Additional Comments

Description: The Iranian Highflying Pigeon also known as "Persian Highflying Tumbler" in Europe and "Tehrani" in Iran is a breed of domestic pigeon bred in Iran* for performance and endurance flying competitions. They fly at very high altitude and at times out of sight. The best birds tend to rise above the rest of the kit to show off their talents. The flying characteristic of the Iranian Highflyer is that of a soaring / hovering bird, with a slower wing beat than most flying breeds of pigeons.... (read more) They are endurance flyers gaining altitude quickly, and have been reported to fly as long as 8 to 12 hours. The Highflying Tumbler comes in various patterns and colors both in plain headed or crested. If you have a specific mutation you'd like, please make note of it in the comments section of your order and we will do our best to accommodate you. The Iranian Highflying pigeon is thought to bring back blessings from God due to it's ability to fly so high.

DNA Testing

If there is no gender option listed for a bird on our website, that particular species is 'monomorphic', which means we’re unable to determine gender without purchasing DNA testing. DNA testing is an additional $149 per bird to guarantee preferred gender. DNA testing may add an additional 3-6 plus weeks to the estimated delivery time to allow for gender results. See our FAQs for more info.
