A few pics of some of my first young Parlor Tumblers of the year.

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....

They're pigeons but they don't look like any tumblers I ever owned.

Yes those are parlor tumblers, or roller.

Parlor dont fly, just flip or roll on the ground.

Parlor Tumblers are so cute, I love them.

Great link, thank you yardbird tx! I have a couple or three more questions, if you don't mind....

Are these solely domesticated birds, or do they also live in the wild?

I'm assuming the normally walk, and tumble/roll when taught?

Ever been to the Upper Crust Bakery or Eeyore's Birthday Party in Pease Park?

They are totally domesticated. They would not last one night in the wild. They love to walk around in the yard and get sun and stuff to peck at. But when there brain say to fly they just tumble or roll.
For this reason they are keep in small cages. Like the ones people use for rabbit hutches. I have a cage for each breeder pare and another cage for young birds.

I hope to have some video posted on the net soon of my setup and the birds doing there thing.

What beautiful birds! And a very pretty little girl, too!

I looked at the "karate chicken" clip-

Do you know anyone that has any parlor tumblers for sale that would be willing to ship to Oklahoma? I have been looking for some time with no luck.
Thank you!
