WILD TYPE: The phrase 'wild type', when used in genetics, simply means the total gene package of an individual which has no mutations. It is a reference point from which geneticists work. In the case of the pigeon, it represents a blue bar bird of normal size, with clean legs, no crest or frill, orange eyes, etc.
