[Guest tomo68]

i will try and get a better picture for you ok

[OLDYELLOW]

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

[Guest ljb107]

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

i was told that it does tumble

[OLDYELLOW]

looks like the ones i had , not so long ago

[Guest ljb107]

Then it is probably a komorner cross.

[Guest tomo68]

who did you sell then to mate

[OLDYELLOW]

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

[OLDYELLOW]

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

[Guest tomo68]

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

[OLDYELLOW]

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

[Guest tomo68]

im not sure he recons that they are brother & sister

[Guest ljb107]

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

[Guest tomo68]

i got them because the wife loved the look of them

[OLDYELLOW]

well if they dont perform then they be crosses

[Guest tomo68]

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

[Guest tomo68]

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.

[OLDYELLOW]

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

[Guest tomo68]

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.

[Guest tomo68]

yeah i think your right mate

[Guest Freebird]

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.
