German also breed some famous pigeon breed. That i have write about german homer pigeon. today i write the a german fancy pigeon that i think is similiar to the Satineete due to the small head relative to its body. The wing color is blue ash with double bar at the midlle of the wing. The remain feather color is white. There are some various of the color such as ash, red, brown, spread, white, and dilutes of same bas color
This pigeon is German owl. it called owl, referring its similarity face to owl. do not imagine the bird face is similar to big eye owl. the owl pigeon does not have big eye.

The bird is just for exhibition only. there is notes for the ability of flying of the bird. They may just have ability like other pigeon too. i believe this bird has no acrobat flying ability like tumblr pigeon.
The bird is descent of the short faced German Shield Owl. Not surprisingly, the face of this German owl also short too. the beak also short. There are some exhibition for the bird there are some judgment.
For example the frill of the plumage is one of the criterion of the judgment. The broad breast is also one judgement for this nice bird. all the part of body is also judgement.
