Exhibition and Competition of Birmingham Rollers
Birmingham Rollers are typically exhibited under the flying or sporting class in cage shows. And do not have an official standard for cage shows, this often times leaves it up to the judge to place birds to his/her fancy. Tight feathered, medium sized, well muscled birds typically place well.
Birmingham Rollers are commonly kept for enjoyment but, some fanciers will competitively fly their kits in competitions. A kit is a group of 11 or 20 birds which fly together in the air and are judged based off how the group performs; there are even national competitions for birds
Personalities of Birmingham Rollers
Much like the colors of Birmingham Roller, their personalities can greatly vary. Depends on how much time you spend with them; you could have a pet which greatly enjoys your company or is unfamiliar with your actions and flighty. Birmingham Rollers typically seem to be cautious but, would allow you to approach them with some distance or wire between. Hand raised rollers and birds which see you as a food-bearer are more likely to approach you and may land on yo looking for extra treats. Many of the rollers I had were fairly intelligent; going in through the back doors in the barn while some Birmingham Rollers were over territorial.
Colors of Birmingham Rollers
Birmingham Rollers come in a variety of colors but, various shades of blue seem to be the most common as their is a belief that darker colored birds perform better then lighter birds which are often associated to be soft feathered. Checks are also more popular due to the dominance of the pattern.
