Abel's and his Birds....

If there is one thing that gets Abel talking faster than his race cars, it's his birds. Abel breeds and raises Birmingham Roller pigeons. This is a breed of pigeon that is bred for its performing abilities in the air. During flight, and at the right moment, the bird will go into a series of rapid, backward somersaults. It is actually "rolling." At the same time, the bird loses altitude. It will then put the brake on the roll, fly back up and do it again. They are not taught to do this. They are bred for their abilities to roll. If you have never seen these birds do it in the air. They are fun to watch as they fly. Abel competes and shows-off his birds with great pride and professionalism at the highest levels of the game. Again, his drive to succeed and be recognized can't be hidden.
