Australian Performing Tumbler Pigeon Characteristics

The Australian Performing Tumbler pigeon is a breed of domestic fancy pigeon. As the name suggests, the breed is from Australia and was developed through selective breeding from original Tumbler Pigeon stocks.

It has been a popular flying variety in the past due to the rolling action, typical to the Tumbler varieties.

Earlier versions of these birds were quite good little performers in the air. Wendell Levi discusses the tumbling performance and several early Tumbler breeds in his book The Pigeon.

But today the breed is maintained mainly for exhibition purpose. And the breed was first developed for the show pen in the State of New South Wales, Australia.

Currently the Australian Performing Tumbler pigeon is a very popular show breed in the Australian States of Queensland and New South Wales.

And largest number of this breed can be found in these areas. A show standard was adopted by the Australian National Pigeon Association in 1991 and has now been upgraded further thanks largely to the efforts of Mr Max Van Geet and Mr Vaughan Kelly.
