Beautiful birds and your knowledge is fantastic, I’ve been reading loads about colour breeding and to be honest struggling. Then come across your videos and all of a sudden it’s making sense. Really looking forward to 2019 season thanks so much keep it up Rich South Wales uk
I've been watching your videos , love what I'm seeing. Sam you know your art I'd like to talk rollers with you some day. Thank you for the knowledge keep it coming
Hi Sam my name is Alex Scott and I love your birds and I have been following your videos from the beginning and I have two rollers to and they have been doing good in the air but since my old hen had a bad eye I have only flown my younger birds and I live in Southern California and I have always wanted to meet you because I love that you have a great foundation of rollers and it would be my dream to come meet the man that has been my inspiration for becoming a part of the pigeon world and to start my own foundation
I'm watching your shows every night before I go to bed. It produces good dreams! Sometimes I wish the camera would hold on a bird longer. I will stay up the extra minute.
Yo I like the way you carry your self and the way you express your self ! Especially how you are so truly into your birds and breed ! God bless you with your life and birds and breeding ! You are down to earth 🌏 so always keep it real ok 👌 stay blessed and focus in you flying bird mam 👍😇
very good info, but i think it would serve the viewers better, if on beginning you would explain what your Ideal is in a spinner, then do Physical Compensation mating . Just my opinion !
Hello. Sir my name is Rafael from the Philippines I'm always watching your video regarding the pigeon I'm fancier here in the Philippines I would like ash because right now I'm doing breeding now pair ash brown bar what do you think the color of there baby sir..
Hi Sam. I won a pair of pigeons in a raffle. I'm pretty sure they are rollers. Not sure whether parlor or oriental. What's the difference. Never had pigeons but had been thinking about getting some as pets . Not necessarily for show or competition. Maybe that will change. Do you let your pigeons out for a flight? I really enjoyed this video. Great info. Thank you for sharing your knowlege. Hi from Mrlb. Australia.
Birds tend to roll better when the distance from the tip of her tail to the tip of their wings are the same This creates less drag when they are rolling
If your pigeons are puffing up while they eat it’s probably because they are either agitated or they might have food stuck between they throat or the crop on their chest has your pigeons been acting oddly like dizzy or are they tired or not eating much sometimes if there’s a hawk or a bigger bird they might do what you describing
Hi glad to see you again , got hit bad by Maria at PuertoRico lost my hens only got male , Will be starting all new , simitty does any one in Puerto Rico have any of your bird?
Smitty, i think your problems are that you do not have a family of birds, but rather birds that are very different to each other, again, breed for your "Ideal Roller" !
I bet that black and White muff is down out of my line! I sold my muffs everywhere! If you have black and white muffs spinning fifty feet are more most likely they are from ME!!!! 😎
Man is it possible to do a series of 5pairs in your RU-vid channel where you update with one clip every week on those five pairs (breeding progress) of those youngs we got out of those five pairs grow for 35days ? 1st clip Filming that pair when you choose their partners 2nd clip Filming the birds when they laid eggs 3rd clip Filming the youngsters when they've hatched 4th Filming them when they grow color 5th clip Filming them when they start eating by themselves Last clip. Filming them when they start flying for them selves
BIG SLICE BX I keep my saddles on blue Cheqs or A nice Red Cheq Badge! My profile picture shows a blue cheq saddle bald head muff that came off A Blue Cheq bald head and A darker blue bald head! Go soft to soft and then to hard color's so you can keep your beauty going!
Hello Smitty thank you for your videos. I’ve had a love for these birds since I was 12 years old. My father and his brother also raised and flee his birds as well and who was the one that brought them to my attention and I instantly fell in love. I started trying to breed my own strain (family bloodline) of birds. I entered them in pigeon shows at the L.A. county fair held once a year and the orange pigeon show as well as I was in the NATIONAL BIRMINGHAM ROLLER CLUB with many outstanding gentlemen helping me in the trade providing breeding pairs for me to start my own kit. I was also in Manaus other pigeon clubs including NATIONAL PIGEON ASSOCIATION ETC and everyone was so excited to see a young man so involved in the trade. In 1993-94 I flew competitively in the World Cup and was the most exciting time of my life. Life happened and I wasn’t able to keep them in my neighborhood in chino any longer plus it was starting to get to the end of my high school years and I started looking into what I wanted to do for a living which i decided being a automotive technician was for me and working at the local Chevrolet Dealership M.K. Smith Chevrolet took me in and paid my way thru technical school for the company and I was to busy for my birds but have been dreaming of the day to get back involved in the hobby. Is there any advice you may have for me as to find a few pairs of proven breeders to start my flock? Also are you local so I can possibly visit with my 9 year old daughter and wife to see the million stories of told of these fascinating animals and they won’t think I’m exaggerating of pigeons doing spins, tumbles, flips etc and returning home immediately for feed and to take care of young. Please respond I would like to see your birds and it would be a honor for my family and I to hear your knowledge in person, thank you in advance-Vincent (Vinny) Wright jr chino Ca-vincewrighttoo@gmail.com. P.S. my uncle I spoke of earlier is very ill with Alzheimer’s the beginning stage and he always was my educator with my birds and would definitely love to see your handsome stock and here your knowledge/thanks again!!!
Thomas Crawford It refers to the bone that starts from the beginning of the chest and goes all the way to the back close to their tail that is the Kiel bone think of it is the front part of a ship because the same shape that part of the ship is called the Kiel
You and Danny need to do a bare bones what ya need as a beginner to get into Rollers? Loft size, kit box, feed. meds, and amount of birds with a cost analysis or some good data on the cost? I think a lot of new comers to any sport do not stick with it because they "over extend" and buy more than they need and over kill everything on pens and setups.
Hey jus subscribe ur channel.. very usefull videos for beginners.. saw ur video about loft in that at 3min wen ur showing a loft why have you built "v" shape thing
I don't think length is a factor in speed, it's body length not feather length. The long cast is mostly in the stance, wing tips and tail. I find the fastest birds have the slight long cast to them not a short board bird. long feathers, not thick or wide, don't affect the speed in my opinion. There are many types that are exceptions to things but if the tail is flexible and the flights are thin and cur thru the air well this is the best I think. wide and thick feathers is what slows down birds as well as fluffy birds that have TOO much feather. You are talking about the birds you are pairing... if you just select for speed and roll then the type will take care of itself..
