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.
What is the scientific name of the Birmingham Roller Pigeon?
