    Video - Portuguese Tumbler (smallest domestic pigeon breed in the world)

    Post  Brad on Sat Mar 21, 2009 6:26 pm

    Hey Folks,

    Check out this video of this tiny breed of pigeons. Apparently they are smaller than a Figurita! Looks to be quite small and dainty even if a young bird still. I'd say it's even smaller than a ringneck dove! affraid Very cute little thing though. SmileVery Happy

    Wow! Those are really cute. I am always so afraid for the tumbler/roller breeds though. The hawks and falcons are always after them.

    Hard for me to get a size prospective without a "regular" size pij (e.g. feral or homer) to compare.

    Looks like they have big eyes like the the Budapest Tumblers...

    They are so precious. They have normal looking beaks and should have no trouble feeding their babies like so many of the smaller breeds do. Sweet little faces.

    Hi Shi,

    This appears to be a woman's hand and would be fairly small. I got a better perspective at the end of the video and once the camera panned out a bit more. Smile

    Wow! West of England Tumbler #905-08 (SOLD) looks a lot like my WoeBeGone. Woe has more white but that same coloring (Tortoiseshell, I was told)

    Love and Hugs

    Post  ptlofts on Sun Apr 26, 2009 8:26 am

    Hello.
    Ive made that vid-
    Yes, its a young bird but already with a full size body and I can asure you that he didnt grow more than the
    size on the vid. Ill make a vid comparing one of them with a normal racing homer.

    Hi Pedro,

    Nice video! Very Happy They are very small compared to the other birds! Do they get picked on a lot by the other birds? Maybe they would be better in a separate enclosure if they are. I particularly love the all white bird and the dark coloured bird. Just beautiful! Smile

    I just placed her together with those racing pigeons just for you all have an ideia of their size.
    I keep my Portuguese Tumblers all appart from my other breeds.
