do good rollers always roll perfectly as i have a bird wich rolls well howeva it also puts in some sloppy rolls now and then and wud it b worth breeding off such a bird
The best birds I have got started good since the beginning and got better and faster as they mature. Milan the best thing is to go out and see other birds fly from the top guys. Look for there best birds and if your bird is not close to it well I wouldn't breed it. We need to have are standards high of what is are minimum bird we have to breed out of. Ones you have your standard you will not breed a bird that is not up to you caliber.
Like the bird you explain I wouldn't breed it it would not even be in the #1 kit.
You have to know what you NEED not what you WANT when you pick a bird for breeding.
When you first start you need to fly your birds harder because you want your breeders to be the best you have that last. Fly them for more than 1 year and put them back the 2nd year to see if they could handle the roll. This is one mistake many do.
What style is the bird? What quality factor will you give that bird by it self. Does it roll from the back from the front or the middle? When it rolls does it come out of the roll fast facing the kit? Does he Roll plate after he finish the roll? Does he try to unfold it self during the roll? When did he come in to the roll? How long did it took him to fully mature in to the depth he is? How many times in 20 minutes does he roll? What is the depth he usually rolls? Is he stable when coming in to land or leaving the kit box? Is he the first one to come down for landing or going in in to kit box? Is he a cocky bird if is a cock?
This are just some of the things I see when breeding a bird and there are many more. So is not just because it rolls I will breed him but why do I want to breed him?
From what i have seen in (MY) best birds they dont do that perfect same depth roll every single time it puts one in. It all depends on were the bird is flying at that certain time. The bird gets to no the route in witch they fly every day so they no when its safe to put the correct roll in at the correct time. Now if you mean SLOPPY by it rolls perfect and then every now and then it rolls like a carrier bag droping throught the sky then to me that would have to go. I am no expert.lol And still learning but if my advice and words can help then I am here to help. Good look and keep um rolling. Harrison CRAVEN PARK ROLLER LOFTS HULL UK.
