ahah
bands don't mean anything,
a band doesn't make a roller roll.
a band doesn't make a racer faster.
a band doesn't make a show bird prettier.

if bands really do make them better, then people would put on 4 bands per bird.
pros don't say "Sorry, But, No Band."
they see what the birds has to offer, they dont go looking at their legs.

[fresnobirdman]

and bands dont determine what breed they are.
bands only determine what club they are from.

Well it really Erks me to do it Fres. but too a point i agree with you. If they are a Pure breed the Bands mean nothing, unless you plan to show, or Race THAT Generation.If they are Pure... (pick up a standard of Perfection) and match them up... Than Just Band the Young. NO Problem. Dave

I have a pair of breeders that are not banded. The guy that gave them to me had a lot of his prized pigeons stolen so he decided to remove the bands from the ones he had left. When flyer's see an unbanded pigeon it is automatically put in the category of not being good enough to band weather it's for race or show. If was given the birds without any background on them then they would not be at the top of my priority list. I probably wouldn't have bothered banding their young either! But now I know that the guy wasn't BS'ing me because their young are my top 2 youngbirds and I have another clutch from them hatching at the end of this month.

It looks like a tippler to me or some cross. The sure way to find this is probably fly them. If they dive, then it is one of those diving breeds, eg. donek. If it tumbles from time to time, then it could be a tumbler. If it rolls much, then it could be a roller. If it stays really high and for long, you might have a tippler or some high flier.

I would really be surprised if they were rollers, They don't seem to have the face or build of one. Rollers tend generally to be smaller and shorter in the legs. They seem like a cross breed roller with something else.

have you managed to settle them? if yes you can tell if their tumblers or rollers as theey will try it when flying. If they do just a half roll after a few months it will comfirm they a cross breed.

What types of pigeons are you interested in?

Why are we bringing up threads from the beginning of the year?
Pigeon2010, go read the rules for this forum. Talking about lethal culling is a big no-no. Keeps your opinions and practices that revolve around that, to yourself.

Sean, some people are more serious into the keep-cull process, to the point where lethal practices come into play.

He/She would be a much more productive PT member if they had more to say than "pull its head off" If that's all you have to say here, then you've certainly said it enough, so you can leave now.
