ABSTRACT

To know the evolution of tumbling styles of pigeons, some top tumbler-roller pigeons need to assess minutely during flying or performing on the ground. Experiences, videos, images, and oral communication with some successful tumbler-roller breeders encouraged to write this exceptional topic. Out of 9 top tumbler-roller pigeons in the world (7 breeds of Bangladesh), 7 breeds showed dorso-ventral tumbling in the sky, and 2 breeds showed rotating flying with rolling both in the sky and on ground. Among these, 6 breeds were noticed as rollers (ball-type, fast, and consecutive somersaults) and 3 tumblers (single or twice somersault). Selective breeding was the precursor to produce different types of tumbler-roller pigeons in different places of the world.
