Calm, friendly, affectionate towards humans, low aggression, pronounced brooding and chick-feeding instinct, moderate activity, gets along well in mixed pigeon lofts.
African Owl — one of the most compact and short-bodied breeds of domestic pigeons. A small ornamental breed with a dense, stocky, "cubic" build, a very short neck and a rounded, almost spherical silhouette. Distinguished by an extremely large head with a highly developed cere forming a "facial shield" or "mask," giving an "owl-like" facial expression. Main breed characteristics: giant cere, short body, massive rounded-cubic head, short neck. Bred mainly in solid-color variants (black, red, yellow, white, silver, dun, coffee). Differs from the wild rock pigeon by a shorter and more compact body, a huge cere and a short neck. Differs from the Chinese Owl by a shorter body, a larger cere and smaller stature. Differs from the Mövchen by a shorter body, a massive head and a more developed cere.
