Cumulet

The Cumulet is a breed of fancy pigeon. It is a strong, high-flying breed, reportedly capable of remaining on the wing for up to 14 hours. It was used for short-distance racing in England in the first half of the 1800s.[1] Cumulet, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants from the rock pigeon (Columba livia).
