1, Make sure they are not starving.
But also hungry at the same time.
Get the food right and you dont need any more tips.
2,Keep them in small cofined spaces ie(KITS).
3,As soon as they land trap them.
4,Dont feed them as soon as they come in.
When the birds no there getting food as soon as they land they get excited and start bumping when coming down from flying.
I was told this and it worked for me.
5,Make sure the birds are in good healthy condition.
Mind,body and feather.
I think how can you excpect a roller to give 110% when its not in 110% condition??
Could you run a maraphon if you was under/over waight.
Torn trainers falling off your feet?
Think the birds feathers as trainers.
Bad/poor feathering.
Bad poor flying.
Just a few things that I feel are inportant when flying rollers.

1. Buy several unrelated birds and make your own family.
2. Buy birds supposedly down out of a famous bird that has been dead for many, many years.
3. Never visit any other lofts to observe their birds.
4. Never check competition records to see who is doing it right.
5. Buy a very good bird to put into your family to improve your birds.
6. Never keep a free bird. All free birds are junk.
7. Believe every thing on a pedigree.
8. Buy only from those who brag how good their birds are. The better
they are with the pen the better the birds. Goes hand in hand.
9. Expect something for nothing.
10. Buy only from those who have to advertise to sell their birds.
Better yet only buy from those who sell a lot of birds.
11. Only big bucks will get you good birds.
12. Bad mouth the previous owner behind his back, if the birds don't
work out for you. Never, never ask him for help.
13. This is your unlucky number.
14. Never ask the previous owner how to fly and feed them.
15. The less time you put into your birds the better, they will be.
They thrive on green water, a wet and dirty loft and soiled feed.
16. If you do get good birds, don't tell him, keep it a secret. You
will never need any more from him
