Seldschuk Pigeon
The Seldschuk pigeon is a Turkish fancy pigeon name associated with regional domestic pigeon keeping rather than a single heavily standardized international show breed. The name points toward Seljuk or Seldschuk cultural geography, and in breed lists it is usually grouped with local forms of the domestic pigeon, Columba livia. Available descriptions are not consistent enough to support narrow claims about one fixed shape or color, so the safest reading is a regional fancy type selected within particular loft communities for appearance, handling, and family line continuity.
Anyone seeking Seldschuk pigeons should ask the breeder which local standard or family strain is being used. Practical evaluation is less about a universal checklist and more about sound body condition, clean feathering, fertility, and whether the birds match the seller's stated line. Housing follows ordinary fancy pigeon needs: dry perches, good ventilation, measured grain, grit, and calm pairing space so scarce local traits are not lost through casual crossing.
