LAVENDER
MAGPIED FELEGYHAZA TUMBLERS In the Dutch Pigeon Standard for
the Felegyhaza Tumbler the colour variety ‘Lavender (Silver) Magpie’ is
approved. I had never seen Felegyhaza Tumbler in this colour and always
asked if someone ever did, but never received any positive response.
Today some birds here in my loft are very perky showing their silver feathers. By : Fabio van Olst (NL) 6 pages - 1,4 MB

winning the Juvenile class. Most clubs now have a keen group of Juniors who

aim for now: Championship and Regional awards, special trophies at the
National, a Junior Proficiency exam and individual breed judging certificates. With our thanks to the Poultry Club of Great
Britain. 4 pages - 555 kB |
