Hey Fellow Roller Guys....
I Was Just Wondering How Do You Guys Train Your Kit Birds??
Is It The Feed? The Time You Fly Them?? I Just Want To Learn More For This UP Coming Breeding Season.
As You Can Tell I'm Still A Newbie In Training..
Thanks..

Lots of good info by using the search tab. The feed is what gets your birds to trap in a timely manner and can control flight time. It will also help your birds roll, or if feed to much be stiff, or not roll. Each person birds are a little different and you have to play with them to get them to do it right.

Rollernewbie,
If you can find the book..." A Guide to the Developement of Performing Rollers" by Joe Houghton...
This book was given to me by Jim Feezel when I got my first kit of real rollers some years ago. I still think its the best book I`ve found on these birds and everything you need to know to get started.
