Csepel Tumbler
The Csepel Tumbler is a Hungarian tumbler pigeon associated with Csepel, the island and district of Budapest known in pigeon circles for local breeds. It is part of the Central European tumbler tradition, where compact type, head and beak details, markings, and sometimes flying style can all define a strain. The exact emphasis may vary between show and flying lofts.
Csepel Tumblers should be kept in clean, dry lofts with enough exercise to maintain vigor. Flying strains need regular training and selection for reliable return, while exhibition strains need attention to color, station, and feather condition. Breeders should protect the local identity through careful pairing and source records. Because many Hungarian tumblers are closely related in appearance, experienced comparison with the correct standard is valuable before buying or showing birds.
