Hello everyone. Hope all is well and our birds are doing fine. I hear many different things about Cornell Norwood but nobody really gives me complete detail as far as what rollers he used to work with. I would like to know if anyone knows detail information about his birds. What Pensom lines (as they say he worked with Pensom birds) did he work with ? Where are his birds now? When he was alive how good were his kits? etc. Every since I was a teenager, I remember hearing little things here and there about this fellow. Perhaps because I live where he used to live (Los Angeles). Any information is appreciated as I have 1 pair I am trying out that comes from his 8605 line. Thanks!

Bones's birds were killer in the air And I've never heard anyone thlk about spinners with as much detailed information as old bones, I see one note above "who cares" which just goes to show you how dumb some people can be, you could learn more in an afternoon drinking rum and coke in his house than you could learn in a lifetime at most others houses, cornell knew what it took to raise great great rollers and wasn't afraid to share information or help in any way he could if you were a serious breader, Don Norwood, cornells son is almost equally knowledgeable, I happen to have a complete list of most of his prime breaders going back to the 1930's, feel free to contact me. one could not ask for a finner friend.

Hello:
8605 was a bird not a line of birds. He is out of NPA 80 #61 & NPA 76 1150.

I have two Norwood hens. I do not have a Norwood cock. The offspring from these two Norwood hens are good solid performers.
The people I talk to who fly the pure Norwoods are proud of thier performance with the only criticism being that they wished for more frequency.
The Bone Man does not get his due.

Hello:
Cornell's birds do not lack frequency, at least mine don't. I don't know where you got your birds from but (2) birds dont tell you very much about the man or his birds....Glenn

glenn,
The offspring from the birds I got do well as I stated. The criticism I have heard are from others not me.
Iam glad yours are as frequent as you want them.

Cornell Norwood was a friend of mine. I considered him to be one of better pigeon men around. I met Cornell years back at the home of Homer Coderre, and I am proud to have known him.
Today, my very best rollers, which I use as my base stock, (everything is crossed to them) all go back to Cornell's birds.

Cornell's brother I believe, Elliot is still flying birds in Santa Rosa. He is a very nice gentleman and also very knowledgable in regards to Cornells birds.Elliot has been to several of our club functions. Joe

I know of several people with pure norwood birds, I'm one of those. you can get plenty of activity if you know his birds and listened to him tell you how to bread his birds, Cornell's birds were 1: fast, 2: deep: 3:consistant if you cross them out youve trashed them, also them should be flown with only his line, most other birds have to deep a keel and this affects his birds flyinng characteristics
