PEARL OF DENMARK
APPEARANCE
The Danish Tumbler is an elegant,
slender and rather strong pigeon with a highly carried, full
breast. The form of the head has a regular evenly curved line. The
forehead is long and filled; has no breaking or contracting at the root
of the beak. The beak is long, cone shaped and has a bright, lightly
rose-pink colour. The eyes must lie in the middle of the head, be large,
bright and vivacious with a milky white iris and a very little circular
pupil. The eye rims are narrow and lively red. The neck is long with a
well undercut throat, the breast relatively broad. The back is suitable
broad-shouldered and in parade position sloping downwards the floor,
wings tight fitted and the tail shall be narrow and short. The legs are
relatively long, slightly bent in the heel and always red.

COLOURS
and MARKINGS:
There are about 50 different colours and
markings being bred at the moment. The colours must be deep with
metallic lustre on neck and breast
BREEDING:
The
Danish Tumbler is simply to keep, has excellent breeding qualities, will
enjoy a free fly out and his needs are little. It is mainly bred in
Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden and Norway.
Through modernisation, the original flying skills of these pigeons have been
diminished considerably.
