Rollers no longer roll.

My friend has a flock of roller pigeons, when she first got them they rolled all the time, she put them in a loft and didn't do anything with them other then feed them. Now (after she has had them for about two years.) they no longer roll, is there a way to get them to roll again?

Remove all corn from their diet, cut them back to 1 tablespoon per bird per day and fly them daily. They have gotten fat and out of shape. It will take a while to get them back into shape.

No free lofting - fly them hungry and have them trap in to their usual 'feeding call'. Rolling is work, and it takes time to get birds back into shape.
