EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Roller Tumbler, a domestic pigeon (Columba livia domestica), from the esteemed collection of the Natural History Museum in London. This exceptional specimen was donated by the renowned naturalist, Charles Darwin, in the year 1867. It is believed that this bird originated from Darwin's personal aviaries, where he kept an impressive variety of pigeon breeds. The Roller Tumbler, also known as the Fancy Roller Pigeon, is a domesticated breed that belongs to the Columbidae family, which includes the common pigeon or rock pigeon (Columba livia). This bird is not to be confused with the Coraciidae family's Roller, a completely different species. The Roller Tumbler derives its name from its unique tumbling behavior, where it rolls and flips in mid-air, displaying an extraordinary agility and grace. The bird's long, slender body, adorned with iridescent feathers, is a testament to the selective breeding practices that have shaped this domestic variety. As a significant figure in the scientific community, Darwin's contributions to the study of evolution and natural selection have left an indelible mark on our understanding of the natural world. The inclusion of this Roller Tumbler in his collection further highlights his fascination with the diversity of life, both wild and domestic. This photograph is a captivating reminder of the rich history of avian study and the captivating world of domestic pigeons. It serves as a testament to the beauty and intrigue that can be found in the most unexpected places, from the pages of history to the confines of a natural history museum.
