Debrecin Roller
The Debrecin Roller is a Hungarian roller pigeon associated with Debrecen, a city with a strong regional pigeon culture. Roller breeds are selected for aerial rolling or spinning behavior, though style, depth, frequency, and control vary between strains. The name is sometimes spelled in different ways, but the regional connection is important when distinguishing it from other Hungarian rollers and tumblers.
Debrecin Rollers need patient training and careful selection, because performance should be controlled enough for birds to fly safely and return to the loft. They need a clean, secure loft, balanced feeding, and protection from predators during exercise. Breeders should watch orientation, wing strength, temperament, and recovery after performance. Show traits may matter in some lines, but a roller's practical value is best judged in the air.
