0042 good post and so true are these words you printed >
" the money is easier to replace than the years you wasted buying garbage. good luck! keep looking up and most of all enjoy the hobby. "
I had spent lots of money in the past but the years I spent could never be replace..but every adversity carry with it a seed of equivalent benefit..I gain more wisdom...

Roller guys can be found if you ask around. A lot of "regular" pigeon guys know roller guys. If you fail there, buy them from Tony. I've seen a couple of his birds and I'm quite impressed. Well worth the money if you are serious.

good post
I would add find your local club guys. They are usually good. And will help you get started, and will help in breeding decision. It is also easier to get a bird that is in the same family because it is close.
My first good pair came from a club member that I had not even met. I had emailed him that I wanted to see the WC prelim for our club. I carpooled with him for the fly and got a pair of birds out of his A team kit. The other members have been equally helpful once they new I was serious.
