Pouter
The Pouter pigeons are domesticated varieties of the rock dove, ''Columba livia'', characterized by a very large, inflatable crop. They are kept as ornamental or fancy breeds, valued for their unusual appearance. There are many varieties of pouter with little in common except for the nature of the crop. The origin of the breed group is unknown, but Pouters have been bred in Europe for at least 400 years.

Pigeon Breeds
This is an alphabetical list of pigeon breeds. Pigeons and doves are members of the bird family Columbidae. Doves tend to be smaller and pigeons larger, although this distinction is not consistently applied. The birds listed here are breeds of the domestic pigeon (''Columba livia domestica''). Other Columbidae species (e.g., the domesticated Barbary dove, ''Streptopelia risoria'') have been developed into breeds, but these are generally simple colour variations.

English Pouter
The English Pouter is a breed of fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding. English Pouters, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants from the rock pigeon. A breed with an enlarged crop, their distinctiveness was described by Charles Darwin in ''The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication'' (1868). History William Bernhardt Tegetmeier proposed that the English Pouter originated from cross breeding the old pigeon breeds the Dutch Cropper, Uploper and the Parisian Pouter. Each of these breeds is described in works dating from the 17th century. However, in an earlier account, John Moore suggested that the breed was the result of cross breeding between a type of cropper and horseman (both 18th century pigeon types). Historically, the English Pouter was also called the Pouting Horseman, due to the links with the Horseman breed. The modern breeds of croppers, such as the Norwich Cropper, originate from the English Pouter. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pigmy Pouter
The Pigmy Pouter is a breed of fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding. Pigmy Pouters, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants from the rock pigeon (''Columba livia''). Noted British poultry breeder Sir John Sebright (who later bred the Sebright Bantam) is believed to have first bred the Pigmy Pouter, though the issue is debatable.Holland, Bill. Golden and Silver Sebright Bantams. American Bantam Association: 1980. pp. 2-3 North American reception Although the pigmy pouter has been heralded as a bizarre creature and its popularity has not increased much from its introduction to North American society, it still has a dedicated fanbase gathered together by groups such as the American Pigmy Pouter Club and The Canadian Pouter and Cropper Combine. Its low popularity makes obtaining such a bird a difficult task in North America. However, dedicated breeders have been striving to increase the bird's popularity and make it the most p ...

Fancy Pigeon
Fancy pigeon refers to any breed of domestic pigeon, which is a domesticated form of the wild rock dove (''Columba livia''). They are bred by pigeon fanciers for various traits relating to size, shape, color, and behavior, and often exhibited at pigeon shows, fairs and other livestock exhibits. There are about 800 pigeon breeds; considering all regional varieties all over the world there may be 1100 breeds. The European list of fancy pigeons alone names about 500 breeds. No other domestic animal has branched out into such a variety of forms and colours. Charles Darwin is known to have crossbred fancy pigeons, particularly the Ice Pigeon, to study variation within species, this work coming three years before his groundbreaking publication, ''On the Origin of Species''. Pigeon showing Pigeon fanciers from many different countries exhibit their birds at local, inter-state or national shows and compete against one another for prizes.

Dutch Cropper
The Dutch Cropper is the oldest and largest National fancy pigeon breed in the Netherlands. History As C.A.M. Spruijt points out in his 1929 book ''De Kropperrassen'', the origin of the Dutch Cropper is not very clear. He refers to Ulysses Aldrovandi (1522–1605), who wrote in 1600 about “the great Croppers with muffs at the Batavians” (Holland and Belgium). In English literature the English Pouters came from Holland and Germany. Neumeister describes the Croppers in his first book of 1837. This book was republished in 1876, adapted by Prütz and features colour illustrations including a number of well-known German muffed Cropper breeds, which he called ‘Hollandische Kropf Tauben’. The relationships among the various larger Cropper breeds (Dutch Cropper, Ghent Cropper, Pomeranian Pouter, English Pouter, French Pouter and Saxon Pouter) show a strong resemblance in main breed characteristics. The ancestors of all present Cropper/ Pouter breeds; date to at least 400 years a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
