       Raul, I  even questioned the guy's to start with. I have always
       thought indigo wasn't in the origional imports until I ran
       across these guy's. The first documented indigo was in a giant
       racing homer, I have since found out it was in the west of
       england tumblers, and therefore leads me to think it was in the
       formation of the breed. Until you breed a indigo to a spread
       bird you will call it bronze 99% of the time.

       Ty, most keep on saying this color or that color was not in the
       original imports, thats fine but what was behind the Imports?
       Pensom imported birds from various sources did he not? To me it
       is logical that only those sources knew the truth about what was
       or wasnt in these birds!

       Cliff and Ty, which is more of a "color/rare" bird, cream or
       yellow? Or do most roller guys consider them in the same class
       of "color" and weak?

       I agree Raul !
       
       Tou, they are both dilute ash red, just different terms used by
       different fanciers. Cream is normaly used to describe the bar
       birds while yellow normally describes the check birds or the rec
       yellow birds. We are a opinionated bunch and untruths run wild
       all over our hobby. If I had weak yellows and shared them with
       allot of people the opinion would be they are weak, and just the
       opposite if they were good. There is good and bad birds of all
       color's. Turner line andalusions are all over the place and they
       represent there self real well so the over all opinion is that
       andalusion birds are very good, there are also very poor ones
       around also. Any color can be bred to be good and also poor.

       Cliff, you fishing ? I felt sure you knew our dilute came from
       WHP via Larry Pridmore. But I guess a document would be nice to
       read to discredit it, lol

       Just a F.Y.I. for Pensom breeders.
       The very first bird banded in the newly formed original Pensom
       Roller Club was a yellow bred by Joe Hein PRC 001 45.
       (Documented in a letter from Joe Hein to Jerry Selinger -- which
       he still has in his possession.) -- the letter not the yellow
       LOL

       Ty,
       Yes, but knowing that fact doesn't dispel the notion that
       Pensom's dilutes were not in the "mainstream" of his family. The
       evidence that I have seen to date indicates that dilutes were
       just as much a part of his family, though fewer in number, as
       any other quality spinner of any other color.  If Joe can find a
       reference to disprove that, then maybe those purists have a
       valid point. If not, then it validates the point that it is just
       another rediculous notion perpetuated by a few color-prejudiced
       roller fanciers with some kind of purist agenda.

       George,
       Thanks. There is ample evidence of the presence of dilute in the
       birds that Pensom obtained, bred and flew. But, for some reason,
       some of these guys today live and die by the notion that they
       were not part of the "mainstream" of his family. I know, it's
       absurd, but that is their contention.

       Tou,
       Personally, I don't consider any of them as "rare" or "colored".
       there are thousands of them around and they are consistantly
       found among the winning kits from time to time in bars, checks,
       grizzles, etc. Granted, there are fewer of them, but there may
       be a host of reasons for that occurrence. That said, the creams
       and yellow checks seem to be of the stronger character,
       better-feathered and the better-performing than the recessive
       yellows. But I have seen excellent performances in all the
       varieties of yellow.

       Oh, I'm not discounting Yellows at all because I know they can
       perform. Dick Kollman said one of the best birds he saw when he
       judged the NCF last year was a yellow bird in Don Simpson's 2010
       Championship kit.
       I know there are alot of guys that still consider yellow to be a
       "color/rare" bird and my question is "Is cream considered to be
       a rare color too like yellow is among many fanciers?"
