Great pics and beautiful birds in the pics and interesting as a study of the differences even among HighFlyers. The birds in the pics are lovely and look more 'Donek' Higlflyer type. Though Doneks have a crest usually.
Again the difference between and Tipplers are quite significant.
Those in the pics below have bigger/rounded heads and longer beaks to the Tipplers.
From what I remember of some of the Highflyers we had in Sri Lanka they were smaller bodied and smaller heads, tumbler like.
The Budapest Tipplers, that a friend of mine has, is a smaller bird which is 'tight' feathered and white eyes and with small - tumbler like - 'feminine' head.

I will wait for some more comments, have some interesting information on these birds to share.

 

[aussie highflyer]

Is the intrigue necessary? How about just posting. Or perhaps..."I have much more to say but I will wait until the wind changes direction...!"

 

[Ananth_Tvli]

Lol.... these are recognised as Tipplers here in South India. The bird which is looking to the right holds the world record for the longest duration on air at 23:29 hours and the other bird flew 22:39 hours. Both are/were owned by a person in Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, India. People don't call them HFs but.

 

[aussie highflyer]

WOW ANATH that is incredible and worth the wait for the explanation. I am happy to stand corrected. As I said..... beautiful birds!!
Tipplers eh!! Are they English Tipplers?
WHAT A RECORD!! They must be 'smaller' than they appear in the photos. Would be interesting to read about the breeding and bloodlines in these birds.

Hi Ananth,
Beautiful birds indeed!
The birds in pics resemble Madrasi HFs. Not pure but crosses between madrasi and (maybe) common Indian HF,appear to me.

 

[Ananth_Tvli]

But can the HFs fly so long?
And people call them Tipplers here. English Tipplers, they say, are a totally different breed.

Aussie HF - I will share the info related to bloodline and breeding as and when I get to know them. As of now I am too equally curious as you are.

 

[Jass SamOplay]

Pl post few pics of your birds and pl elaborate on the characteristics of a Malawii HF like what distinguishes this breed from other HFs...

Malwaii HFs are bit smaller in size than Giribaz HFs commonly found here in North India. But they have longer feet fingers than other highflying breeds comparative to their size. Their built is lean and sturdy.
Pure breds are very hard to resettle to a new loft. They are made that way to not to mix with any other pigeons when let free in competitions. They fly in low skies at home but when put in competitions they go high in the skies but are required to stay in the skies where they're released until the competition wraps up. They know only to fly and fly and don't drop even when droppers/cheekos are shown,this is their weak yet desirable point.

Beautiful pics Jass. What amazing birds! Sadly I am certain that there are absolutely NO Malwaii HF's in Australia. Sad as I would love to have some. I might have to settle for Serbian, Doneks, Iranian HF's or Budapest or English Tipplers.

 

[Ananth_Tvli]

The birds that I have are much smaller in size compared to these pics. They seem to have a bigger wing span. I will post few pics later today.

 

[Jass SamOplay]

Thanks aussie flyer. Glad you liked them!
Wow!you have so many varieties of them highflyers with you.


Hey Ananth! Your welcome with your pics

Breeds as such are considered low flyers, tho they'd go high in altitude but cant be considered a high flyer. Like homers,they are capable of going very high but arent actually high flyers. We have a breed in Pakistan called 'patti' valey who r considered low flyers. The time duration of flying in race can exceed 11 hours but in temperature up to 50 degreesC, thats very hot. Which means they can obviously fly more then 20 hours in cool temperature and they have very good homing intelligence and fly high and low but must be in sight during race like of the tipplers . Temperature is a very important info ppl dont mention around the world which i have a big prblm with. They'd tell the results of there birds but not the temperature they were flown in. Now the tipplers they r very much like the Patti valey from Pakistan.Like they can fly for long hours,they both have great homing instinct they go high and low, they have very much of same eyes considering all the different coloured eyes and amazingly all the rules for a Tippler race is exactly same as the race of Pakistani Patti valey race.

So my point here is tipplers r not high flyers bcause high flyers can go and stay so high in altitude that they cant be seen. Still if u find them flying in the sky and jus as u look smwhere else for a second and look back up yu wont find em easily. Now thats a high flyer. In Pakistan they can fly more then 13 hours in temperature reaching up to 50 degrees C. So u can imagine how long they can do in cool weather.

malvaye are not actually high flyers.

What are the differences between Tipplers and High Flyers?

There are a few threads in this forum and in other forums and websites but each one of them seem to have a different ending. Some of them conclude that they are both one and the same - different terms but same breed. Nothing is conclusive. I've been interacting and debating this with few fanciers (some of them are members of this forum) but now I am so confused that I thought it would be best to start the debate all over again with wider participation.

Request the members to post your views and lets try to have a firm outcome this time.

helpful Regards

Aussie highflyer has raised both the breeds - this proves that they are two different breeds. Tipplers fly long durations (longer than HFs), are smaller than HFs and cannot reach great heights like a HF. We have 3 points to differentiate between the two breeds.
