I met a Feather merchant or weasel which ever you like to call them the other day. he was trying to sell off rollers to unsuspecting individuals. When people asked him how good the birds were his reply was oh they are the best they will roll right down and bounce four feet off of the ground. One lady was amazed. She said oh sir won't thast kill them? His reply was mam if they don't bounce I don't keep them in the loft because they are crap. Well I stood and listened for a couple more minutes then I stepped forward. Thats when he recognized me and acted as if he was my best friend. I explained to the lady that this was not true that he was trying to con her and the others and that she should never buy birds unless she sees them in the air. I also gave her the advice that she needed to read as much as she could on rollers before she purchased any. Well she was quite upset with this fellow and needless to say they all went away without buying this fellows so called amazing rollers. This is a guy who unfortuneately visited my loft when I was not home. Thiswas years ago and I have since started locking my loft.

C.J., he didn't get those bouncers from you did he?? Just kidding! That's great that you were on hand to set those potential buyers straight. Chalk one up for the good guys.

You could do us all a favor by telling us who you are, where you live, and who this rat is. Then lots of others could avoid the same guy.

Hi Well everyone calls me C.J. but my birth name is Cory Joseph. I live in Ontario Canada. To be exact Haliburton County. I have been raising rollers for the past 30 years. As for the guy who was selling these birds I am not sure any of you guys would know him because it is Canada. But he goes by the name of Rusty or George.
This guy has been around for ever. I also caught him one time telling people they had to buy the birds he was selling because no one was selling or breeding rollers anymore. One guy asked him if they rolled very deep and he said no there wasn't any birds that rolled deep thats why he was trying to save the breed. This guy is a weasel in every sence of the word. He lives on a farm that he swindled out of an 80 year old man. He was renting a room and convinced the man to sign the house over to him. When the guy died he got everything and the family got nothing.
