After improvements by pigeon enthusiasts in the United Kingdom and the United States, peacock pigeons have become more and more erect, their chests appear more plump and prominent, and their heads are tilted back and close to their backs, showing a gorgeous posture comparable to that of peacocks.

When raising ornamental pigeons, which pigeon is best to choose? I personally highly recommend the black soap pigeon, which is an ancient pigeon originating from our country with a long history. Black soap pigeons are all black in appearance, relatively small in size, with a round head, short mouth, and slightly raised nose. They are divided into two types: black grape eyes and golden eyes. These pigeons have excellent memory and can develop habits and even strong conditioned reflexes to fixed feeds, feeding management plans, environmental conditions and calling signals. They can quickly form a close relationship with the people who care for them regularly and learn their words and actions by heart. In addition, black soap pigeons have a strong homing instinct. No matter whether they are released dozens or hundreds of miles away, they always try their best to return to the direction of "home" as quickly as possible, showing a strong sense of returning home. These qualities make the Black Soap Pigeon one of the most highly regarded pigeons in ornamental pigeon breeding.

There are usually two varieties: red gray and black gray. If a pigeon with unicorn feathers is used as a parent, its offspring often show obvious genetic characteristics, which are highly heritable and can often be seen in the next generation of young pigeons.

The Yuanbao pigeon is also one of the easy-to-raise ornamental pigeon species. Its chest is rounded like a ball, and it looks generous and kind. It has a steady gait and is not good at flying.
