good dooer Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 I’ve been enjoying the racing pigeon chat and videos. So thought I’d retaliate with some of my Iranians. Just something different to watch during the lockdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyleakin Lofts Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Good videos. Do they just fly in tight circles or do they tumble / roll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

good dooer Posted June 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Good videos. Do they just fly in tight circles or do they tumble / roll? I have not had them that long (a couple of years). Apparently they tend not to tumble until they are at least a year old. Some of the birds that are in their second year are starting to do very quick single tumbles without loosing height. They rise a Metre or so above the kit when going into the wind and tumble backwards right back in again. The younger birds just put their wings up vertically and drop out of the sky. I'm hoping they will get the hang of it soon. Sometimes a few birds just break away from the kit and put in a few very quick single tumbles and spins.

Kyleakin Lofts Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 When I was younger I had tumblers and fantails. The local touters kept catching them until I learned that mine were flock birds and not to be flown like the touters. I loved watching them high in the sky tumbling and rolling down then climbing back up. I never trained them to be competitive, didn't even know about the competitions.

paddymac Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 I have a few pair of German Owls and a few garden fantails, just nice to sit and watch them picking about in the grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
