Here is a pair of Top YB Racing Homers. These guys are suppose to be real fast, and thats why I bought them to get away from them BOP and tell me when they are around, and whether I should let the rollers out or not.
By the way what color is the top one, here are two more close-up pics. of him.. jw thanks!

Maybe not the falcons, but definitely everything else if they know it's coming.. Well I did get them for 'almost nothing' because I know the guy pretty good, but yes they are are some top Racers.. He has one many races with his birds.. So I will try these and maybe try and find some Polish Prince too..

After being involved with rollers for so long, homers look like crows to me! They're huge! Good looking for homers though!

Like I've said before,my white homers rarely get hit by hawk,falcons or anything.But it seems it doesn't make my BRs any less suceptible to the
SOBs.

you know, honestly from experience i've done that before. and usually the funny thing is, is that the bop's knows what's fast and what's not after a while. so eventually they'll just wait for the rollers to come out before attacking. not trying to ruin your plan or idea. but just saying from my experience.
but what my rollers have learned from the homers is that as long as the bop's are out it's best to either dive in home, stay high, or learn to fly further from home until it's safe.

Tou ..you know that is what i have been thinking too..when i was into homers and Canadian high flyers ..I never lost one to the BOP I use to think we didn't have that problem here until i got rid of them for rollers and sure enough boom everyday i got hit ..BOP they know they no fool..

No peregrines here in the country, I basically only have to worry about goshawks and coopers.. I had a falcon on my loft a few weeks ago (it was a falcon, not a cooper) It was a Prairie falcon of course. But yeah it is carrying bronze.. (the homer) I know a guy that flew these homers all summer and didn't have one get taken or even chased..
