Budapest Kiebitz
Budapest Kiebitz, also seen in European sources as Budapester Kiebitz, is a Hungarian fancy pigeon developed from domestic rock pigeon stock, Columba livia. Kiebitz means lapwing in German, and in pigeon use it usually points to a cleanly marked bird rather than a separate wild ancestry. It belongs around the Budapest tumbler and color-pigeon traditions, with compact carriage and an emphasis on pattern, head quality, feather condition, and recognized colors such as blue, black, ash red, brown, dilute, grizzle, and checker-based markings.
In the loft it is kept like other small to medium fancy pigeons: dry housing, good ventilation without drafts, bathing water, grit, and a steady grain and pellet ration. Breeders pay close attention to sharp color boundaries and balanced type, because marked varieties can produce uneven offspring even from useful pairs. Anyone buying birds should ask which standard or club the strain follows and whether the family is bred mainly for exhibition, flying, or preservation of a local line.
Colors: Almond, Ash Red, Bar, Barless, Black, Blue, Brown, Checker, Dilute, Dun, Grizzle, Indigo, Mottle, Opal, Pied, Recessive Red, Red, Silver, Splash, Spread, White, Yellow
