Birmingham rollers

[355mlredbull 272]

Does anyone keep Birmingham rollers

I'm looking at starting up with a kit

I've always had pigeon fantails etc

Is there any lines to go for???

I'm hoping to buy some stock birds to breed some young 

I will want to see them fly so know what I'm buying

I did keep them and the only thing I'd recommend is watching them flying and buy out of the ones you've watched. 

You'll see loads of people trying to shift birketts and masons etc but unless you bought them straight from those men you could be getting allsorts of shit palmed off on you.

Thanks pal why don't you keep them anymore ?

I hoping to see the birds fly before I buy them so I know what to expect,I suppose with the birds it's the same with the dogs the folk shifting them say they bred from this and that just to sell them 

Thanks for the reply

They were taking up too much of my time tbh mate and I got sick of losing them. I kept thief pouter pigeons too, I might get a pouter again in the future to try and catch a few scrags with.

Would they work hawkers? I'm pretty sure it was the colour of all mine that let them down, the scrags avoided them.

Anyone from down here visiting you any time soon mate and fancy running a doo  or pair back for me? Are you after any canaries?
