Depiction
A type of extravagant pigeon created by particular breeding,[1] it has plunged from the Rock Pigeon as with different sorts of tamed pigeons; it is thought to have first been brought into Europe from Tunis, Africa, where the sort began and were initially foreign made into England in the late nineteenth century.[2] They were initially alluded to as "Remote Owls", as a comparable kind of pigeon had as of now been known in England, which upon the importation of the African Owl got known as the "English Owl".[3] The primary contrast between the two sorts of owl was that the African or "Outside" mixture was detectably smaller.[3]
Similarly as with different sorts of "owl" pigeons, the African Owl has a peak of quills running down the front of its breast, which is known as the jabot, otherwise called a tie or cravat.[4] The group of an African Owl is short and full, and the head is smooth and unadorned with harsh plumes. The bill of this breed is short and stout,[2] and it is this mouth which gives the Owl sort their name, being turned down in shape.[3]
Lewis Wright composed in The Practical Pigeon Keeper of the fragile nature of these sorts of pigeons; "Outside Owls require to have their lofts overall ventilated, yet impeccably free from sodden and draft, else they kick the bucket by handfuls: indeed, they are at the best exceedingly sensitive fowls."
