Canadian Roller Club

Head: Gracefully curved oval skull, to be in with keeping with the proportion of the body. Head to be neither pinched or too full in front. Backskull should be properly developed and smoothly flow into the neck.

Eyes: Even, with fine cere. Colour of eye and cere to blend with the appearance of the bird. Eye to be centrally located, with beak line going through the center of the eye.

Beak: Size of beak to be proportional with the rest of the head, colour blending with the head markings. Wattle to be of fine texture.

Neck: The neck is to be of medium length, fairly stout at the shoulders, tapering gradually to the head and be in proportion with the rest of the bird.

Body and Feathers: To be of medium size in length, showing nicely rounded shoulders of medium width. Long, shallow keel, gracefully proportioned and tapering to the tail.

Tail: The tail is to consist of 12 feathers, and is to be tight and in close formation as well as showing good colour. Solid coloured tail is preferred, but not a fault. Ideally, the tail is to be 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch longer than the flights.

Legs and Feet: The legs of clean legged Rollers are to be free from feathers below the hocks. Grouse legged in the feather legged Rollers, and to be closed feathered with only the toes showing. Long or spiked muffs is a grave fault.

Colour: The colour is to be even in consistancy throughout the bird as well as showing a good solid colour. If colour touches the nose wattle or eye it is not preferred, but also not considered a fault.

Markings: Even as possible and showing clean cut lines throughout the bird.

Carriage: Alert and full of life and having the appearance of ever being erect and bold.

Condition: Flesh well muscled and firm, and tight feathered.
