Breed of pigeon

The Stargard Shaker (German name: Stargarder Zitterhals, French name: Trembleur de Stargard), also called Zitterhall (German: Zitterhals, sg. 'trembling neck pigeon', Zitterhälse, pl. 'trembling necks'), is a breed of fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding.[1] Originally developed in Pomerania.[2] Zitterhals have curved swan-like necks that tremble or shake in a way similar to Fantail pigeons. A Zitterhals pigeon was one of the champions at the 2007 NPA Grand Nationals.[3]
