They are beautiful birds, however.

Thank you! Yes, I do love them showable or not. They are nesting now so I should get young from them. I also got a fantail pair and they are pretty as well.

They have the Rosettes on the top of the head. What do you mean by muffs? Before I got them I looked on google images and some books in the library to see if they were in fact Russian Tumblers. You know how some people say a breed when they aren't.

ETA: looking at the standards I now see what you see. They have very small muffs. Maybe the young will look better, who knows. I think they look very similar to the standard photos.
