[2] The English Trumpeter is regarded as one of the most ornamental breeds of fancy pigeon.

The most distinguishing feature of this breed are the very large muffs on its feet, which often grow to sizes close to its flight-feathers.

Combining a tuft, crest and large muffs on their feet, they are challenging to breed.

They are bred in a number of colours which are listed under self, splash and baldhead.

The name is misleading, as this breed as known today as an American creation.
