Rock Pigeon

Rock pigeons  typically display 'clean legs'.



Unlike the following with thick feathered legs.


Another with hint of its thickness on the way.


AI Overview:

Rock pigeons with feathered legs (often referred to as "muffs" or "leggings") observed in Malaysia are 
domesticated, fancy pigeon breeds that have escaped or been released, rather than a natural wild species. While the common rock dove (Columba livia) typically has scaled, unfeathered legs, these specific variants carry genetic mutations that cause feathers to grow on their feet.
