Safi Green-Neck (White Body)

Among the finest and most valuable of all Safi pigeons, especially when pure. The body is entirely brilliant white with not a single speck or feather of any other colour, and the neck is green with a bluish cast — beginning as a few band feathers and filling out with each moult into a complete band. Iraqi iris, white beak and nails. The longer the bird lives without developing wing bars, the purer it is judged to be and the more desirable for breeding.
