I think the roller came from all of these pigeons. They must be truth in these scriptures otherwise they wouldn't have been said in the first place,
Just my opinion

So it should have been called the Dutch Tumbling Oriental Roller? Not the Birmingham Roller. Damn, so my birds aren't Birmingham Rollers...That damn guy...LOL

the Pensom reference of 1933 was probbably from the book 'Acrobats of the air" by James Graham. Pensom wrote an article about roller origin in it that differed from Levi's. Levi talks about the tumblers coming from the middle east or persia, originally. Does anyone know of anyone having a copy of 'rollers and all about them'?
