The Scandaroon is a breed of fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding.[1] Scandaroons, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants from the rock pigeon (Columba livia). The breed is also known as a Nuremberg Bagdad.[2]
The distinctive characteristics of this breed include a melted-looking face with a droopy beak.
