English Long Face Tumbler
The English Long Face Tumbler is a breed of fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding. English long face tumblers, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants from the Rock Pigeon.
This breed is available in both clean legged and muffed varieties. Due to its short beak it requires foster parents to raise its young. The breed is popular around the world and has continued development particularly in the United States.

Before you buy any pet
- Ask for the vaccination card and match the dates against the animal's stated age.
- Ask to see both parents if the seller is a breeder. A refusal is an answer.
- Video call before you travel. Ask the seller to walk around the animal on camera.
- Never pay a deposit to hold an animal you have not seen in person.
