Andrew,
The reason that I made the post about show rollers being a seperate breed was to point out the problem with muddying the line between the two. Your first posts showed show rollers.... they are a seperate breed now... The last two posts show straight rollers...Birminghams..?? I don't know, but maybe... the last qualmond was a good looking roller... a world of difference between her and the big turkeys in the first posts..
If you prefer the show rollers it is your choice, of course, but the "Pigeon Public" needs to be educated enough to distinguish between the two.

I know but I was just wondering if anybody had any pics.. because showing 'Birmingham Rollers' is very popular in all shows.. some people breed them just for showing.. :S

Because they like to have a show breed which they can also fly and have great colors in their birds.. :S unfortunately show rollers can really do all of that.. and if a BOP shows the show roller has no chance whatsoever..
