Bokhara Tumbler
The Bokhara Tumbler is a pigeon name tied to Bokhara, or Bukhara, and the broader Central Asian tradition of ornamental and performance pigeons. It may refer to a local tumbler strain rather than the heavily muffed Bokhara Trumpeter familiar in show lofts. As with many regional tumbler names, the exact standard can depend on the community that maintains the birds.
A Bokhara Tumbler line needs to be understood from the loft that maintains it, since some birds may be kept for flight, some for appearance, and some for both. Flying families need safe weather, patient training, return instinct, and controlled aerial action. Show-oriented birds are judged more by head, feathering, color, carriage, and condition. Central Asian pigeon names can move through several languages, so source notes, family history, and observed performance help keep sales and breeding claims honest.
