Beak carnation

Common Carnation ( Jean Bungartz , 1922)

The beak carnation is a circular or semicircular spring vortex sitting at the root of the upper beak . If there are no other head structures, the semicircular spring vortex is also called the beak tip .

The pronounced carnation of the Bukharan drum pigeon is called "rose".

Due to the lack of supporting plumage under the beak carnation, so-called "hanging carnations" arise, which are assessed as faults in the respective breed standards. "Stehnelken" are erect carnations due to their very strong substructure. They are also rated as errors in most of the pigeon standards. Exceptions are Uzbek and Chinese bottlenose dolphins .
