Pouter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pouter is a breed of Rock Pigeon, Columba livia, characterized by a very large, inflatable crop. It is kept as an ornamental or fancy breed, valued for its unusual appearance. There are many varieties of pouter with little in common except for the nature of the crop. The origin of the breed is unknown (perhaps Asia?), but Pouters have been bred in Europe for at least 400 years.
