Abstract
Five cases of non-genetic partial melanism were observed in adult female domestic pigeons. One similar case was observed in an old male hybrid (Zenaida x Zenaidura) dove after it became unable to fly. Two physiological conditions, slight exposure to sunlight and enlargement of the parathyroids, were known to be associated with all of these six cases of melanism.
