"Dedicated
to the preservation of the Oriental Roller as a Flying -
Performing Pigeon."
The
flying of the Oriental Roller is nearly a lost art in North
America. We are at a pivotal point in the history of the breed
on this continent. The Flying Oriental Roller Society is
established to restore the heritage of the breed as an air
performing pigeon and to advance the popularity of this
distinctive breed in the pigeon fancy.
The
club is open to all who wish to fly and/or exhibit the flying
type Oriental Roller or anyone who is interested in the breed
and would like to share the fellowship and sportsmanship of
like-minded Fanciers. (Preamble

Carl
A. Naether writes in his book The Pigeon, That the
Turkish or Oriental Roller is doubtless the oldest breed of
performing, flying pigeon. It received mention in Persian
manuscripts of the twelfth century. Ever since, this pigeon
has been bred for its remarkable flying and rolling qualities.
