This is one of my rollers I’ve bred. I think it’s a cock bird. And I’m pretty sure it’s a red checker.

Also, the rollers in general are quite flyers. They fly and you can not hear much compared to when the Serbian highflyers do.

Very pretty bird!

And this is another child from Pebbles and Captain. I’ve washed this bird plenty of times, because why not. It’s a checker as well I’m pretty sure.

The other nasty pigeons kept attacking its head. At least soon the Serbians are going to be in their own loft section after the sections are disinfected and have added perches, nest boxes and ventilation. Pebbles and Captain also had another child who I’m pretty sure was solid red, but it died as it got sick from cocci I think.

What would you call this picture? Because I may as well give it a title.

That's a neat looking bird. Is that a mixed breed of some sort?

Reminds me of these old things

My finches have very strong maternal instincts. I normally take their eggs and replace them with fakes or I'd be overrun with chicks. I have a pair and their grown son and daughter all together. The momma finch seems ecstatic her plastic eggs hatched after like three months, no matter how wrong her babies this time look. Fingers crossed they will continue to foster, at least until the canaries are a little older and louder and I can try them with their mom again and see if she will feed them then (as being raised by their own species is going to be better for them learning to be canaries.)

Do they teach them how to sing?

Are you having race wars? In my chicken pen my Egyptians were bulling my polish.

Nice looking bird! What are its parents colors? My rollers (performing type) are loud. You can hear them flying from a good distance.

It’s a Serbian highflyer. It may either be one of my show quality ones or a performance one. I have two that look similar.

I am looking for some Vegas high rollers, lol

Ummm... I don't get it... I guess I'm pretty sheltered... Haha
