Serbian Highfliers and other highfliers

[wonword]

Does anybody have any experience with these? I like the little cap they have, but growing up i was taught that the best highfliers are regular type with muffs, caps, tufts, etc. (like Iranian Highfliers and tipplers) and pearl eyed(which most serbians i have seen are). How long have you flown them for, and do alot of breeders in the US actually breed them for endurance and height?

Also, I was wondering the same thing for different types of highfliers, like Galacian, Polish, etc. As I see them on eggbid.com right now.


Thanks,
John

I have a serbian high flier cock I was gifted once. Mated with a Pakistani high flier hen he gives youngs flying around 8 hours.

Have had better luck with Pakistani high fliers, giving times up to 16 hours. They are solo fliers unlike tipplers, but if you could make them kit I am sure you could get more time out of them. Also they land when they feel for it, and are not trained to land on a signal like tipplers.

I think you meant to say without muffs, caps, tufts?

Really, they are solo fliers? For some reason I thought they were kit birds. Im kind of looking for solo highfliers as my new loft will only have a small section for highfliers, the rest will be Thief Pouter orientated. Yeah, I was taught that the best highfliers are without muffs, caps, tufts.

Well atleast my birds fly solo most of the time. I can release 10 birds who will kit, but the kit splits too often. Also they will stay right above the loft, while tipplers seem to rake and kit better.

My SERBIAN Highfliers all fly in kits. Average flying times are 4 to 10 hrs.

I never had experience with Serbian high fliers. But i had at one time Russian high fliers. i bought about 20 of them they were in a couple cages in a NJ pigeon store. I've never seen them i bought them waited the 2 months before i let them out. I got to see 3 hooks an they were gone. They got into the pins an disappeared. I can vouch if all Russian high fliers are this good but these birds were awesome. Now i breed tipplers and danish tipplers. I fly stocks of 20 and bigger. But tipplers are known to fly in kits of 3 competition flies are 3-6 bird kits. I usually get 5-7 hours without any special food or training. But when I fly them in small kits I can get 10 hours easy

I got hold of an Serbian high flier hen, will mate her to the Serbian cock, and see what the young do.


Also got a pair of Yugoslavian high fliers, anyone heard of these ?

Here is a pic btw:


they look like the Serbian high fliers, but are much bigger in size.

No those birds are still Serbian high fliers. I have some of those also. My experience with those is that the wind seems to blow around more than my smaller breed.

oh cool.

So these are also Serbian? They are almost twice as big as the Serbian high flier pair I have. Can you give me some more info on these big birds, do they fly well, how long do they fly, and so on... Will test their young in spring.

thank you.

Hi I live in Australia Melbourne I have asked in the petshop n all to my friends about Pakistani tipplers n nobody knows nothing about them here. I `v seen several videos in youtube but couldnt get any inforamation about their standards etc.is there a standards of Pakistani Tipplers how can we tell them ,how many tail feathers they should have,eye color I `v seen in youtube all colors i think it doesnt matter,Do u know urself whats the standarts of them? any website about standards of Pakistani tipplers in the internet? If u do can u plz write it to me at highflyingpigeons@yahoo.com thnx.

Hey highflyers,


I don't really know if there is a standard for the pakistani high fliers. They come in several colors, but the white ones are preferred due to the fact that they stand the hot weather with the sun shining all day a lot better than other colored birds like black. There are many lines and you can tell what line a pigeon is from by looking at its colors and other traits, but of course many of the pigeons might be mixes too. I have seen 12, and 10 feathers in my pigeons, and I heard there are some with 8 too.


As with most of the performing breeds, the appearance in pakistani high fliers comes second, what matters most is how well the birds perform.

They r same but different blood here in Australia I use to have them but bcoz of they r big n slow fliers hawks n falcons get them so easy on the air while flying after I get rid of them,we have too many falcons n hawks down here.
Same as Danzig highfiers hawks n falcons get them so easy bcoz of their size n style of their flying is very soft.

Hi,
bird on this picture is Serbian High flyer 'Niski strain'.
They fly 4-8 hr's, and they are 'huge' for High-Flyers.
There is at list 8 'Strains' that I know about.
Different exterior and different flight each one.
More strains are created but not yet recognized.
They are some that are show birds more that flyers.
Two strains on occasion produce bird that are rolling to:'Karaburma', 'Bulbuder'.-"Beogradski" (not encourage)
'Panchevacki' they do have more round bigger head.
'Zarkovacki' are fames with they beauty.
'Zemunski" are long flyers, but they go in and out of hight.
'Smederevski"
'Kragujevacki'
Sincerely
Bojan Mihailovic.

Thanks for the info, but I no longer have these birds. I tried to breed and fly the youngsters but had no luck. 3 months of training, and I hardly got them flying for an hour. Just had no patience to keep going I still do have another serbian strain though, much smaller in size, and easier to fly.
