Like the rollers man looks like your doing a good job with them..... do you have much trouble with the b.o.p. I'm in Ireland and the bird of prey is starting to get pretty serious
hi all is well, in my younger days i fly my breeders and kit bitds. now i fly only six months a year. the bop breders had brought the bops to california . US and now they have bred so much there everywhere. they dont even migrate, they stay all year round. and they only target my rollers . there not really going after the homing racers or wild pigeons , just my rollers so its a battle out here. overall i love my rollers and will continue to keep breeding for performance and enjoy them . theres only a hand full of young guys in to the sport now so the roller are not as important to them as they were to us so its changing.
Raising pigeons= patience...... Alot of new breeders wanna be world cup breeders in a year or two. You said it best. The birds need to mature. Expecting a bird to do 30 ft tite and fast is 20,30year expectations and even then that's a big IF!
Well sky high i don't understand what you are doing with your rollers if you are only breeding for individual performance only here in in Ireland we only stock a bird if it is able to prove it's self for at least a year or more....i understand that you have a lot of hawks and all sorts of b.o.p.
Deep birds are nice to watch. Do they kit?
i have birds that roll with nice style not too deep. yes all my birds kit . right now i have young birds in training. so there starting to kit .
