EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we witness the dedication and passion of Black Country pigeon fancier Dennis Fellows as he tends to his Tipler pigeons in Dudley, West Midlands, during the 1990s. The Midland Tipler Union, which Dennis helped reform in 1990, traces its origins back to 1912, making it a venerable institution in the world of pigeon fancy. Tipler pigeons, also known as tipplers or tumblers, are renowned for their extraordinary ability to remain airborne above their fancier's loft for an impressive duration of up to 20 hours. This remarkable feat is a testament to the breed's exceptional endurance and agility. Dennis, a mature and focused man with a deep connection to his birds, carefully attends to their needs, ensuring their well-being and training. His commitment to the Tipler Union and its unique breed is evident in the way he handles each bird with care and respect. The Tipler Union's members, who shared a common interest in breeding and training these extraordinary pigeons, formed a close-knit community. Their shared passion for the Tipler breed transcended the boundaries of competition and commercial interests, creating a bond that endured through the decades. As the sun sets over the West Midlands landscape, the Tipler pigeons take flight, their wings slicing through the air in a graceful dance of freedom. The scene captures the essence of a bygone era, where the simple joy of nurturing and flying these remarkable birds brought people together in a shared appreciation for the beauty and wonder of nature. This photograph offers a glimpse into a fascinating aspect of pigeon fancy history, showcasing the dedication, passion, and camaraderie of the Midland Tipler Union and its members, who continue to celebrate the legacy of the Tipler pigeon.
