       KIND OF BIRD THAT HE SAYS LOFT FLYS FOR 10-15 HOURS. HE SAID
       THATS WHAT THEY WERE BREAD FOR..... DOES ANY BODY KNOW WHAT HE
       IS TALKING ABOUT............... I WANT SOME IF THEY REALLY FLY
       FOR HOURS I WOULD LOVE TO WATCH THAT........ IF YOU HAVE SOME

       Those are tipplers and there are various kinds of tipplers. The
       record is 22 or 23 hours straight. They also fly very high to
       where some become mere dots in the sky.
       Most tipplers  will fly for a few hours. A trained tippler will
       supposedly fly much longer with 10 hours being fairly common.
       Once you get above 15 from what I was told, it is harder and
       harder to do.

       ones that you are talking about flights will fly for a long time

       Trammell,
       
       I used to have Budapest Highfliers and I could let them out
       before I went to work in the morning and most days I would have
       to wait for them to come in after I got home (9 hours later)!
       They come in grizzle, bell-neck and barred (blue, black, red and
       white bodies or solid white), with clean leg or slightly muffed
       and are a very tame breed, even if you don't have food they will
       fly to you to check things out. Also, you may want to check out
       Polish Orliks/ Ukrainian Skycutters, they fly differently from
       any other pigeon breed and come in many different colors and
       patterns. BUT... regardless of how long a breed flies, NOTHING,
       absolutley NOTHING comes close to watching Rollers go about
       their business, whether it be for 20 minutes or more!
       I hope this helps you out, if need be, I can email you some
       articles about theseand other highflying breeds!
       
       Paul

       @ Tiraderoller i think it might be the budapest highflyers
       because when he went into his coop he just went up and grabed
       any one he wanted and none of them even flinched or made a
       sound........
       and yes please send me some info on these birds i really like
       how they just go go go.... i would love to show them off at some
       of my get togethers with friends and family....
       And i totally agree, i would never trade my rollers for
       nothing....... they are the shit!!!! :D !
       feel fre to email me @ marvintrammell@yahoo.com

       The nearest pigeon fancier to me two streets over flies Iranian
       and Persian high flyers . With three young kids I don't have 7-8
       hours to stare at dots in the sky . Most of his birds tumble
       once or twice .

       Rollers are the ultimate performance pigeon, but I'm curious
       about those Tippler Pigeons.   I'm going to search the internet
       for more info. Supposedly, they can dot up in the sky
       and stay up all day and stuff. Got to feed my kit, later.

       @SMALLKIT you only fly these birds for their pleasure.... but
       you can still controll them just like rollers but its all visual
       and not sound.........
       like if you ware the same jacket every time you feed them they
       are i sync with the color of it not the sound of a whistle or
       can...  but you can land them whenever you want but it is
       challenging to train them.

       is clubs that only fly these birds there might even be one near
       you get a hold of your locall pigeon club I am sure they can
       help you out. There was a good size roller club down that way at
       one time dont know if it is still around I think it was called
       the greater Cincinnati roller club but it has been a long time
       and I cant be sure on the name

       OH  45042  (513)424-3521 or Bill Bailey at (513)422-1563

       Flying Flights and Tipplers are two flying breeds that fly for
       hours. Tipplers are timed for records times. ;D
