I believe doneks,roll sideways while dewlaps dive.

Doneks are about the size of a Roller and Dewlaps are nearly twice that size. I raised both of these breeds back in the 70's and 80's but only flew a few Doneks, never the Dewlaps. Most of the Doneks would just fly away and I stopped releasing them.

As far as the dive difference in the two breeds, I'm not certain but I think the Donek dives in a very erratic manner and the Dewlap is more of a straight diver.

There is a guy here in Canada that is currently selling doneks...i think for $10. I found his add on kijiji.com Try looking in the Canada Section. Go to Toronto. And the birds for sale section and type in pigeons. There are quite a number of people selling pigeons. And his add will be there too. Try Toronto and Calgary. I'm not sure which one it was.

Both are divers, but they may roll differently.

Doneks spin like this.

Sometimes I like to think that Dewlaps are faster divers.

[ErcaN_S]

It was my pleasure Terry. I can give any information about Turkish doneks.

I would like to say plunger and doneks pigeon are belong to different category. DEwlap pigeon is not roll, they just having plunger performance. Example; Adana dewlap pigeon and Greek Vuta dewlap pigeon.There is no any relation which I attached picture between performing pigeon on the video. The donek is different in Turkey. They are Topka pigeon we call who are Macedonian donek on the video. Also, I would like to explain, domestic donek is not having trotter and their roll wider, tornover higher and watching is more nice. Grower is set off that kind of donek racial. Usually, grower is different.
