the italian owl is one of the many breeds of fancy pigeons developed over years, often decades, of selective breeding. like other breeds of fancy pigeons, italian owls are descendants of the domesticated rock pigeon ("columba livia"). italian owls are noted for their proud horizontal stance, relatively small size compared with many other fancy breeds, broad and rounded breast that displays a prominent chest frill, a somewhat flat head that is rounded at the front and back, a rather short tail, and orange eyes unless a bird is white or pied, in which cases the eyes are "bull" (black). healthy italian owls are perky birds that stand on their toes and give the appearance that they are ready to spring forward. the breed is represented in the united states by the valencian figurita and italian owl club (https://sites.google.com/site/figuritaanditalianowlclub/), and in germany by the sonderverein der züchter italienische mövchen (http://www.italienische-moevchen.de/index_website.html). italian owls are bred in many beautiful colors. these include blue, silver, red, and yellow in the major three patterns of check, barred and bar-less; recessive reds, yellows and whites (these recessive birds are completely red, yellow or white and have no pattern); spread blacks (completely black birds); pied in the major colors and in various patterns; gold-collared birds in the major colors and patterns; grizzle; and almond, andalusian and indigo. photographs of the breed in these various colors and lists of breeders can be found at the speciality club web sites.

the neck of a bird is composed of 13–25 cervical vertebrae enabling birds to have increased flexibility. a flexible neck allows many birds with immobile eyes to move their head more productively and center their sight on objects that are close or far in distance. most birds have about three times as many neck vertebrae as humans, which allows for increased stability during fast movements such as flying, landing, and taking-off. the neck plays a role in head-bobbing which is present in at least 8 out of 27 orders of birds, including columbiformes, galliformes, and gruiformes. head-bobbing is an optokinetic response which stabilizes a birds surroundings as they alternate between a thrust phase and a hold phase. head-bobbing is synchronous with the feet as the head moves in accordance with the rest of the body. data from various studies suggest that the main reason for head-bobbing in some birds is for the stabilization of their surroundings, although it is uncertain why some but not all bird orders show head-bob.
