Hi can someone tell me what type of Fancy Pigeon this is

Hi just been told it could be a Komorner Tumbler is this true

resembles one but not a good picture -can't see proper shape
lofty

i will try and get a better picture for you ok

if it tumbles then its a kormourner ( my favorite looking tumbler )  if it doesnt its a dutch caphunchine

Its might be a cross, definatley not an old dutch capuchine.

Lloyd

i was told that it does tumble

looks like the ones i had , not so long ago

Then it is probably a komorner cross.

who did you sell then to mate

could well be a kormourner cross , but when you cross them the hood tends to be half a hood at the top , i had one called it arthur  as in half a hood , but crossing them with rollers puts the tumble back in but hard to correct the hood

they went to a guy in Burton Flemining near Bridlington , dint keep his details but Kirky has a few of the Dutch Capuchines

i pick this pair up with these 2 yeaterday for nothing the guy has gone back into racing and had passed these onto me

are they crosses ? the one at back looks like a modena cross tumbler or roller ,i could be wrong tho, its the cresent shape of the bird that suggests modena

im not sure he recons that they are brother & sister

Often when you cross breds the youngsters just look like ordinary pigeons and look nothing like thier parents.

Lloyd

i got them because the wife loved the look of them

well if they dont perform then they be crosses

i will have to wait and see when i let them out which will be a week or so will tape there wings up and let them have a wonder round first

Oldyellow i pm kirky he said that hes just started up himself and when he decide s to part with any he will let me know.

well cant get any better than that , hes got some nice birds

i cant wait mate to see what hes got

Doesn't look like a Kormorner to me from that pic. as the beak looks too long. I had a couple of pairs of Kormornas a while back and flew them out. When the cock shows to his hen it is a delight to watch as he does a sort of spiral tumble. There are many tumbling and non tumbling breeds with the crest so have a look here.

yeah i think your right mate

Sorry forgot to say it's a nice wee bird you have though. The Kormorner is slightly smaller than a roller but stalkier. Th crest is more compact and not as far down the neck as yours. Your one may be a cross with a white dove. Hope it surprizes you and performs well.

Yes all our birds get out to fly, although some just don't want to, the Indian fantails are just happy in the loft/aviary even with the doors open

Aye, had a capuchine once but he didnae want to fly ataw. For me they must be flyers coz that's what their wings are for is it no.

to be honest dunc that's too much for me. Too far away from a flyer but hey chickadee probably don't like what I like and that's the whole facination of the doos. The important thing is we all like the birds for our own reasons and the birds enhance our lives. Long live the birds.
