EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait showcases the distinctive features of the Blue Carrier Cock Pigeon, one of the oldest English fancy breeds, dating back to the 1880s. The Blue Carrier Cock, also known as the Blue Bar, is a striking bird with its two blue-barred wings, a prominent nostril cere, and tight feathered colouring. The slender, long-bodied bird with a neck that seems to elongate as it stands proudly, displays intricate details that make this breed unique. The Blue Carrier Cock is a homing pigeon, bred for its ability to fly long distances and carry messages. Its history as a messenger bird dates back centuries, making it an essential part of communication networks before the advent of modern technology. This portrait highlights the bird's tight feathering, which covers its body, tarsus, and tail, giving it a sleek appearance. The Blue Carrier Cock's eyes are sharp and alert, adding to its regal presence. The prominent cere, or fleshy area around the nostrils, is a distinguishing feature of the breed. The Blue Carrier Cock's wings, with their distinct blue bars, are a testament to the breed's unique genetic makeup. The tight feathering and barring on the wings are not only visually appealing but also serve a functional purpose, providing insulation and protection during flight. This portrait offers a glimpse into the history of the Blue Carrier Cock Pigeon, a breed that continues to captivate bird enthusiasts and collectors alike. Its intricate details and distinctive features make it a must-have for any avian collection.
