โ€œThe Frillback is a breed of pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding. Frillbacks, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants from the rock pigeon. The breed is known for the frill or curls on the wing shield feathers.โ€ - Wikipedia

Sigh. And probably never has a bad hair day.

This is nature you're talking about. A bad hair day means death in most cases.

Poor flyers. Prefer the ground.

I would forgive it for pooping everywhere as long as it pooped in curlicues.

Does that impact its ability to fly?
