The Modena pigeon is a popular breed in pigeon shows across the globe. It’s highly valued for its uniquely soft, round, and beautiful appearance plus striking patterns and colors. As a calm and docile bird, this pigeon also makes a great companion for pigeon enthusiasts looking to keep a pigeon as a pet.
Modena traces its origin to Italy. It gets its name from Modena in Italy-the place it was first bred around 1300 and has been breeding for centuries.
The first Modena was a small and slim performance breed.
Like the other breeds of domesticated pigeonss, the Modena is also a descendant of the rock dove (Columba livia). It is classified as a fancy pigeon breed that was developed after many years of selective breeding. Today, the pigeon is regarded as one of the top exhibition and show breeds due to its beautiful variety of colors and body shape.
It’s important to note that the Modena pigeon has several variations. These include the German Modena, English Modena, and the Triganino Modena.
Modena pigeon is easily recognizable by its exquisite appearance. This average-sized bird has a striking curvy shape that gives an impression of being soft, round, and beautiful. This distinct physical characteristic makes the bird a top show bird.
With its raised wings and puffs out its chest, and high carried tail, this bird presents such a striking appearance that’s not only odd but also lovely.
This pigeon also features a well-rounded head that’s evenly arched with smooth forehead. The color of its eyes can vary from dark color to orange-red or light color. The beak is strong and medium length.
It also has a harmonious neck with its throat cutting out. Its base feathers appear fluffy while the rest appear flat and smooth. Its wings are short.
Modena’s tail is short and closed while its legs are folded and strong. Note that the feet are bare and not feathered like in some other pigeon breeds. Keep in mind that color variation is also present in Modena pigeons, with the two main colorations being Gazzi and Schietti.
The former is pied and features the ghazi color on its head, throat, tail, and even wings while the rest of the body is white. The Schietti-colored varieties are non-pied.

It's the dad in the background and his two little ones, unfortunately the mom died. The dad takes care of the two babies alone, I'm proud of him.

@@HomerBreeder oh sweet babies! I’m sorry to hear about their mama. What a sweet moment to witness and for you to be able to see how the dad(s) step in - beyond the ways they already step in as amazing feeling I’m certain!! Animals are truly beyond any innocence we can define- yes? It’s not their innocence it’s their purity- their abilities to live among one another in ways that don’t promote like humans and family’s fighting lol! Animals want balance and habit and structure and love and respect and fun and joy and peace!!! ❤️
