gotcha Santandercol... I was just curious to know because im not 100% sure on what kinda birds I wanna get :X so I just wanted your 2 cents.
Do Doneks do rolls/tumbles like a roller? I was watching some videos on youtube where they are diving and doing fast circles...

Game,
Donek go high fast and when they are 400-800ft you put a dropper bird like a fantail out and they see that and dive in a corkscrew for the loft.They do some flips and other arial antics and are very freindly breed.

Todo esta bien Rudy.Estamos en vacation para tres semanitas.Rico.Que alegria.
They don't usually fly more than 8 or 10 minutes but I usually have them back down within 5 minutes,in the loft with a bit of feed and then 10 minutes later put them out again.Often they will go up quick to 400-500ft in 5 minutes,I put the dropper birdout and the flapping of that birds wings attract the Donek flyers to dive to the loft immediately in a corkscrew spin which is quite something to see.They kit on the way up then split apart some but if one bird goes lower the rest will dive to that level then they go up again till I put the dropper out then they'll dive right for the loft,sometimes going straight have any of them so haven;t been able to get them to really elevate cept once there was the friggin henery attacking and they all skied out thought I'd lost the works but all but one came back by next day.If a guy has 20 or so Donek they'll entertain you for hours flying small kits 3 or 4 times each kit.Like any performing pigeon,you gotta control them tough with the feed can.This breed has it's origins in Turkey then Greece and Macedonia.
