Unpigmented spots on a pigmented background of feathers or hair can occur on any dove color variety. This condition is often referred to as pied, caused by a different gene, and is not the cross-breeding of white and any other shade. Pied bills are typically black-eyed, with beaks varying from light to dark. For example, this black-eyed white ringneck is pied-colored with random white patches. Wild colored birds have a white and dark brown body, tail, and wings.
