Perhaps a German Nun ?? There will be some members along who can positively identify the breed. It's a gorgeous bird!

Hi PE,


Very pretty one!

Post some side views - it wil make identifying them a lot easier since most of the distinctive traits of various Breeds are more conspicuous from the side than form the low front.


Might be a 'Mookie'...

I was thinking the same I was torn between Nun, Helmet or Kormoner Tumbler but the tumbler wins.

Thanks

PigeonElite, Norwich-guy is right... This is a Komorner Tumbler, certainly not a real young one. No guess's on the sex.... They are a wonderful breed of Pigeons. Lv Them, Happy

Glad you found out the breed, Pigeonelite!

Personally, I call him "pretty bird!"

It does look closest to being a Komorner tumbler. Cute bird, no matter!
