Etymology

The term 'pouter' originates from the word 'pout,' which means to protrude or to swell out. This refers specifically to the characteristic behavior of these pigeons, where they puff out their crops to attract attention. The use of the word dates back to the 19th century, as breeders began to specialize in distinctive breeds of domesticated pigeons. Over time, pouters have become popular not just as pets but also in competitive breeding, leading to the establishment of various breeds recognized in pigeon shows. Their unique appearance and behaviors have made them quite admired in aviculture, resulting in a rich history of fair competitions and dedicated breeding practices.
