ABSTRACT

Feral pigeons are domesticated rock-pigeons or homer pigeons, so it has genomic diversity. In this sense, this paper could carry a significance to the geneticists. A survey method was helped to sort out feral pigeons from the rock-pigeons group. Out of 18 feral pigeons, blue colors with bar, checkers, grouse-legged, peak crest and white irises were the highest 7 (38.89%), then ash-red, grizzle, and white each were 2 (11.11%) (Table 1; Figures 1-2). Based on some references, fully dominants were 9 (50%) and recessive 4 (22.22) in feral individuals (Figure 2). Some characteristics were double or triple, so colors and patterns of feral pigeons, both sex-linked and autosomal genes were involved in 10 (55.56%) cases, fully sex-linked was only 1 (5.56%), and autosomal 7 (38.89%) respectively (Table 1; Figure 2).
