Thank You for confirming my suspicion. I recently adopted an unidentified male pigeon from HSMO. I found Chinese Rollers and thought that looks like him (Basil) but no crest. Then I found your channel. YES! Chinese Crested Roller! I'm not interested in breeding, just enjoying this comedian. He is loads of fun for the whole family. He's very curious about everything we do. He loves attending my Zoom meetings for work. He looks closely at every person on screen. He will let you know when he's ready for a bath when you get near the kitchen sink. I'll watch more of your videos to learn more about Basil. Thanks for your content

hey guys just want to say thanks for all the knowledge you put into the videos. being new to the hobby i've learned a bunch going through them. Keep up the great work!

The Roller Pigeon Evolution Smitty brother I will because I love pigeons and love the sport. keep loading more videos thanks

Beautiful birds

My favorite type of birds

What about breeding a roll down to a tippler? I think with that cross would eliminate the roll down but make them a high flyer with deep deep rolls.

Chris Zorro Chris thank you so much for your support and your comment you brought me back full-circle this is exactly why I do the videos for guys like you that are just getting started thank you I will definitely do a video dedicated to the subject of getting started with Birmingham rollers

I think I'll try and use my arch angle since it has a Crest and breed it to my rollers to get a crested family of roller going

nice video

Hello smith, How can i identify a roller and a normal pigeon. And if its a roller without training will it roll when released for instance after month or 2

What is tumblers pigeon, the same roller family pigeon or is different bread of pigeon?

Your shell crests SHOULD be a simple recessive, but you mention that some have been dominant and have produced non-crested? I would be interested to know if that was Crest X Crest in an individual coop with no possibility of a plain head being involved by prior recent fertilization of the hen.

I breed my birds in individual cages so no chance of the nest jumping but I have seen this and other people that had crested birds they sometimes produce non-crested it's not very often but it does occur

Where can i find quality crested rollers ?

interesting stuff, but I remember some crested roller that were owned by Chan Grover that came from england they did not have a crest like these. These had more like a point of a few feathers behind their head. not a 'curled' crest like seen on these. They showed these crests in old picture too from the UK, again not a crest like this. it's easy enough to find out with DNA now.

Dave I had seen them years ago in England myself and like you said they didn't have the actual crests but something I would call "peaks". I remember seeing them at Les Bezances and few others lads over there.

I am starting a family from a Mason cock bird I chose out of the air and two hens from the same family. I bred one young bird that has the crest you describe. Nice to get this history. I am wondering if I can breed for this trait from the one bird.

What's your preferred method of culling? I've been wondering this cause I always hear breeders saying cut out what doesn't fit, ok but what do i do with the cut bird..

sam: you're very knowledgeable about pigeons. i always had parrots and finches. i live in a apt now and would like to have a pigeon as an indoor pet. can i have your thoughts, please and all that would be nessacery for success? thank you, carmine petracca.

I'm interested in buying crested rollers

I ask what should i pair to have barless pigeon step by step. Thsnk

hey Sam on the crest rollers you said that the foundation hen was a roll down but then you said never to breed of a roll down to get rid of it but the crest rollers you have came from a roll down can you explain a little better

Jose C excellent point Jose looks like somebody was paying attention yes I stated that birds that were confirmed rolldowns this should never be used as a foundation bird in this case that's exactly what happen when I got these Crested rollers I was not aware that the foundation hen was a roll down had I known this prior to acquiring the family I probably would've never used them but it wasn't until after I had had them for quite some time and roll down quite a few birds that I did a little inquiry and found that out the foundation hen was a roll down at this point I've been able to breed quite a few birds that tend to be stable but because of their foundation I do roll quite a bit of them down so it goes to show you're only as good as the foundation you start with and I stand by what I first said if it rolls down it's not worth breeding out of cull the bird

What happens if u breed a roll down with a female that is not a roll down. What is the outcome? What r the chance of getting a roll down or a consistent bird?

the roll downs r prolly from breeding a parller tumbler to a roller been there done that 40 years ago.
