Aachen Lacquer Shield Owl
The Aachen LacquerShield Owl (German: Aachener Lackschildmövchen) is a breed of fancy pigeon
developed over many years of selective breeding. Aachen Lacquer Shield Owls
along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons are all descendants from the
Rock Pigeon (Columba livia).
Australian Saddleback Tumbler
The Australian Saddleback Tumbler is a breed of fancy pigeon
developed over many years of selective breeding.[1] Australian Saddleback
Tumblers, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all
descendants from the Rock Pigeon (Columba livia). As the name suggests, this
breed is an Australian creation and was first recognized as a breed in 1917.
The breed is usually muffed (feather-legged) but a
clean-legged variety does exist. The name of the breed derives from a
distinctive saddle-shaped marking on the back. The marking on the head can be
either a stripe (most common) or a spot. Australian Saddleback Tumblers can be
shown in any color, but some of the more common are black, red, yellow, blue,
silver, almond, and andalusian.
Australian Performing Tumbler
Origin
This breed of pigeon was developed through selective
breeding in Australia from originally imported Tumbler Pigeon stocks.[1] The
APT has been a popular flying variety in the past due to the spinning/rolling
action typical of the Tumbler varieties. Wendell Levi discusses the tumbling
performance and several early Tumbler breeds in his book The Pigeon.[2] Earlier
versions of the APT were quite good little performers in the air. Nowadays
however the breed is maintained mainly for exhibition purposes having first
been developed for the show pen in the State of New South Wales. The APT is a
very popular show variety in the Australian States of New South Wales and
Queensland, where the largest number of breeders of this variety can be found.
A show standard was adopted by the Australian National Pigeon Association in
1991 and has now been upgraded further thanks largely to the efforts of Mr Max
Van Geet and Mr Vaughan Kelly
Description
The APT is medium faced, pearl eyed, clean legged and quite
reminiscent of the old style English Long Faced Tumbler as seen in Levis book.
With its nicely rounded head, short cobby body and its available selection of
classic tumbler colors such as recessive red, kite and almond, the APT is an
attractive specimen to see in the show pens. A quiet variety that is able to be
used as a foster parent for other breeds increases the APT's usefulness.
