- n. The name of a city in Belgium, used to distinguish a breed of domesticated pigeons having a large, massive head and short, stout beak with a small wattle at the base. They are bred in a variety of colors, but silver, silver-checkered, “creamies,” and black are those preferred. These birds fly well and have a strong homing sense: during the Franco-German war they were used for carrying despatches.
