The steel cages that you have there in the top pics. Benny, where do you get those and how much are they about?? I can't find them anywhere.. ---------- Andrew
That reminds me of my first birds i had as a kid .Jacobin's and I would throw them up in the air so they can fly with my Turbans and Chinese Owls and button heads and they wouldn't do jack didn't even know they were nothing but show birds lol..well that mink coat around their necks and shoudlers help them out in the winter thats for sure.. ---------- Ralph
Well the birds you used to have are ok but not the best and nor are my Jacobins but mine come from a well known breeder Rusty Cosby of Vista, California and i know not many peop[le are fond of the Jacobins but oh well I like them so thats what matters and the rollers up there are ones I bred the white is kitting and rolling nice the bald head is kitting but not rolling so frequant but I have alot of time to work on that but sesides that they are good birds and Kopesta i bought the cage off line go to your local bird showing club and ask where you could buy a show cage and possably they may let you buy one right then _________________________ The man in black Bling-Bling-Benny-Boy city-side-lofts.piczo.com
Ok thanks Cityside.. I don't know if it will change anytning but that pair I showed above, the male is 9 years old and the hen is 5 yrs old.. :) ---------- Andrew
whats up ben, dont listen to watts. Show birds are nice too, i like those komoroner tumblers. although i wouldnt have the space for them, its all about the rollers here. I know rusty, hes got some top notch birds. Hes a big time fantail guy. I used breed his family of fantails when I was growing up as a kid, had one of his champions in my breeding loft all white selfs. anyways good luck with them, both you jacs and rollers. ---------- Gary
thanks iceman and kepesta all but three of those birds are 1992 so about 16 years old so they are good for bein that old and they show that they are old to but still fill the eggs
