George they still exist. Do they tumble? Not to my knowledge. They are as far as I have researched a show breed only. Some of us are putting together a list for newbies so they dont get tricked but the name "tumbler" or "roller" and get a bad taste in thier mouth right from the start like I did more than once. Fortunately I was a little hard headed and kept buying birds till I found some that did perform as advertised. There are more than 125 breeds listed as "tumblers" and "rollers" of which only around twenty actually perform. We hope to publish the list next quarter.
