I live in Rhode Island. Our fireballs are the old bullnecked deep rollers. They roll anywhere from 15 to 75 feet.No orange eyes have never had a orange eyed bird hatch in our loft. Bull eyes and pearl eyes only. Have blue bars blue grizzles black badges and lavenders to name a few colors. Have lots of pictures but not to handy with this computer would greatly appreciate any help i could get.

Now do you like the black badges. I know your father loves them. Are you the guy your father use to call dinger or something like that. i know he had a pet name he called you.

Hey Al. yeah im dinger and yes the black badges are my favorites the grizzles run a really close second though. But as long as they roll i guess they could be purple. Do you still have birds? And if so what are you flying? Dinga
