Identification help -please?

Hello-hello!

 

I bought this pretty little girl yesterday, and I believe the man stated she was a Standard Flight pigeond, black tigger (tea-gurr?).

 

Since I show my birds at fair, and am currently debating whether I will do showmanship with one of the four I have, (2 White Homers, Mealy Figurita, and this girly), I need to know exactly what everybody is - thus I can make my choice..

SO!

I suppose my question is, is there such thing as a Standard Flight, and if so, does this bird conform to the standards of the Standard Flight?

 

[THE FIFER]

to me it looks like an ordenary SHORT BEAK tumbler, with a crest or tuft on its head.

Thanks for the help - any other thoughts are welcome. It will be a few months (Small Animal tag-day for fair in January) before I can get ahold of the "Bird Man" in our area so I can get his professional opinion.

Looks like a New York flying flight to me.

Look at figure 6 on this page looks just like yours. They are a tight flocking flying breed.

Thanks - I looked up some information on a site I know to be useful - and there was no photo for the bird listed as Domestic Flight... So.. If anyone out there has any birds looking like mine, Black teager and with a crest - please, let me know!

I have to skedaddle for class now - but thank you all for being so helpful!

looks like an "american domestic flight" to me ,

they come with and without crests and dont think there are too many keepers/breeders in this country.

i say this because a guy from london put a wanted advert in the fancy pigeon magazine "feathered world" for this breed in june and when i rang him in late september he hadnt had a single response.

i had a single un crested red pied hen (yellow cock believed to be taken by hawk) which i let him have free of charge.

Thank you homer. The man I bought her from, his wife atleast, has a whole flock, I suppose it would be, that she totes off to shows. The one I bought was one he said his wife said was a good bird - but wasn't what his wife wanted to take in the group she'd been making a list of.
