English carrier pigeon
This pigeon breed is unusual in many
ways, but perhaps most notable is its
huge eye ceres (of course, not as large
as the Barb!) and wattling around the
beak. Despite what you may think you
know about carrier pigeons and message
delivery, well, that's merely an ancient
part of the breed's history. The breed is
descended from pigeons that were used
for that purpose, but today the English
carrier breed is all show.
English short-faced tumbler
Just as breeders have tinkered with the
size and shape of a pigeon's globe,
they've tinkered with the size and shape
of the whole head. This breed dates
back to the 1700s or older. There has
been a club dedicated to this breed since
1886. According to fanciers, the ideal
for this breed's head is "large, broad,
lofty and round; short as possible from
front to back." The emphasis on short
certainly gives the pigeon an appearance
as if straight out of a cartoon.
Brunner pouter pigeon
Pouter pigeons look much as if they walk
with their chests held high ... very, very
high. This is actually the "globe," or the
inflated crop, and according to fanciers,
"should be round on the Brunner giving
nearly the appearance of a ball on a
stick."
In case you weren't sure about the
shape, "The globe must, I repeat must be
ROUND AS A BALL. Not pear shaped, not
oblong but ROUND AS A BALL." So,
round as a ball. On a stick.
Barb pigeon
The barb pigeon has been around for a
while, dating as far back as the 1600s in
England. Most notable about this pigeon
is the wattling around the eyes and
beak, which can take up to two years to
fully develop into the fleshy flower-like
ring around the eye.
