The young and the restless

[Hokum Coco]

I have never heard of a Parlor Tumbler until now! Can you give some details on these gorgeous birds of yours? Please?

I'm still trying to figure out if they are pigeons or doves....

The difference in my opinion is similar to the comparison of a horse to a donkey. Where the fine line really is drawn I have no facts to back up other than our own experiences.

Ring neck doves for example and the like that coo and do "NOT" vocalize in the same manner as pigeons we refer to as doves (they are usually much smaller and not as muscular as the pigeon).

Fanciers on the other hand would dispute scientific findings.

I scratch my head every time I hear of parlour rollers or parlour tumblers I just do not get it???

In my opinion they are pigeons or rock doves and at risk of offending anyone I will keep my opinion to myself. The clip should say it all.


Here is a clip of champions in action most are flightless or very poor flyers at best and subject to crashes and injury.
