Hey folks. Is there anyone here breeding parlor rollers?
I was just curious how well of parents they are and who has some good performers?
The falcons have just tore my birminghams to pieces this year. I raised 90 and am down to 28.
I was just looking into parlor rollers as a possible breed to replace the birminghams with and was looking for any information that was out there on them. Just thought i still could enjoy rollers just on the ground and not in the air and my losses with parlors would be about zero to predators.

Hi,
I have been raising them for 3 years now.As far as parents they do great.Some pais do tend to be "fair weather" breeders and do abandon eggs or very young squabs on occasion real early in the year if the weather gets bad.Living in Iowa we try to time it so when the weather has straightened out they aren't covering their young. My daughter and I compete with them and our birds have done very well.We do keep ours in individual coops(bookself style) that are 2'tall,2' deep and 4' long.In this size space they usually don't roll at all unless very startled.
I made 8"x8" nesting boxes I can sit over paper nesting bowl and they have worked great.
My e-mail is mwwilson1964@yahoo.com if you want to talk more them. Oh, had a Cooper hanging around our place last Winter,no lost birds ;)

Polarbear,
I've just bred about 50 parlors from 03/2010 till my last round this month. Bred yellows, almonds, bluechecks,tortoise shells, dunn's, lace, opal's, reds, kite's, grizzle's, and some blue-almonds.
Have you ever been to a competition event of parlors? If you haven't, wow as all I can say. To see these birds do there thing is awesome.
My name is Paul Ramirez, email address:monicapaulr@sbcglobal.net for further info.
The family that I bred from is: directly from the master himself: Paul Gamino,world record holder at 1037 feet & 3 inches & from Richard Rangel that go back to the original Peter Family, known for not turning off the switch.

Hey Mike,
I figure what the problem were having. You have Spam block and wont allow the email's to get through to you. I've tried several ways, but with no luck.
