How much better do you think we can advance the roller pigeon if we knew exactly what causes them to roll and how it works.

The birds are only capable of so much before they start loosing body parts, I think some people are already close.

Knowing what causes something may not help us to promote it, or it may. Until we have that knowledge, there is no way of knowing how it may help us in our quest for better rollers.
For example, if you had a model of the DNA of a pigeon with the rolling impules, and you could see it and compare it with a non rolling pigeon, how would that help? You would need a lot more knowledge to be able to apply what you have learned.
Until we have any knowledge we can't see the consequenses of learning that knowledge.
In the last few hundred years our knowledge of everything has increased exponetially, and we all know what we have learned, but no one knows for sure how ignorant we are.
If you find out be sure to let us all know !!

I think it would ruin the hobby. It would eliminate the challenge and hard work that goes into breeding a superior bird. How much fun would it be to breed a bird that met the standard to the letter, if everyone else was doing the same thing?

Joe,
It would definitely be a hoot but when everyone else is doing the same thing, the challenge is no longer there.

I dont know if that would be much fun. I just want to find a pre-potent pair and use them to the max.

What if you didnt have to breed them to be that way. What if you just needed to give them "something" that turned on the roll more often, or kept it on for longer? What if the key wasnt breed specific and any breed could be triggered to do such things. WHo wouldnt want to fly their favorite fancy pigeon, and also make it a performing roller. New question for those who want to play. What fancy breed would you like to give the trait of rolling to? I would like to see a kit of black and white spot fairy swallows that could fly and roll.

How about some russian trumpters that could spin, or some pigmy pouters that could really knot up, now that would look real funny.
