Some users even jokingly compared the creature to something worn by celebrities at the “Met Gala”. One user wrote, “It’s definitely two pigeons under trench coats.” Another joked, “I’m making a pigeon from my memory.”
According to new york post, the bird is actually an English pouter pigeon, a species of homing pigeon that is “the tallest breed of fancy pigeons, some of which reach 16 inches in height”. It is known for being able to inflate its crop—the muscular sac on the inside of its neck.
The English Pouter Pigeon is often referred to as the “supermodel” of the pigeon world because of its striking appearance.
