Old German Owl

The Old German Owl is a distinctive and charming breed of domestic pigeon renowned for its unique appearance and gentle demeanor. Originating from Germany, this breed is part of the broader family of fancy pigeons and is particularly admired for its ruffled, or "frilled", feather formation on the chest, which adds to its owl-like resemblance. This pigeon typically boasts a compact, rounded body and a short neck, with a prominent and smoothly curved head that is often accentuated by a broad, distinct forehead. The breed comes in a variety of elegant plumage colors, including white, black, blue, and silver, often with striking patterns that enhance its visual appeal.

Old German Owls are prized in aviculture for their gentle nature, making them excellent companion birds as well as show pigeons. Their calm temperament and friendly disposition allow them to adapt well to captivity, where they thrive under the care of enthusiasts who appreciate their beauty and personality. As excellent flyers, these pigeons also enjoy exercise and are quite capable when given the opportunity to stretch their wings. Dedicated breeders have carefully maintained the Old German Owl's defining traits over generations, ensuring that its sophisticated appearance and charming character continue to captivate pigeon fanciers around the world.
