Appearance

A compact, upright pigeon with a slightly squared chest, smooth slate-gray plumage, darker barred wings, and a short charcoal beak. His head is small and neatly rounded, with one especially bright amber-brown eye that gives him a watchful, officious look. The neck feathers catch a restrained green-purple sheen, while the chest feathers puff noticeably when he becomes emphatic. He holds himself with rigid confidence, chin lifted and wings close to his sides, and his simple open beak makes his expressions read clearly. Clean bold outlines, flat color blocks, minimal facial detail, and a plain everyday animal design keep his stern little presence immediately recognizable.
