The Old Dutch Capuchine is a breed of fancy pigeon that has been selectively bred over the years to create this pronounced head crest, or parka as I like to call it.
Old Dutch Capuchines, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants from the Rock Pigeon (Columba livia).
Its feathers encompass its tiny head, making it appear as though it’s always dressed for a blizzard.
