What breed do you raise

[re lee]

There are several different breeds of show birds That I am sure the different people here raise. What breed do you raise. And why do you like that breed. I raise fantails. American type. I believe the fantail is not an easy bird to raise. It has to have a balanced mating to produce a good show type bird. And when showing it has to not only look good carry enough points. it has to be able to walk and maintain good head set up front legs. to carry its self well. So I like the challenge it requires to work with. Tell us some about your breed or breeds.

OK, some will say that mine are not a seperate "Breed" at all. I can't help myself, but with all the in-breeding that was preformed before I acquired these birds, and now with the line / in-breeding I am doing, they are certainly now at least a "Strain" if not an out and out "Breed".
Most are either Red, Blue Velvet, or Red Bar, they have "Frills" and love long, hard, races.

Hi all,
I raise/show Valencias Figuritas. Just started last year with one pair, now up to three pair, including my squabs. Want to build up to 5 or 6 pair to continue breeding/showing/selling.

My brother and I raise Canadian Show rollers and believe this breed to be a delight to work with on a daily basis. It could be compared to the American Baldhead Show Roller but Canadian made and one of the newest roller breeds, being established only since 1963.

The birds represents the flying roller in that it looks ready to take flight but still being blockier and larger, having a thicker neck, the breed also has adopted by design, a more uncommon bald pattern in that the body color includes the tail, rump, chest and legs. The only white is the head and the flights.

To see a painting ( still not certified ) gives a nice representation of the Breed just type in Canadian Show Roller in google or Jeeves and you will see it.

I raise rare colored racing homers and rare colored starlings.

I have a friend that races colored homers along with his other race birds. He say if he could not raise his colors he would not raise birds at all. And hes been doing a little winning with his colored birds. . And some he can just fly a few races as feather will not hold up for the long races. To soft.

I don't race mine,but I do train them and have taken them over a hundred miles and they always come home!

[flewthecoupe]

hello all, my name is john from new jersey, im just getting back into colored homers after a year off due to a new adition to the family. i ve had birds for 5 years prior to taking a break. ive had numberous breeds tipplets, colored homers, racing homers, fantails, lahores, rollers, modeanas, satinets.
but ive always stuck with colored homers. and am looking for a couple more solid yellows, reds, and red model homers local only or i occasionally go to Bronx,NY on sundays.

ive also always wanted to try out some tumblers, but havent found any that were affordable for me. untill this weekend a freind accuired some Turkish??? tumblers. i bought a pair for a very good price. after taking them home and watching them tumble in the coupe from the floor up to the perch , i called him up and said i'll take the other 7 tumlers.
i cant wait to get a couple of these birds in the air and see what they can do.

the reson why i typed Turkish with question marks is because from what ive seen on the internet turkish tumblers have feathered legs. the birds i got dont.

PLEASURE TO BE A MEMBER OF THE SIGHT, JOHN

I can't read this guys website but have been trying to talk to him on the net (really hard since he doesn't speak english).
