EDITORS COMMENTS
This group portrait showcases the unique charm of Short-Faced Bald-Headed Pigeons, a breed that was popular during the 1880s. The image features four individually distinguished birds perched inside their cozy coop. The Blue Short-Faced Bald-Headed Pigeon, with its iridescent blue plumage and white bars, is positioned at the center, drawing the eye with its regal presence. To its left, the Red Short-Faced Bald-Headed Pigeon stands proudly, its vibrant red and black feathers adorned with distinctive white bars. The Black Short-Faced Bald-Headed Pigeon, with its sleek black feathers and white barring, adds a touch of elegance to the scene. Lastly, the Yellow Short-Faced Bald-Headed Pigeon, with its golden yellow feathers and black bars, completes the quartet. Short-Faced Bald-Headed Pigeons, also known as Tumblers or Columba livia columba, are part of the Columbidae family and are known for their distinctive bald heads and short faces. The breed was particularly prized for its unique appearance and was a popular addition to Victorian-era aviaries. The intricate detailing of their feathers, from the subtle coloration to the distinct barring, is on full display in this charming illustration. The Short-Faced Bald-Headed Pigeon's body structure is also noteworthy, with plump bodies, rounded tails, and broad wings that allow for excellent flying abilities. This group portrait offers a glimpse into the history of these fascinating birds and their place in the avian world during the 1880s.
