The French Mondain is a breed of fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding.[1] French Mondains, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants from the rock pigeon (Columba livia). The breed was originally developed in France as a utility pigeon.[2] It was popular in America as a squabbing pigeon around the early part of the 20th century, The American Pigeon Journal published a special issue to it on July of 1917.
American and European styles
[edit]
The French Mondain is available in two different styles. The American and European French Mondain are actually different breeds that share the same name.[2]
Mr Pieter AH Du Toit of Southern-Africa is currently the owner of the World Champion French Mondain Pigeon called Mufasa, who won the International Pigeon Award in Brussels, Belgium, in 2010; he is commonly known as the top breeder and expert of this breed across the globe. [2]
