Stapar Tumbler
The Stapar tumbler is a Serbian or Balkan tumbler associated by name with Stapar, a village in Vojvodina. It belongs to the broad family of domestic pigeons selected for lively flight, tumbling ability, and a recognizable local look. As with many regional tumblers, present-day birds may range from working flyers to exhibition strains, so performance claims should be tied to the particular family rather than assumed from the name alone.
Owners who fly Stapar tumblers should train young birds gradually from a settled loft and avoid mixing them too quickly with unrelated highflyers or homers. Selection can include roll, kit behavior, recovery, and willingness to return, but safety and fitness matter more than extreme performance. Exhibition keepers may focus on head, body, markings, and feather quality. Good management is straightforward: secure housing, clean water, measured feed, and protection from predators during training. Buyers should ask whether the parents are flown, shown, or maintained as heritage stock.
