Oriental Turbit Pigeon with Origin Description Size Comment and Pictures Gallery


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.
