The Reverse-wing Pouter (German: Verkehrtflügelkröpfer) is a breed of fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding. Reverse-wing Pouters, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants from the rock pigeon (Columba livia).[1] The breed is known for its eye-catching markings.[2]

Origin

The breed originated in Saxony and Thuringia in the early 19th century.[2]
