"Dedicated to the preservation of the Oriental Roller as a Flying - Performing Pigeon."

For Sale

The Flying Oriental Roller Society is pleased but at the same time concerned with the recent popularity our breed enjoys. We are pleased that people are interested in our breed for its performance and abilities to elude raptors. However, we are concerned that the demand for these birds will result in "feather merchants" trying to profit from the sale of birds with inferior flying abilities. We do not want the sale of poor-quality birds to give the breed a bad reputation. If buyers are interested in Flying Oriental Rollers that will truly perform, they should be certain the birds they buy come from performance-bred stock.

Unfortunately the feather merchant will use Dale Husband's name to try and capitalize on the sale of birds. Also the unknowing will continue to propagate the same counterfeit birds and sell them as Husbands. We believe much of what you see popping up will be strictly for the almighty dollar and will be feather merchants knowingly selling counterfeits.

Dale Husband has told us there are only four "Husband" lines. Tuffie, Black, Silver, and White. Any thing else either passed through Dale's hands or are not Husband birds. Dale dispersed the majority of his stock in 1998. He raises very few now, so, there will be very few that could come directly from him. Except for the Tuffies and a few of the whites that are  also becoming scattered to the wind.
