RYŚ POLSKI - POLISH COLUMBIA LIVIA

Ryś Polski - Columba livia type of pigeon

Ryś Polski - Columba livia type of pigeon   is one Poland's oldest pigeon breeds. For centuries this breed has been a part of Poland's natural landscape.  This breed has been characterized with its beautiful silhouette, stable health condition, self-sufficiency. Unfortunately, following various misunderstandings, Polish breed has been modernized by German breeders. As a result of this  hasty modification, not only has it lost the typically Polish and noble silhouette; it has also irretrievably lost its best functional characteristics.

The Polish Association of Pigeon and Small Live Stock Breeders  has launched the "SOS-Save the Polish Breeds" campaign - this resulted in putting the breed at  the official European Federation  list in its old-Polish original form.
