Jacobin Pigeon – Native to India.

That is one fancy bird! Characterized by a large hood and mane of feathers that flares out from its neck and over its head, the Jacobin pigeon is a domesticated bird bred primarily for show. Named after the Jacobin order of monks who date from 1100 and were known for their distinctive hooded habits, their stylish feathers are sometimes called a cowl or muff.
