EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the distinctive beauty of four sub-variants of the Flying Tumbler pigeon breed: Black Rose-Wing, Red Rose-Wing, Red-Badge, and Black Saddle. Dating back to the 1880s, this portrait showcases the full-length profile of each variant's unique coloration and markings. The Black Rose-Wing and Red Rose-Wing variants are characterized by their mottled rose-colored wings, with the former featuring a black body and the latter a red body. The Red-Badge variant boasts a red body with distinctive black markings on its wings and tail, while the Black Saddle variant displays a black body with a red saddle on its back. Flying Tumbler pigeons are part of the Columbidae family, and their unique name comes from their acrobatic tumbling behavior during flight. These birds were popular in the Victorian era for their striking appearance and were often kept as ornamental birds. The intricate details of their feathers, from the tips of their tails to the markings on their wings, are on full display in this photograph. The Black Rose-Wing's wings are adorned with a delicate rose-colored mottle, while the Red Rose-Wing's wings showcase a more vibrant rose hue. The Red-Badge variant's wings and tail are marked with bold black lines, and the Black Saddle variant's back is adorned with a striking black saddle. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique features and characteristics of these beautiful and intriguing birds. The Flying Tumbler pigeon breed remains a popular choice among bird enthusiasts today, and this portrait serves as a reminder of their rich history and captivating appearance.
