First thing to note in this hobby is to get very good birds from a good old and well known fancier. For that at least you need to know the birds that you need to get from him as all birds cannot be considered from a very good strain. More over many fancier do not share their strains and may strains are just lost With their masters.

The main thing to be seen before taking a tumbler are the head, Beak, neck, Body posture, length of the primaries, and yes off course the eyes.

Head - Normally tumblers have round heads with good shaped foreheads, the forehead looks as if protruded a little bit more when compared to the normal pigeons.

Beak - Tumblers will have a medium or a short beak, the colour of the beak depends on the colour of the bird. The cere will be well formed and round in shape well placed between the eyes and the beak.

Neck - they will normally have a thick neck which is not held too high or too short.The neck and the chest posture will resemble as if held high in pride.

Body posture - The bird totally looks as if carrying the weight on the toes though it stands fully on the feet.

Primaries - tumblers normally have long and well built primaries helping them in their long flights.

Eye - Eye can of any colour and but we prefer birds with pearl eyes or yellow. There can be many other variants too. like the Bull eyes, Pearl with pink shades.

Colours are also a main part of identifying the birds and their breeds in tumbler pigeon which we will look at on forth coming pages.
