Hi Bluebar,
The PRA was started and Ran by the Ouellette brothers.. It was a good thing, but the brothers were getting burnt out doing all the leg work,, A few guys were calling it a dictator ship, so the brothers turned it over to a guy named Terry in Arkansa.. It just slowly died out, after the Ouellett's quit being the driving force behind the club.. To bad, it was a good club,, I won an individual bird plaque from one of their big flys, Called the I-5 fly that Joe Testa judged.. What they did, was have a certified roller program and a roller display each year, that only those birds that were certified spinners could be shown in..Thats what I know about the PRA.
Hey, the NBRC now has its own certification of outstanding individuals program,, you must have two NBRC members sign that the bird was exceptional.. I had the NBRC judge and another guy sign for two of the birds I flew in the 11 bird fly this year.. Mongrel Lofts

Thanks Mongrel Lofts.Another plus for NBRC.I said I would never join another club but NBRC is slowly winning me over.Just got some name bands from NBRC.Very nice and excellent follow up service.
I am under the impression that NBRC don,t accept any type of color birds:If I had say an Opal or other Color roller would they still Certify it if I was a member?
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL. David

Yes Dave you can have color birds certified , the NBRC as a club doesn't care what color your birds are!!!! It's a great club.

I learn something new everyday. I have one or two P.R.A. banded birds in some of my birds background but never knew what those initals should for. Now I know.
About spinner certification awards go, some local clubs have their own program setup. The club that I'm in, your bird need to be atleast 2 years old to qualify for certification. I'm pretty sure if you ask around in your local club, they will let you know about their certification program as well.
Merry Christmas-

P.S. It would be interesting to know how many RARE Color Roller has gotten certified... in any roller club, National or Local?

Hi Thor,
None have ever been cerified in any region I have flown in, but I have seen a couple rare colored birds that were good enough to certify.. A couple of andy's and one opal at Randy Gibson's place.. Mongrel Lofts
