Until today, many peoples are fighting for birds of this species, while trying to prove and confirm their opinion that the Uzbek two-chubby pigeons are a unique species that requires special attention.
Many breeders of various countries, including Uzbekistan, are trying to derive from this species a unique variety of pigeons that will have excellent decorative and flight characteristics.
Today, Uzbek two-tailed pigeons are divided into 2 types:
- birds specially bred for exhibitions;
- winged, with the best flying qualities of all those present in the flock.
In turn, flight pigeons are divided into several subtypes: variegated, colored and belt pigeons. The very same plumage of this breed is unique and very diverse, on the feathers you can often see incomprehensible and intricate patterns. In the photo on the Internet, white pigeons with a black-brown pattern are very often found.

Belt fighting birds are also distinguished by their color, which clearly distinguishes them from others. They often have different colored wings and breasts. We are talking about such colors as: tasman, kuran, nodov, antimony, uds, etc. Also, birds for games and exhibitions differ from others by the presence of a forelock and a unique color of feathers. It all depends on how and where their feathers are located:

The peculiarity of these pigeons is that they have two forelocks. One is located on the beak, and the other on the back of the head. The old-breed pigeons of the Uzbek two-legged breed or the one-legged pigeon are an exclusive that many breeders want to own. According to the standard, such fighting pigeons are found short-billed.

These birds love to swim in the water, especially in the hot season, so there must always be a container with water in the cage so that the birds can take a bath at any time. In this case, it is important to monitor the depth of the container. Pigeons are not stupid birds, they know how to stay on the water and, in principle, cannot drown. But sometimes they can arrange games among themselves, which can end in the death of one of the parties.
The third and most important thing is the health of the pet. From the very birth, it is necessary to monitor the physical condition of the bird, do not forget to carry out constant prophylaxis, give medications, because if you do not have the necessary certificates that the feathered is healthy, then they will not be allowed to the exhibition because of the risk that the pigeon may be contagious. and therefore, accordingly, it can infect others.
