"There was never a North American Roller of either coloration, just as there were never any Almond Birmingham Rollers. The Almond or "ermine" coloration exists in North American Rollers due only to its Asiatic parent. If you possess an Almond Roller you can be sure that there is North American ancestry behind the bird at some point. "

Me and old K.D. will have to disagree there. Almond is an Oriental color and Birms come from crossing Orientals and Dutch tumblers as well as others.
