Photo: @Robert Clark | The Scandaroon which was breed by CharlesDarwin was the Bagdotten type imported through France but most likley coming from a stock in Nurnburg, Germany.
The Scandaroon is an ancient breed of fancy pigeon. It has a most distinct beak which is long and curves downwards and a striking red eye Cree. Darwin called these birds #Scandaroon Runts and they caught his attention.
Scandaroon is the Turkish word for Alexander and it is possible that this being an old breed it was used as a message carrier by #AlexandertheGreat in his conquests. This part of Asia is strongly associated with early pigeon breeds.
#Darwin was interested in the extreme types and the German type bird suited him well.
The French have developed their own type which is taller, more upright in stance and slimmer naming it the French Baghdad. So, in three countries fairly close to each other we see how Man has changed the direction a breed can be altered. #Evolutipom #EvolutionaryBiology #SelectiveBreeding @Robert Clark @thephotosociety @ナショナルジオグラフィック @InstituteArtist
