Hello Guys
Ive just started with performance bred rollers and have birds that are down from Montys loft via John Wiens , I was told that these canadian rollers are hard to handle and Im finding out some elements of the term "hard to handle" .
I have these birds in an open loft at the moment and finding that quite a few of them are not good breeders-parents , seems they are abandening eggs , not sitting , laying on the floor etc etc .
I have a 4 bay brick garage and Im going to fit out one bay for the birds and build a wall of breed boxes where I can put just 2 birds in each for breeding , I have a loft of pet baldhead rollers that I will use for fosters and once I get organized , I should fix the breeding problems .
Im also building 6 walk in kit boxes very similar to Hiene
Bijkers set up which I like the look of very much , allows you to really get close to your birds , I live in a hot climate , identical weather as Hawaii so the closed in kit boxes are not suited here .
Do any of you guys fly birds of Montys family and maybe able to offer some tips concerning these "hard to handle" highly strung family of rollers .
Any info on these Monty birds would be great as Im trying to find as much information as I can about his birds and their history , then hopefully I can use the proven methods to get the best from these birds .
Im really enjoying Birmingham rollers , great hobby , like the guy I got them from said , what other hobby lets you compete against the world from your own backyard :)
Thanks Rod

Hi Rod,
I have a few birds from the Nieble family,, They are just like other rollers, the good ones are good, the bad ones, SUCK!! LOL
You have to find the producers of roll,, I have found that some of Monty's birds produce a bird that come to the roll solid and early, and others come late ,, You will have to find the ones that produce what your after.. Good Luck.. Mongrel Lofts

hey Rob.
what is so hard to handle about any pigeon.I doesnt matter whose they are,but if you are breeding from bad parenting birds you will have a whole coopful of them soon.The only thing that i would say about hard to handle birds is that they are a little more inbred and therefore more high strung
What is more high strung than a good flying tippler.yet you just let them out and see what they will do.

Thanks for help guys , I think what the problem is that Im expecting to much to soon , they have only been here for a short while ,lots of changes as well as a big climate change from what they are used to , their first breeding season as they have known nothing but a small kit box , and the loft I have them in could have been better set up for breeding , but Im fixing that and building an entire new set up for the birds , I think once I am organized things will be different .

Jim,
What would a cross do?
I'm lost!
The fellow said his birds were from John Wiens. As many know, John Wiens got his birds from Monty. Both gentleman did very well in the major comp flys.
