153. The North American Roller: Saving a Disappearing Pigeon Strain
Wednesday, 26 August, 2026
In this episode of All About Pigeons, Kerby joins us to explore the history and uncertain future of the North American Roller, a rare flying pigeon strain whose story has been passed from one dedicated fancier to another.We discuss what separates the North American Roller from the Birmingham Roller, including its ability to fly high and remain in the air for long periods, sometimes continuing into the night. Kerby also shares the stories of influential fanciers such as Les Manz, Chan Grover, Charlie Hubbs, Arthur Karp, and George Stevens, whose knowledge and devotion helped preserve these pigeons through the years.The conversation also examines the devastating adenovirus outbreak Kerby experienced in 2023, the danger of this historic strain disappearing, and his efforts to place birds with committed new fanciers who can carry it forward.This is more than the story of a pigeon strain. It is a story about mentorship, memory, loss, and the responsibility of preserving a living piece of pigeon history before it is gone.Learn more about All About Pigeons at www.pigeonpod.com.North American Roller pigeon, North American Rollers, Roller pigeons, rare pigeon breeds, Birmingham Roller comparison, flying pigeons, highflying pigeons, long flying pigeons, Roller pigeon history, preserving pigeon breeds, pigeon strain preservation, Les Manz pigeons, Chan Grover pigeons, Charlie Hubbs pigeons, Arthur Karp pigeons, George Stevens pigeons, pigeon adenovirus, All About Pigeons podcast#NorthAmericanRoller #NorthAmericanRollers #RollerPigeons #FlyingPigeons #RarePigeonBreeds #PigeonPreservation #PigeonHistory #HighFlyingPigeons #BirminghamRollers #PigeonBreeding #PigeonKeeping #PigeonFanciers #SaveRareBreeds #AllAboutPigeons #PigeonPodcast
