MY HOBBIE IN ROLLER PIGEONS  By Joe Stayer  I have been in the Pigeon hobby since September of 1942. Over the years I have tried many different loft designs in order to fly my birds. My favorite is the Mobile Loft that I have at this time.  When I was young very few people I knew had knowledge of pigeons. ‘I got my start from getting pigeons from the barns at St. Bonaventure University campus when I was very young. They had their own animals for food supply. A priest there had a garage full of pigeons and they strayed off and made nests in the barns. I used to go there at night and get pigeons sitting on the rafters. In one of the flocks I noticed a strange bird that flew in the air and it turned over backward. It was very interesting to see them in the air flying.  Over the years I was away from the pigeons. I married and spent two years in the army as a truck mechanic in Orleans, France. I often told my wife that someday I was going to raise pigeons when we bought our first home. On December 31, 1957 we bought a home with a beautiful 34 acre lot and a nice place to fly pigeons. In January of 1958 I met a man who gave me 3 American Pigeon Journal magazines. I needed stock and I learned first hand I needed to write letters or to travel, as there wasn’t anyone who lived
