pouters

Inflated-crop pigeons

Pouters are a breed of domestic pigeon known for their ability to inflate their crop—the pouch in the throat—into a large, balloon-like globe.

Breeders have cultivated this trait for centuries, producing birds with dramatically puffed chests.

The word also simply means people or animals that pout: The kindergarten was full of little pouters after nap time ended.
