The Budapest Highflyer (also known as Poltli and Budapest Coloured) is a breed of fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding.[1] Budapest Highflyers, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants from the rock pigeon (Columba livia). The breed is the most popular in its native Hungary.[2]
