Lol.....surprisingly HC, I'm awake at 0300 saving lives at the hospital
A vet's office had him after a client found him her yard exhausted. No band or chip, so he needed a place to go. Lyonfuzz's home for wayward pigeons He's pretty fancy so I figured he was a particular breed
 
Looks like a 'West of England Tumbler'. By the look of its beak I think its a young bird.. maybe got lost during its first training?
 
Tumbler breed. Beautiful! Some of my performance Birmingham roller lines pop footsie ones out looking just like that, but they roll twenty to thirty feet, sometimes seventy feet or more (one cock rolls a hundred feet stalls and does again before getting back up to more.
 
Looks like a roller, could be any kind. Rollers (such as birmingham rollers) can pop out with feathered legs every once in a while. It doesn't look quite like a west of england tumbler to me but that may be because I've only seen show quality ones :)
