roller keeps crashing

Hi all
Went round to my mate to see his rollers fly, they were all flying well, one of his youngsters was rolling and never stopped until it hit the ground,it was abit shaken but otherwise unhurt. He told me it does it every time its let out. None of the others have done this. Has anyone else ever had this happen or know why it does this. As we are both new to this any info would be good. Thanx

hi mickie, i dont keep fancy`s/rollers but if i had to guess i would say its because it is a young bird and just not quite got it right yet............ hopefully it will grow out of it.

any one else any theory on this...?

my personnel opinionis that theres something wrong with it if all the other youngsters are ok , mind you if it keeps doing this thinkit will solve the problem for you, as it wont be here much longer

something a miss with its eyesight maybe

this happens if there to inbred mabey brother sister mating i had them when i was a kid off a good roller flyer and i had the same problem

Cheers m8 will let him know.
what did you do with the bird.
thanx

the last time it done it never flew again
