The Old Dutch Capuchine pigeon is a captivating breed of fancy pigeon known for its distinctive head crest and hood. Here are some fascinating facts about these feathered friends: Origins and History: The Old Dutch Capuchine pigeon was developed in its current form in The Netherlands. Interestingly, its deeper origins trace back to India and the Middle East, where Dutch sailors discovered these birds and brought them back to their homeland in the 1500s. This breed is depicted in some Old Dutch Master paintings from the early 16th century, adding to its historical significance. It remained popular in the Low Countries, as seen in paintings by Belgian artist Henri Voordecker. Queen Victoria even gifted a painting titled “Boy and Girl With Their Pigeons in a Loft”, which prominently features Old Dutch Capuchines, to Prince Albert in 1841. Appearance: The Old Dutch Capuchine pigeon is a small to medium-sized bird. Its body is ideally carried horizontally. Key features include: Well-rounded heads that are broad at the back. Medium-length beaks with a slight curve at the tip. Broad, full breasts that protrude beyond the beak when upright. Pearl-white eyes and fine-textured, flesh-to-red cere. High-set wings, tightly feathered, finishing about 1 cm before the relatively short tail. Bright red legs, with featherless legs and toes. The striking hood/ruff of feathers around the neck, enhanced by elliptically shaped rosettes on either side.
