Tippler Pigeon

General Information

Tippler Pigeon These pigeons, known as "Tippler" in the world, are shortened from English in our country and are called "Tip". It is not an indigenous race in our country, it is completely imported. In recent years, it has started to be grown in our country and even in bird markets. The word tippler means "Eveningman" in English. This word is similar to that in the UK, it is also used for people who have made it easy to sip the evening drink. The reason why these pigeons are called evening meals is because these birds can continue their flights at night.

origin
It is known that the origin of the type race is of Asian origin and is based in India - Pakistan. It is a fact that this breed was sent to Europe later, like most of the Asian breeds of pigeons. The famous traveler Marco Polo is among those who witnessed this case in the 13th century. It is known that various pigeon breeds moved to Europe, especially during the 16th century, along the Silk Road route. It is a known fact that Mongolian rulers, with their curiosity towards pigeons, play an important role in this issue. It is believed that the type race was sent to England for the first time through these rulers.

It is known that these pigeons have existed since ancient times in Macclesfield, a small town in the south of Manchester city in England. It is a race obtained in 1875 by crossbreeding of Cumulet and some clandestine species. Type breed pigeons spread from this town, which was known for its silk production in ancient times, to other neighboring provinces. They were especially common in Sheffield. Therefore, Sheffield and Macclesfield Tippler are two famous Tippler types known. Tippler breeders were gathering in the Sheffield animal market, known to exist in the 1930s. This animal market was founded after II. It disappeared with the start of the World War. The Macclesfield Tippler, called "Macs" in Sheffield, was developed by breaking with different breeds of pigeons in order to gain better night flight characteristics. As a result of these breaks, tippler variants with different flight characteristics were developed as show and race birds. Tippies known today were obtained as a result of these breaks.

Type race pigeons are performance birds. In addition to long-term and high-flying flights, it is their most characteristic feature to continue their flights at night. These pigeons can continue their flight very easily within 10 to 15 hours at point height. It is known that they continue their flights for a minimum of 2 hours after dark. They are always sympathetic and friendly with their ability to return to their homes, smart behaviors, quick acclimation and energetic looks. Due to their long volatility, they are released early in the morning for flight.

0.6 hours in the morning is suitable for flight. It is difficult for them to come back when they are blown later. Attention should be paid to good weather conditions during the flight. They are blown hungry at any time. They are allowed to drink water only at 0.4 hours in the morning, 2 hours before the flight. Because after these birds fly, they descend to the ground only because they are thirsty. After coming back to their nests, they are fed once a day in the afternoon. Care should be taken that there are no grains that absorb water in the feed mixtures given. The ideal flight group consists of 5-7 birds. In our country, the type breeders tend to breed this butterfly in order to fly together with the types in order to increase the diver-returning breeds, similar to butterfly and turnip.

They are taken to rest for a minimum of 3 months before the flight season and are not blown. Even during this period, wing feathers are pulled and new feathers are provided. During this period, they feed very well with mineral and vitamin supplements. Their care and upbringing requires care and patience in the same way as in pigeons.

Occasionally, Istanbul and Bursa are similarly found in large bird markets. Doc in Canakkale. Dr. It is known that Türker Savaş has been trying to develop this breed with the breeds he brought from Germany since 2000. In the meeting I held with him, I learned that he increased his flight time to 9 hours.
