Portuguese Tumbler Club of America and the Komorner Tumbler Association PIGEON CARE Q&A at 2026 NATIONAL These two outstanding pigeon clubs are teaming up to provide a question-and-answer session at the 2026 NPA Grand National in Oklahoma City. A Board Director from the Portuguese Tumbler Club contacted Dr. Tim England to see if he would be inter- ested in hosting an all-breed open question-and-answer session about the care of our birds. Tim accepted. Tim England DVM is a veterinarian at the Animal Medical Center of Chicago and a founding member of the Komorner Tumbler Association. Tim raises Komorners at the Peckerwood Farm in Southwest Michigan. One club has an idea, and another club has the mem- ber to make it all work. Two clubs working together to provide an educational and professional advice for FREE. If you, as a pigeon breeder (of any breed), want to get some advice, ask questions and/or listen to other pigeon breeders questions you are invited to join us. Additional information such as time and location of this session will be announced at the National. – submitted by Pat Stuart• YouAre Invited!
