Vienna long-faced tumbler

The Vienna Long-faced Tumbler is one of numerous breeds of tumbler pigeons, reared and exhibited for their ability to spin and tumble down suddenly whilst in flight.

Originating in Austria, in and around Vienna, it is an old breed that was known there in the 17th century.

It mostly occurs in large cities within the United States, since it is usually brought to this country by immigrants.
