The English Short-Faced Tumbler[2] is a breed of fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding.[3] English Short Faced Tumblers along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons are all descendants from the rock pigeon (Columba livia). The Short Faced Tumbler is one of the oldest breeds referred to in Moore's book of 1735.
