The English Long-faced TumblerEE-List of the breeds of fancy pigeons (ELFP) by the Section for Fancy pigeons of the European Association of Poultry-, Pigeon- and Rabbit breeders – Revision 11. June 2012 is a breed of fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding. English Long-faced Tumblers, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants of the rock dove (Columba livia).
This breed is available in both clean legged and muffed (feathered legs) varieties. Due to its short beak it requires foster parents (homing pigeons, etc.) to raise its young. The breed is popular around the world and has continued development particularly in the United States.Seymour, Rev. Colin (Ed)(2006) Australian Fancy Pigeons National Book of Standards.
