What's a "Pigeon Rest/breast”?

Apparently according to this
IWM video I'm watching, one of the distinguishing features of the Mk IX Spitfire was a "longer nose with the pigeon rest beginning to disappear"

Also did the Mk I really have a three bladed prop? I thought they were wooden with two blades
