[@TheRamon4123]

Hey Sam and Danny, a really simple question, before that i have to take a moment to appreciate you guys for taking effort in spread your knowledge and experience its really helpful ,keep up the work.👍🏼 Back to the QUESTION "How to choose a good roller/high flyer" A hint on how to see some signs before buying (eye sign,body posture etc) There are so many birds coming for sales so its a bit tough to judge and buy them You guys earned youself a sub✌🏻️ good luck

[@therollerpigeonevolutionsm7763]

RAVI SUDHARSHAN thank you very much Ravi I will do a video on the subject thanks for your support 🙏

[@TheRamon4123]

Most welcome, hope you guys don't stop your work. I have started the hobby after a long time, hope your videos help me with my journey.🙏🏽🙂

[@Yoyoyoyoasshole]

Hey can you explain more about why they pluck out the 9th 10th feather? There's something I don't understand.

[@omarjabbar336]

Thanks for the info, I never take the features out, I keep it on training cage on top of my kit for ten to two weeks while flying my others birds then let him/her out, always worked for me before as I don’t introduce any new birds to my loft. If I get new birds, then their babies might go to my loft

[@peterramos5748]

I love your pigeon bro, i love pigeon i inspired u bro sam, but i have no pigeon,, i like your video nice,,

[@therollerpigeonevolutionsm7763]

Thank you I appreciate your support

[@amogelangrapoo1166]

I also pluck exactly ten feathers out

[@joegarcia7824]

Back in the late '60s and early '70s we would home Tipplers in alley Coops by plucking 8 feathers not 10. It worked and it was cruel.

[@Confederatemule]

Do you pluck the first 10 feathers from both wings?

[@anthonynelson2635]

Thanks I’m new to pigeons. What would you recommend to someone who wants to get into the hobby. Example should I spend a whole lot of money on my first birds or should I just grab 15$ birds to start with? Common sickness? Hate to do it but basic start up guide for guys like me who want to get into it but not overwhelm or under care for these birds kind of keep it simple and manageable fun and not trying to buy a bunch of birds without giving them my 100% of what they require in a sense I’d like take the time to raise healthy birds. Quality over quantity as far as me being able to give them the best. I’d hate to get six birds and lose them to me being ignorant to the care the require. Thanks for any help and your videos along with sky watcher are helping guys like me thanks.

[@lexbeltran1354]

Is it possible to fly two different families of Rollers together?

[@ShannasCountryCreek]

This is awesome! I am hand feeding 2 white baby homers and plan to train them to fly by me.... only thing I dislike is plucking those 10 feathers hurting the bird 😭😭😭 why can't you just clip them?

[@therollerpigeonevolutionsm7763]

If you click them it takes 3 to 4 times longer for them to grow back if you pluck the feathers will grow back from the roots if you cliip them they do not grow back they need to actually fall out in order to grow back from clipping

[@ShannasCountryCreek]

@@therollerpigeonevolutionsm7763 Got you! Makes sense! TY!❤

[@HighPowerOptionsTrades]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Jmb905]

Lets say you where very new and wanted to get into rollers. How many pairs would you start with to breed from and would you fly older birds if you had them.

[@therollerpigeonevolutionsm7763]

Wichita Roller Man excellent question I would start with about 3 pairs spend the max on these birds from a reputable breeder you want to start out with the best you can get make sure that the three cock birds are brothers the hens don't need to be related to them but if they are even better all of these birds should have been proven in the air you start out with a good foundation you have many years of excellent Birds to look forward to

[@Jmb905]

I have 3 pairs now and was looking at adding one more pair. Thanks

[@loft1152]

More videos

[@mcerenmcy2627]

What about the bird that you got from other people and they start laying eggs is it ok to take out the feather still??

[@user-nf5hj9dq7w]

Hello, this is Martin from India. How can we identify the roller pigions?

[@therollerpigeonevolutionsm7763]

In the air only

[@JL185]

hi sam thanks for the info! What size is the wood are the uprights and cross members on the nest boxes?

[@RickSanchezC1980]

Hey Sam do you put personal bands on your pigeons or the NPA bands ( and why for either one ) Thanks

[@lexbeltran1354]

Sam, are you saying it's easier to train older, mature birds?

[@Oppz94]

Do you separate male and females or you put them all together?

[@berlor2673]

Hey Sam, I need some advice. My friend just gave me a pair of rollers and I got them in a little cage. But for now I got them indoors and I was wondering what I should do. Should I put the cage outside so they can get used to the environment so one day I can set them free or do I keep them indoors?

[@therollerpigeonevolutionsm7763]

Ber Lor you definitely want to keep them outside it's better for the birds and you

[@berlor2673]

The Roller Pigeon Evolution Smitty I understand that but I just don't want to get them stolen. Theres always some fools looking for anything to get a dollar out of. I plan to let them be free one day and be less stress about them but I don't know how im do that without putting them out too long and risk them being stolen inside their cage. There any way I can train them to come back without leaving them outside the whole time?

[@cornellrucker1913]

do you use a lot of recessive red in your breeding program and can you show a few1

[@abrad3061]

Hey sam what city are you guys out off. And do you know anyone out here in northern Virginia. Thanks Tony

[@michaelbuford2425]

can the young birds fly with the old birds Smitty?

[@therollerpigeonevolutionsm7763]

Michael Buford Michael excellent question I prefer to keep the young birds and the older bird separated you're older Birds tend to fly for a longer period of time and you young Birds Tim to come down and land much earlier because they're just getting strong enough to fly full time so in my opinion I would leave them separate until you're young birds are flying at least a full 30 minutes after that you can definitely integrate them with the older birds and should have no problem

[@otepnolasco]

Im from the philppines mr.smitty would you care if you give me atleast one pair?i would love to see them perform in the air because they are so unique.

[@rbcpigeon5092]

Can I fly rollers in winter or do I have to lock them down until winter is over because of the harsh weather thanks

[@lexbeltran1354]

Rbc Pigeon You have to be careful of the falcons. They are hungry in the winter and are looking for food, namely your birds. So be careful. 😉

[@joedecker4242]

Why couldn’t you cut the feathers instead of plucking them out?

[@therollerpigeonevolutionsm7763]

If you cut them they don’t grow if you pluck them they grow back if cut the need to fall out In order to grow back

[@joedecker4242]

The Roller Pigeon Evolution Smitty Question answered. Thank you!

[@perryhall9607]

Would it be possible to talk on the phone? I would appreciate it.

[@gabedorpinghaus629]
