Hamster Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I've seen this many times with pigeon fanciers birds, it seems some birds are just predisposed to it and do it for the sheer fun of it. If I recall correctly it's not a trait that aids their flying prowess so kind of frowned on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 You might be fooled into thinking you'd hit it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ROJw0IfiFM bloke across road from me has quite a few, watch them for ages in the summer funny as owt when one starts tumbling to low and hits the house roof gets up has a shake then fly's back to others.

goldie Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Kept about 30 of them as a lad back in the 50s/60s. Tipplers and Birmingham Rollers. Really beautiful colours.Used to have to keep a couple of what we called, Mackies with them,The Mackies would take all the flock up so high that they were only just dots in the sky and then they would all start to fall and roll over. Never ever saw one crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
