Description: This bird is showing a front crest because of his mother and grandmother as far as I know. He must be carrying front crest from his father side as well, because the front crest, also known as beak crest, is a recessive trait that both parents must donate in order for offspring to show it. I flew him for a month or two and decided to spare him from the hawks as he is one of the few front crested Mardin tumblers I have in my loft. He wasn’t tumbling when I decided to keep him as a breeder so I can’t tell much about his performing ability. Last updated: 1/2/2011 |
