Budapest highfliers?


Although i am not looking to get any at this time, i was wondering, does anyone still breed performance bupapests? I had a pair when i was in high school. They flew so high that you needed binoculars to see them!

This is more of a breed history question than anything, any help? Dave

telstar12, i think it is because most people have bred them for show. Even as old a book as Levi's is, he mentions they are being bred more for show than flying.
I remember how HIGH they flew! I at least, have not seen others go so high and stay there so long. Dave

Thanks telestar12, but not he breed i am talking about. I am trying to find out if there are still, Budapest high fliers, that are still performance oriented.
I guess people call them budapest short faced tumblers now.
Look the same, but the eyes were not so pronounced. Thanks, Dave

I have one unmated cock. And my friend has a pair of them (parents of the cock). These are the only budapest highflyers I have seen that actually fly in my area. I'm focussing on pakistani high flyers now. I would gladly give you the cock if you lived in Canada as I am strictly pakistani high flyer focussed now.

Thanks! I guess i was calling the breed by the wrong name, it has been at least 40 years! LOL! Lord am i getting OLD! "Levi" called them, (Budapest White Storked tumblers), just looked it up, but they used to be considered a high flying breed.
Am i thinking about those "cute" but bug eyed budapests? Dave
