General Information

Birmingham Rollers do backward somersaults in the air and are often called, "The Acrobats of the Air". As one progresses in the hobby a person can focus on the quality of the roll and genetics. versus simply having them as pets.

Pros: Easy, Smaller, Hardy and Good Parents

Cons: Hard to STOP-Parenting!

Been a great experience with pigeons yet far though I did find that taking away the eggs if you dont want babies isn't a good option for these guys, Lol! We tried to take their eggs away so they wouldn't be raising babies and be in good condition for the county fair but they instead his a nest and hatched two more babies!

Pros: Tollerent, Hardy, Intellegent

Cons: Rolldowns,

I have had Birmingham Rollers up till recently and have greatly enjoyed my experience with this breed. The birds that I had were very tolerant to myself and would eat off of my hand, and were hardy with Minnesota's weather. The best rollers that I had were the most intelligent and found other ways to sneak into their loft besides the traditional trap door. Some of them were rather flighty but, with some attention and some "tlc" they tolerate my attention; those that I hand feed became rather affectionate towards me.

I am new to this breed but my husband raised them when he was a child. This is his new passion. We have three pairs and all are sitting on eggs right now. We are so excited to see the new babies, we can't wait. He built his own coop and it is adorable. Will post some pictures later.
