires one that dries out easily.
4.  A suitable feed ration protected from contamination.
5. A suitable mineral ration protected from contamination.
6. Water suitable for human consumption protected from contamination.
7. Suitable nesting materials.
If any one of the seven is neglected, trouble of some sort will eventually occur.
