Origin:
Said to be Asia Minor in the area of Brusa, a vilayet of Turkey, After its introduction
into England and Germany it appears to have been crossed with the Owl and the English
Turbit. Caridia, in Fulton & Lumley (1895), called it an Owl.
Description:
An exhibition breed of the general appearance of a saddle marked Owl or a
Turbit without a crest.
Size:
Small, average weight about 8 to 10 ounces.
Ornaments:
It is lain-headed and clean-legged, with an Owl like beak. It should also have
a neck frill placed like that of the Turbit.
Colors:
The entire plumage is white except for wing saddles which are always colored
and the tail, which may be white or colored. The 1893 standard of the Oriental
Frill Club of England provides for colors in black, dun, blue, silver, red, or
yellow, and for checkered or cream.
Comment:
The breed is very scarce in the United States.
Seven
steps must follows for Pigeon growing:
The requirements for pigeon breeding are
simple, but they must be followed to be successful. There should be no relaxing
or neglect at any time, for it is much easier to prevent trouble than to
eliminate disease, parasites or vermin once these have occurred.
1. A dry house
with the inside protected from rain or snow.
2. Separate
houses for mated pairs and odd birds.
3. A flypen, if
the breed requires one that dries out easily.
4. A suitable feed ration protected from
contamination.
5. A suitable
mineral ration protected from contamination.
6. Water suitable
for human consumption protected from contamination.
7. Suitable
nesting materials.
If any one of the seven is neglected,
trouble of some sort will eventually occur.
