NEWKID 27,176 Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Used to keep tumblers and rollers when I was a kid, spent hours watching them fly and roll, the loft is still empty at my dads house.. We hand reared a racing bird that was gifted from a keen racing man, never raced her but she was so tame would land on you in the garden we called her Bo.. Might get some again in the future Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bootsha 1,306 Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 once in the blood you'll never be without. from rollers to racers, then my circumstances changed etc, but i put up a dove cote in my garden, only 8 boxes in it, and i have white pigeons breeding and flying around here all day. I love it., chills me out no end it does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
