Galatz Roller

The Galați Rollers have the "ro" gene, and the young birds learn to do the acrobatics by experience.

With continuous exercise, they fly for about 30 minutes around their home loft (coop), while performing their acrobatic show, which is very tiring for them.

There are also strains (lines), of this pigeon breed, which do not do air acrobatics but fly very high and very long, like a tippler.

The fancier whose pigeons do the most acrobatics during the specified time frame (i.e. 30 minutes) wins the contest.

The fancier lets his kit of pigeon fly and the judges count the acrobatics per 30-minute interval.

In the portable coop contest, all contestants with their portable coops and pigeons and the judges meet on a meadow where the fanciers, in turn, let their kit of pigeons fly.

There are also plain-feathered Galați Rollers: white, black, red, yellow and blue bar.

The feathering is rich, thereby helping the pigeons withstand the low temperatures in winter.

A very spectacular trait of this pigeon is also the fact that the males (the cocks), besides normal cooing, open up their wings in a V-shape, spread their tail feathers and swallow a little air (but not as much as cropper pigeons) in order to either impress the hens or intimidate the other males.
