You will never end up with anything good. Won't be a Birmingham or a Parlor just a pigeon or some might call it a mongrel.

Mike,
Welcome to the site.
There has been many who have crossed the Parlor with the Birmingham and I have never had them speak of success. There are many who consider it taboo to cross any breed into the Birmingham and you may recieve a strong protest for it.

Welcome Mike! I raise BRs and PRs, wouldn't ever cross them though! Its just not ethical! Thats just my opinion!
Its been tried by some, and I've never heard of any succesful results!

You would be giving both breeds a disability. Causing them harm needlessly! Enjoy each breed for what they are!

Back in my younger day I did it. The results are mad tumblers and very very unstable birds. Not something I would reccomend.

I read a post were one of the english guys did it and raised a champion B\R from the strain, but it took him 10 years to do it. I bought a f5 to play with a while back and i can tell you DONT WASTE YOUR TIME.and it's not fair to the bird.

I agree its not fair to the bird's
Back in 1979 we did this, not good.. As kids it was funny to see a crazy bird fly not more than 2 - 3feet and hit one's all day long with a crazed look in its eye. Not good..
these mixed br & pr birds really don’t have control of what it is doing, but on the other hand if you breed pr's to pr's these can have control, you can walk by them and will not roll but just stomp your foot and the pr is off rolling 70-100' in one shot.
my advise don’t do it..
one or the other.
