Pouters are a type of domestic pigeon known for their unique ability to inflate their crops, creating a distinctive bulging appearance. This characteristic is a result of selective breeding, which has emphasized their puffed-up look. Pouters come in various colors and patterns, making them popular among pigeon enthusiasts. These birds are often showcased in competitions, where their size and puffiness are judged. The Pigeon Fancying community values pouters for their striking appearance and gentle temperament. They require proper care, including a balanced diet and a clean living environment, to thrive as pets or show birds.
