The turbit has a short and conical beak, with a line of reversed feathers down the breast; and it has the habit of continually expanding slightly, the upper part of the œsophagus. ❋ Unknown (1909)

Perhaps the first pouter-pigeon did not inflate its crop much more than the turbit now does the upper part of its œsophagus, —a habit which is disregarded by all fanciers, as it is not one of the points of the breed. ❋ Unknown (1909)

Perhaps the parent bird of all fantails had only fourteen tail-feathers somewhat expanded, like the present java fantail, or like individuals of other and distinct breeds, in which as many as seventeen tail - feathers have been counted. perhaps the first pouter-pigeon did not inflate its crop much more than the turbit now does the upper part of its oesophagus, -- a habit which is disregarded by all fanciers, as it is not one of the points of the breed. ❋ Unknown (1859)
