My black doo just found me a young roller I lost a week ago.

He had it on the top section of a group of nestboxes and its of the age where either the parent birds have f****d it off or its got out the nest voluntarily but it was on the floor just sitting there.

I've only just got these tbh. I got rid of my others a good while ago but when I was watching young rollers drifting off lost I had to get them back for retrieving them. That black doo flies for miles and has plenty of steam he just needs to stop looking for cream hens now.

I've been letting him work other colour roller hens so he stops being choosy, as long as he flies well and attracts my rollers back I'm happy. I got them 2 doos and a hen and they all fly really well, my old ones must have been stiffies :)

Good social side to it very friendly and because there isnt big money prizes etc you dont get the agro like racing .burnt out lofts thefts etc. Come from long line of "show people" dogs canaries budgies ,rabbits guinea pigs .get satisfaction when you breed something worth showing to other people,be it new colour ,type etc.Also the shows are a good place to see something new ,and get outcrosses for your genepools .

I couldnt disagree with you more,personally i would get no satisfaction whatsoever from showing a bird/dog/rabbit to somebody and having them tell me it looks nice......but like i say each to their own i dont get it but we,re all different.

I'm not a scot it's just easier calling them doos than horseman thief pouters and 98% of the people who keep them for working are Scottish. I like the personality and temperament of the breed and I do try and use them for bringing back other birds but out of Glasgow and Edinburgh there's not really any competition just lost birds and ferals.

It must be some sight having a thousand flights and tipplers whizzing around above your head.
