Pigeons - Blue, Black, and White African Owls
A portrait of three African Owls seen pictured inside a spacious indoor area. The African Owl is a breed of fancy pigeon originating from Tunisia. As shown in the illustration, it is known for its short beak, which gives the breed the "Owl" name due to the size and shape. It also has a crest of feathers running down the front of its breast, which is called the jabot, also known as a tie or cravat
