Hey Jim,
I raise them colored birds also. LOL You guys do understand we are not talking about color birds right? We are really talking about crossing breeds to get rare colors, factors and patterns? Its not about color, its really about crossing the Birmingham roller on other breeds of pigeons just for color, pattern and factors. Please all you new guys, don't get confused by all the double talk. When you hear rare color, just think, cross breeding! This subject is really not about color, but about crossing the Birmingham roller on other breeds of pigeons. Here are a couple of my colored Birmingham rollers.. KGB

Hi
I dont realy breed for special colors, I breed for the best roller in the world. I am very fortunate to fly a family that looks good and rolls good.

Bluesman,
Thanks for asking about the flying situation. We are in escrow and hoping to close by the 20th. God willing I will be flying rollers from the same place for the next 35 years. Probably take a year or so to get a good team going again, but I can't wait to get started,, thans again,KGB

Kelli,
I hope you are kidding. Rec Red is even in the list of imports. In the 1968 roller digest, there is a list of every bird imported to the US by Pensom and a few others. Along with the band numbers and who the birds were imported by and from, are their colors.. Check out that list.. KGB

Hey Kenny,ok,ok dumb question maybe so but jeez,i've only had rollers less than 2 years and i can say for sure i don't know everything about them especially all the colours they come in(the pure ones).So enlighten me,where can i get a look at a 1968 Roller Digest with a list of all the colours imported?I'm just curious is all dude.All my birds are plain ol Monty birds cept for one 1/2 Barrett hen she's black and white baldy and I'm not changing that soon.The pics of the birds you posted here look great,im not saying they look like crossbreeds,it was you that said they were a colour project.peace brudda from annudda mudda.

Kelly,
LOL color projects! I never said these were color projects. I said Birmingham rollers come in many colors within the breed. There is no reason to go out and cross breed for color. These are just run of the mill everyday regular color's. The rec red mottle hen is from two open patterned blue checks. My rec red and mottles come from my Blue's and ash red checks.. This is a bird bred from my pure Monty birds. The father is IRA-95-#1595 right from Monty's stock loft at the time of his death and BCBRC-97 -#252... My point was and is you don't have to cross breeds to have pretty birds if that is what you desire. They just exist within the breed! Mongrelizing the breed for colors' pattern's and factors is PURE FOOLISHNESS and needless. Not to mention a waste of many good Birmingham rollers.. I think you missed the point mate! LOL KGB
PS. the rare color Mongrel breeders have done a great job confussing the men in the breed. This just proves it! They have turned the cross breeding into anything with white on it is a colored bird. It's not about color guys. Its about cross breeding to other breeds for color, factors and patterns that do not, and have never existed with in the Breed Birmingham roller.
100% PURE MONTY NIEBLE

Ken,
Thanks for clarifying that.My mistake,I misread your original post with the red-mottle.Must admit I'd be pretty damn surprised to get offspring that colour out of any of my blue-checks.
