I have a good longtime friend in India, C. Murugesh from the Madras Tippler
& Tumbler Pigeon Fanciers Association. The Tipplers in India are very
different at our tipplers. They are bigger in body and look a little bit as
racers. But they fly very good. The best time 1st 20:30, flown in 2004 by
Mr. Lal, Palakad / Kerala.

This time is flown in the same rules as we fly. But there are some other
flies, the 3 and 5 day fly. Every day the same pigeons flies, they start at
8.oclock and fly so long as they can and the time of 3 and also from 5 days
add up. I and also a friend from the Netherlands exported some tipplers to
Bahrain and get some Tipplers back from a Sheich, Salman Mubarak bin Al
Kalifa. Very nice pigeons. In Bahrain they flew round about 1o h and very
very high. Here in Germany we cannot settle them, because of their extremely
highflying, so we sold them to a man, who crossed them with Vienna
Highfliers. Also we had some Tipplers from Pakistan (Faisalabad)- They have
many strains in Pakistan, Chat Wale, Moti Wale Unasi Wale, Loha Jin and
Thunays. Very uniform Tipplers in different body. The pigeons from Bahrain
came also in former times from India and Pakistan Mr. Mubarak told. His
family has this pigeons more than 150 years.

I have many photos of this pigeons from India and Pakistan and Bahrain.

I also fly many years tipplers from Iran, nice white ticked blacks and
blues, very good and longtime flying tipplers. I also crossed them into my
tipplers and it helped to fly longer.

As I have no scanner, I cannot let see you this tipplers from the foreign
countries. When someone has interest, to see some photos, he must sent me
his address and I ill sent him some photos.
