Not sure what kind of bird this is

[Lance]

I bought these birds a few days ago, the guy said they were "flyers", but either way I just liked them, and they were fairly cheep.  Now my question is, can anybody identify them?

 

 

 

They're close to a month old, maybe a little more.  Anybody know what they are?

Looks like a roller. Most high flyers carry the wings below the tail . Birms however carry a lot like the pix. Then again they could be mutts. Don`t know till ya let em out and see what they do.

good luck m8 nice looking birds.

Velo, what is the bird on your avatar, is it a New York Domestic Show flight ?????

[velo99]

He is a  Birmingham Roller. His name is Fweeps or The Fweepster. My wife fed him for a week or ten days when he was a chick. Now he is a big old deep rolling cockbird. The image is skewed and makes him look a little weird

Thanks Velo, looked like a flight the way he was standing, must be the image

i think they are a cross between a high flyer and tumblers, beaks a bit long for my liking.

KTC    could be something, tumbler club.     as rc stands for roller club on their rings, and the first letter their club.

Now that's a cool bird.  What makes a tumbler different then a roller?

[Guest coxy]

your birds look like new york domestic flights and with you comming from across the pond it all makes sense

Not sure what you mean Coxy, I know for a fact the NYDSF's are kept in the UK. do I detect a hint of sarcasm here
