Whats the difference between Tumblers & Rollers?

[GypUK]

And Tipplers come to think of it?

 

Can anybody help me please?

[OLDYELLOW]

rollers are more of a uncontrolled roll where as tumbers tend to do a controlled roll , tipplers im not sure

[Guest peter.j]

tipplers are high fliers they range around your loft for up to 24 hrs the competitions involve a kit of tipplers and the amount of time they are up

no chris i put them in my eyes when im off into town so i look hard 8)

[Guest ljb107]

old yellow is right.

 

tumblers do controlled flips and rollers do uncontrolled 'rolls'

 

tipplers just fly for long periods of time.

There is nothing "uncontrolled" about a Rollers roll,back to original question a Tumbler flips over,once or twice A Roller goes into a tight ball and spins varying depths like a cricket ball hurtling downwards at high velocity,and is capable of stopping in an instant,and back to kit to repeat the process ,so much for uncontrolled,its in control all the while ,Tipples fly high from anything from 3 to 23 hrs

merlin mate wait till you come over and see my tumblers mine roll about 4 foot if they flip they am gone

[newbold]

i agree with oldyellow when i had rollers some times my rollers dident stop and hit floor and sometimes they killed them selves so i d say uncontrold

[Guest youngzimmy]

tumblers you drink out of rollers you put in your hair

[Merlin]

;D Those are Badges Chris and as such are a working breed those  W/O/E mostly are now only capable of flipping over,like most other tumblers

Newbold;d,what about the ones that can stop Roller Fanciers have kits of em.

youngzimmy,you do have some strange habits,rollers in your hair ? ;D ;D ;D

 

Wish everyone on site a Very Happy New Year.

was a nice reference to breeding rollers on the silence of the lambs film   i think it was aimed at making the point they roll to the ground ineffect killing themselves but more graphic

[Guest joshdonlan]

the ones that roll and hit the floor are called rolldowns and they are culls, not what you want.

i heard from roller men that if you keep your roll downs and pair to one not so good at rolling it will even it self out in time,but,only keeping the best ybs of them,dont know if this is true !!!

the reference on silence of the lambs was deep rollers and shallow rollers , your no supposed to pair two deep rolers together as they breed birds than cant control there dives / tumble / rolls , so i guess what your saying is right Ted

yes,but,was told you have to keep only the quality young birds from that pairing and disgard the rest,maybe only get one yb out of 6 or  could be more,depends on the breeding parents and if there quality birds or not i suppose !!!

when i was a lad a few years ago i used to go down the allotments to watch the roller men and thats what he used to tell me if gets 1 or 2 out of 6 hes happy but he said you have to watch them , sad to say the allotment made way for new house a realy shame realy

[bewted]

it must be a tippler that i got in as a stray a while back  its a little grizzle with ntu written on the ring but the owner wouldnt send for it and 9 times out of 10 its the last one flying when my birds are out excercising  there was a couple of times when it had some of my yb,s flying out untill it got dark and they ended up on the house roof all night    debbie
