Different Flying Patterns of Flying Pigeons
After deep research and discussing with different experts I still feel that explaining different flying patterns of flying pigeons is a very difficult task. There is only one reason I found that the pigeon flying pattern derived from the pigeon’s structure and structure is directly connected to the gene of the pigeon. If we look in the past we will see that humans are keeping and breeding pigeons from long time and this breeding is not restricted to particular standards. This gives freedom to breeders and they sometimes breed different genes. It results as no standard flying pattern of pigeons. For example there are numerous patterns of rollers, tumblers and even high flyers. First I will try to explain, what are the factors that are calculated to categories a flying pattern of pigeons?
The most important factor of defining a flying pattern is the max altitude of flying pigeon. It means the maximum height that pigeon takes while flying, area of pigeon’s flight and if pigeon performs particular moves while flying. These three factors define the flying pattern of pigeons. Below are the types of different flying patterns of flying pigeons. Kindly be noted that no exhibition of fancy pigeons are included in this list as we don’t consider them flying pigeons and there must be some more flying patterns that you have seen. Don’t afraid to tell us by commenting on the article. If you have any video link for justification or picture do share its link with us too.
Types of different Flying patterns of flying pigeons
High Flying pigeons:
High flying pigeons are the one that start flying from ground without taking any round and goes as deep in the sky that human being cannot see them by naked eyes. They never take a round on the loft area they just float in the sky by making round motion of their wings. They have extra flexible elbow joints that provide them extra stretch in the wing. Therefore, their wing from elbow joint goes above the head while flying. They are considered endurance flying pigeons. They can stay for long hours at one position. This kind of high flyers are typically belongs to ukrain and they are called skycutters.
High Flying Tumbler pigeons
High flying tumbler pigeons are actually the mixture of high flying and tumblers. There are two common properties in both of them. They both fly in kits and never fly in circles. The only difference is that they are high flyers that also tumbles not exactly like rollers but they do tumbler while landing or some of them also tumbler while rising up. This quality can be also seen in some roller pigeons which we will discuss later. High flying tumbler pigeons are typically belongs to Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, India and Pakistan and even from some areas of EU.
Another Non-kit High flying Tumblers:
This particular pattern can only be seen in Pakistani High flyers. I think it happened due to different mixtures of breeds. Pakistanipigeons are the only one that has entirely different color patterns and body structure. This is definitely due to the history of humans in this region. There were so many people that conquered this area and off course India. In which, British, Arabs, and also people from Russia are included. They must come here with their local breeds that actually evolved as Pakistani High flyers. They definitely have closest relation with India and Iraqi pigeons. Whatever the reasons are, now this breed is available in totally different flying pattern. Pakistani High Flying pigeons are non-kit flyers. They go deep in the sky while flying in circular even straight flying style. Some of them do tumble while climbing up or coming down. These pigeons remain out of sight in 90% of their flying duration.
Roller Pigeons:
These pigeons belong to UK, EU and many other regions. They have the best rolling abilities during flight. They are kit flyers but do not have enough stamina to stay in air for long hours. The highest level bred pigeons may able to fly till 2 to 3 hours max. They are judges at the ability to roll in the sky. Sometimes the whole kit rolls at the same time in back flip position. There is also a sub-class of these pigeons that are called ground rollers. They don’t fly they just roll even on the ground.
There is also similar flying patterns can be found in iran but they have better flying abilities than typical roller pigeon
Low flying pigeons:
Low flying pigeons are the kind of breed that is widely kept in around all regions of the world. It is really difficult to tell from where they started but this is clear that this is a hybrid breed of high flying and distance flying pigeons. They may start from India and then spread around the world via British crusaders. These pigeons can be found in variety of colors. They are kit flyers and fly at low to mid altitude and never disappear from sight. Due to belonging to distance flyers, they do have abilities to go at long distance from their loft while flying. They are super intelligent birds and are best for worst weather conditions. In a city of Pakistan a female low flyer flew 27 hours continuously. English flying tipplers is also type of these low flyers. Typical low flying pigeons do not tumble in the air. However, due to cross breeding now we can also find low flying tumblers.
Distance flying Pigeons / Racer Pigeons
Distance flying pigeons also known as racers or homer pigeons are the strongest type of homing pigeons breeds. They fly in kit forms at very low altitude but at very high speed. These pigeons have extra ordinary abilities to recognize their home from long distance like even from thousands of kilometers they can come back to their home in hours. These pigeons used to be postman in times and used to help human being in sending or receiving letters. Now pigeons racing is the most renowned sports in the world.
