Birmingham Rollers

[chaz]

I wonder if anyone can help me I am looking for either 2 roller hens or 4 roller y/b`s , I am trying to set my nephew a small kit up and purchased him 2 pairs today for his birthday, but due to an accident (my fault) the 2 hens have gotten out and gone and these were the last 2 pairs from somebody giving up so can`t replace from the same source, I am hoping to either replace the hens or find some y/b`s to get him a start , I will pay a reasonable price and will travel a reasonable distance from Tamworth Staffs

 

Thanks in advance

Chaz

its a shame about the rollers in this day, as they are getting decimated but are the the best pigeon to help the fancier and save the pigeon sport,  i feel they attract the peregrine

and if they had  the jackets fitted they could save the  sport of pigeon racing  the jacket  would help although the bird would  possibly die with shock  as  the peregrine will only strike in flight mainly we need  something to combat that as that's the  racing pigeons enemy  the town peregrine is not interested in the  townie"s as it cant  catch them  as the townie is  not in the air long enough to swoop down on, not like a racing pigeon who is trained to keep coming home that  gives the peregrine  the ideal  chance to  set up an ambush  from a great height,   one peregrine in among a fed  can send the birds  into trees  all over the place

the sparrow hawk is bad, but easy to control,   but nothing to compare to the peregrine strike, the only defence we have is  to  meet the peregrines  on the line of flight  with the jacket on  take the bird take the jacket,  if that is done we will return to the days when birds

all returned home
