You would have to be a little bit more clear about what your birds are doing and what it is you are questioning about them. Two birds can't roll a full turn. A full turn is an entire kit of rollers spinning together at the same time.
If you mean why do two 20 foot pigeons make only 20 foot pigeons, that is very common and actually a good indicator of the pair's potential.

I think what he is saying is that his birds only tumble (2 complete revolutions)but the offspring are capable of 20' rolls. I think that's what he means?

those birds are about 8 years old (1998) now, I've only seen the pair roll 2 revolutions I think, that means they do 2 back flips right? but yea I don't understand this, I got them in 2001..

parlorfancier916, have you been flying those birds since 2001? If you have'nt they may be stiff. If the young are meeting your standards don't worry about the parents. Alot of folks can't take chances with flying their breeders. Good flyers can reproduce themselves or produce nothing but crap, you just have to try them and see.

I know these are the parents for sure because I only have one pair that has that color and the chicks have the color as well, I just hope my breeder keeps making these 20-30 feeters
