Vienna Muffed Tumbler
The Vienna Muffed tumbler is a Viennese tumbler with feathered feet, linking the compact city tumbler tradition with the decorative effect of muffs. Vienna tumblers are bred with close attention to head, beak, eye, carriage, and color, and the muffed form adds another visible trait. Depending on the line, the bird may be maintained mainly for exhibition rather than active tumbling.
Foot feathering changes day-to-day care. Muffed tumblers need dry loft floors, smooth perches, and nest areas that do not grind or soil the foot feathers. Breeders should keep the muffs even and attractive without allowing them to hinder movement or breeding. If a family still has flying ability, training should be cautious because heavy foot feathering can increase wear. Show preparation often includes cleaning and arranging the muffs along with the head and face. Buyers should look for birds that stand naturally, not just birds with abundant feather on the feet.
