Lots of local "speciality" breeds. And of course not just for beauty, or athletics but also perversions like ground roller pigeons who are bred for having a severe movement disorder and only tumble in backflips across the ground instead of being able to fly. Although i guess in the eyes of the breeders this is beautiful and athletic.

Thanks for having another look after the pigeon!

Oh..... wow. I looked them up and I am both amazed and saddened.
