The Königsberg Colourhead (Template:Lang-de) is a breed of fancy pigeon developed in the mid-18th century in Königsberg, East Prussia, from which it gets its German name. This breed of pigeon is well known in Russia because Königsberg is now a part of Russia, and is known as Kaliningrad.
General Impression
The Königsberg Colourhead comes in the colours black, red, white, yellow, and blue.
They resemble the gull, but have more interesting feathering; their rudders and heads can be of any of the above colours. Pigeons of this species have perfect body posture, lordly air and high carriage.
Flying
They are mostly kept as fancy (show) pigeons, but with regular training they can be taught to fly well.
Keeping
Keeping and breeding requires care. The breed is brevirostrate, which can cause difficulty in breeding and keeping. A good breeding program requires foster parents - medium-beaked and long-beaked pigeons with good chick-nurture qualities.
