The Archangel (Croatian: Arkanđeo) is a breed of fancy pigeon, notable for the metallic sheen of its feathers.
It is kept as an ornamental or fancy breed, valued for its unusual appearance.
The body of the bird is bronze or gold with wings that are either black, white, or blue.
The United States is the only country in which all color forms are referred to as "Archangels".
In Great Britain, only the black and copper colored birds are called Archangels as the black and copper color type was created in Great Britain.
