Bijeljina Roller
The Bijeljina roller is a regional Balkan breed of domestic pigeon, Columba livia, associated with Bijeljina in northeastern Bosnia and Herzegovina. It sits in the roller and tumbler tradition rather than the heavy show or utility groups: fanciers keep it for active flight, kit behavior, and rolling style, while still paying attention to local type and feather quality. English-language information is limited, and names or standards may vary among former Yugoslav and European clubs. Birds can occur in many rock-pigeon color bases and modifiers, including blue, black, ash red, brown, grizzle, almond, bar, checker, dilute, and indigo patterns.
In a loft, Bijeljina rollers are usually managed like other performance pigeons, with dry housing, steady training, and a ration that keeps them fit rather than heavy. The useful buyer question is whether the family has been flown and selected for safe, controlled rolling, since color or show condition alone says little about aerial performance. Breeding programs tend to keep small teams, testing young birds before choosing breeders and culling lines that roll down or lose orientation.
Colors: Almond, Ash Red, Bar, Barless, Black, Blue, Brown, Checker, Dilute, Dun, Grizzle, Indigo, Mottle, Opal, Pied, Recessive Red, Red, Silver, Splash, Spread, White, Yellow
