Defining a "Solid White" 

For the purpose of the White Dove Classic, we define the term Solid White as any bird that has 100% completely white feathers. This includes the head, neck, breast, body, back, rump, tail, shoulders, wings, flight feathers, or feathers on legs (grousing or boots).

If the bird has any grizzle coloration (red, grey, blue or black) on any part of its body (head, neck, flight feathers or tail) it will be deemed as a Grizzle and placed in The Grizzle Race accordingly.

Eyes, Beak, Legs or Toenails may be any color.
