Recently we had someone ask us if we have the Ukrainian Skycutter Pigeon. I myself never heard of these but Donnie has. We do have Rollers from Rick Mee.
The Ukrainian Skycutter pigeon (also known as Polish Orlik) is a breed of domestic pigeon. As the name suggests, the breed is from Ukraine and has been developed for high flying.
Like most other breeds of domesticated pigeons, the Ukrainian Skycutter is also a variety of domesticated rock pigeon.
This breed of high flying tippler was developed by centuries of breeding. It was actually originated from the Crimean peninsula in Southern Ukraine.
And the first documented standard for these birds was set up in Nikolaev, a city in Southern Ukraine.
The breed is known by the name of ‘Tucheresi’ or ‘Tucurez’in it’s native area. It has first reached North American, beginning first in Canada as early as 1967.
A clear conception of the name of this breed has never been held on this continent and in fact, three different breeds have been given the genetic name of ‘Ukrainian Skycutter’.
And this results a greater amount of confusion. These three breeds are the two Orlik varieties, the Ukrainian Shield Tumblers and a strain of white Nikolajevski.
The result has been that because of this generic name, the three have been crossed to a horrible degree.
Ukrainian Skycutter pigeon is a medium sized bird, most commonly in Dom, Red and Yellow color. But Black/Bronze birds are available and also Blues wingbars.
The Black/Bronze birds are of the ‘Kite’ type with a rich red bronze cast over the black (although these are not very common).
The Ukrainian Skycutters are actually different breeds of pigeons put together.
The Ukrainian Skycutter pigeon is flying breed. And it is raised mainly for flying purpose.
The Ukrainian Skycutter pigeon is a very hardy and active breed. It is excellent flyer and known for it’s flying ability. It can obtain altitudes of one kilometer and remain there for an extended period of time.
The breed flies straight up from their loft or coop, unlike roller pigeons. They never fly in a circling motion. These birds are a grain eater, and a staple diet must contain 12-17 percent protein and poultry grit.

Hello there, My name is Mike and live in Az, I had racing pigeons when I was young and now Im not young haha 61, Semi retired and determined to move to a place where I can fly birds again, want to get my grandkids involved. Anyway as a kid I flew some Sions and really enjoyed your website. When Im ready would love to get a few Sions again and see how they do. Any advice for an old newbie? lol
Hey Donnie, Saw your Birds on Ipigeon and must say, those are some Beautiful Heitzmans. They are very true to what I called the real thing. Beautiful Hansennes as well. Take Care, Chuck
Hi
I have placed the pigeon recieved from you recently in a priority express shipment back to you in same box recieved. Bird was beautiful and healthy but we realized it’s nature is such that it needs to fly and be a racing pigeon. We can’t offer that life to it and realize it was a mistake to try this based on our situation
Bird has had not been outside and has been confined indoors in isolation since recieved.
Please give it the home it deserves.
Appreciate the care you took getting it to us!!!
Need some color on my team. Had some sion couple years ago when i had a partner who sick and could not care for his own birds. He liked sions so i bought some from you on pigeonauction.com. We alot of fun his sions against my team .He has since past on. His family called me and thanked me for letting fly with me he really looked forward race day. HE WON EVERY WEEK
