Three Nuns: A Portrait of Fancy Pigeons with Varied Colourations This photograph print depicts three Nun pigeons, an exquisite and ancient breed of fancy pigeon also known as the Dutch Shell Pigeon. The Nun pigeon, a flying tumbler before its development for exhibition, is one of the oldest known pigeon breeds. The breed's name derives from the distinctive hood of feathers that covers the head, giving it the moniker 'Nun.' The Nun pigeon is primarily white, with the hood providing a striking contrast. However, as this photograph illustrates, the breed exhibits a diverse range of colourations. The Yellow, Black, and Red Nuns showcase the breed's variable colourings, making each bird a unique work of art. The Nun pigeon is a beloved breed among fanciers and collectors, with its intricate feathering, detailed markings, and distinctive features. The Yellow Nun boasts a vibrant yellow hood, while the Black Nun sports a glossy black hood against its white plumage. The Red Nun, as its name suggests, displays a bold red hood, adding a pop of colour to the scene. This photograph, believed to date back to the 1880s, offers a glimpse into the rich history of these fascinating birds. The Nun pigeon's origins can be traced back to the Netherlands, where it was developed for exhibition and showcasing its unique characteristics. Today, the breed remains a popular choice among pigeon enthusiasts, who appreciate its history, beauty, and the varied colourations that make each bird a unique masterpiece.
