Hi Jamie, thank you for this lovely contribution to Project Noah! This Helmet Crested Pigeon falls within the normal range of colouring for the species. I have removed it from the rare colour morph mission. I have also added the genus and species information. Here is a nice link to gather more information about this selectively bred pigeon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmet_(pigeon) Thank you and happy spotting!

Nope! Just started flying in my open widow everyday for months. Then, sadly, it disappeared.
