Mensajera valenciana magaña
The name magaña is derived from the semipalid membrane that surrounds the eye and descends to the angle formed by the two valves of the beak, forming almost a solution of continuity in the corners of said angles and in the membrane or mucosa of the mouth. As it is also the color of the legañas (physiological product of the eye, which in the Limousin language is called magañas) and as the origin of this race of pigeons is from the country where the lemosin dialect has been spoken –Valencia– it seems that from very old it was given this name.
