What is the scientific name of the Birmingham Roller Pigeon?

I believe it is a cross between the Russian Crack Tumbler and the Oriental Roller.


They originated in Birmingham, England over a hundred years ago.


They are a favorite among pigeon fanciers.


They have the ability to roll in flight...usually 4-8 months old. Hope this helps.
