EDITORS COMMENTS
This group portrait, dating back to the 1880s, showcases two pairs of exotic and distinctive birds: Pigmy Pouters and Isabel Pigeons. The Pigmy Pouters, with their plump, rounded bodies and inflated crops, are proudly displayed in this image. One Pigmy Pouter boasts a cream-colored body, while the other is pristine white. Their short, curved beaks and scaled feet add to their unique appearance. In contrast, the Isabel Pigeons, named for the Isle de France (Mauritius), are depicted in their resplendent red and yellow plumage. The red Isabel Pigeon boasts a rich, ruby-red body, while the yellow Isabel Pigeon is adorned with vibrant, golden feathers. Their winged silhouettes reveal intricate barring on their wings, a defining characteristic of this fancy pigeon breed. The Pigmy Pouter and Isabel Pigeon are both part of the Columbidae family, which includes doves and pigeons. These birds were popular among fanciers during the Victorian era due to their striking appearances and unique traits. The Pigmy Pouter's crop, which can be inflated to appear larger, was a particular point of pride for breeders. The Isabel Pigeons, with their striking coloration and intricate markings, were also highly sought after for their visual appeal. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of these exotic and captivating birds, showcasing their distinctive features and characteristics in exquisite detail.
