DUN ENGLISH CARRIER COCK 



Special Prize Winner, National Pigeon Show, Oakland, Calif., 1921, 



Bred by O. B. Lindberg-, Los Angeles, Calif. 



This breed is a very popular one indeed and has a veritable host 

 of admirers. It is a very graceful and proud bird. 



The Pigmy has a small head in proportion to the size of the 

 bird. The eye is well proportioned and is colored in all varie- 

 ties except in the whites which have bull eyes. The cere is fine 

 in texture. A small wattle of fine texture is desired while the 

 beak should be made up of straight mandibles with the upper 

 one slightly overlapping the lower. The globe is rather large 

 and raises well up against the point of the beak. A slight full- 

 ness is shown at the back of the neck which at the front of the 

 globe stands out very full and round.
