Hello everyone, I recently purchased a pair of roller pigeons. It didn't occur to me to ask the breeder what kind of roller they were until I had gotten back home. They've been in my loft for a few weeks now, and are on a pair of eggs. I candled the eggs and they are both fertile. I'm now wondering what kind of roller they may be. I'm wondering if they may be parlor rollers or even Birmingham rollers. I've attached a picture of the male and the hen is almost identical. Any help on identifying which breed of roller they may be would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

From that pic looks like a Birmingham roller . Could be parlor some don't start roll till year old & this ones feathers to good a shape for that . Luck

Thanks for the info Ross. Is there any way of telling a Birmingham from a parlor by just looking at them? Or are they to similar? Thanks

Parlor rollers are a little smaller & roll on the ground . Parlor tumblers do flips from the ground & both get feathers ruffled by doing so . How old are they .
