Tippler Pigeon

Tippler Pigeon

The Tippler pigeon is a breed of domestic pigeon. It is raised for participating in endurance competitions. Exact origins of this breed are unknown. But like most other pigeon breeds, this breed has also been developed from the rock pigeon that is endemic to the region between the Mediterranean and China. It is believed to have originated in 1845, near the silk milling towns of Congleton and Macclesfied in East Cheshire, England. Some breeds are believed to have originated from the Middle East, but origins of the Tippler is uncertain. It is thought that, the Tippler pigeon was a cross breed. And it is the result of crossing between the Cumulet and Homing pigeon breed. This cross-breeding was thought to improve the bird’s endurance and allow a larger flight range. It is also proposed that selection for this long-term flying ability helped to eliminate the breed’s progenitor’s tumbling flight behavior. Flying results of up to 22 hours (non-stop) have been reported. Read some more information about the Tippler pigeon below.
