EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to the 1880s, showcases the unique beauty of two Pouter Cock Pigeons, specifically a Yellow-Pied and a Red-Pied specimen, in the intimacy of their coop. The Yellow-Pied Pouter, also known as the Pigmy Pouter, takes center stage with its striking yellow and white plumage, accentuated by the intricate details of its feathers. The Red-Pied Pouter, in the background, boasts a bold red and white coloration. Both of these fancy pigeon breeds are distinguished by their unusual features, most notably their inflated crops. The crops of these birds are not only large but also inflatable, which they can puff up during displays to impress females. The males, like the ones depicted here, have a full, lengthy body and a prominent neck, adding to their impressive appearance. The Yellow-Pied and Red-Pied Pouter Cocks also share distinctive markings and coloration on their faces, with the Yellow-Pied sporting a black mask and the Red-Pied displaying a white face with red ear patches. Their feathered feet, a common trait among pigeons, add to their intriguing appearance. This portrait offers a glimpse into the history of fancy pigeon breeding, showcasing the care and dedication of their keepers in the late 1800s. The Pouter Cock Pigeons, with their unusual features and striking colors, continue to captivate bird enthusiasts and collectors alike, making this photograph a valuable addition to any avian-themed collection.
