The Saxon Monk is a breed of fancy pigeon. Saxon Monks, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants from the rock pigeon (Columba livia). Originating in Saxony, these birds come in blue, black, red, yellow, and silver – all with white bars on their wings. The breed is mainly raised for show or ornamental purposes, but they also make decent pets.
