Hi Rene, your english is great. You will get plenty of practice in here. The rollers will after flown for a few days will only land on the kit box or loft. You fly them hungry and they want to go in and eat right away otherwise they are fed too much.
It is best to fly 10 birds to 20 at a time if you can instead of just three or four. Do you have any roller guys around your neighbor hood. They could show you some nice techniques.
Some of my neighbors dont even know I have pigeons, but some see them flying and enjoy watching them. They should not be a problem with your neighbors. Just keep dont feed them until after they have flown, feed them and fly 24 hours later (mornings are best) Good Luck Bill C

Germany is a nice country, I have visited your homeland and had a great time except at night. I went to see some castles and the old churhes that have creatures on the outside of the buildings ( I think they were to keep evil spirits out) But inside I saw dead people skeletons in a coffin with a glass top. Some had clothes on and some were just bones, maybe a scord in the hand. I think they were saints of old and I had never seen anything like that and had nightmares the first night after going to the churches. I remeber at the time there was no speed limit in the country and the guy Wolfgang was driving 120 miles an hour, for you that might have been 180 or 200 kilomoters or somehting metric. anyway nice country to live in for this day in age anyway.

I want to fly 4 rollers.The two olds will stay in my loft.
But there aren't any neighbours who have rollers i think there arn't any for 50 km because the rollers in germany arne't spread wide.
In 8 days my first young rollers will born.
:D

Rene 15.
In no time at all them 4 will turn into 8.
Then 16 and so on and on.
Before you no it you will have 20 birds all from the 2 main birds.Keep it up and good look.
PS
you could easy make perches for 20 birds in half of your cage.
They dont need much room at all.
As long as they have somwere to sit thats it.
They dont need to exercize in the cage as they do that when you let them out.
yours in roll.
