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 of the rock dove (Columba livia).

The English Short-faced Tumbler is one of the oldest breeds referred to in John Moore's book [4] Columbarium: or, The pigeon-house; being an introduction to a natural history of tame pigeons, giving an account of the several species known in England, with the method of breeding them, their distempers and cures (London: J. Wilford, 1735).
