It would be a pretty tall order to photograph a Roller nicely while it tumbles in flight.
Hey great video Peter and what is really cool these birds will start out flying in circles and keep climbing higher and higher then they start their rolling.

Ok how about this do you know what a tumbler is?
Some kinda Roller, but not sure what the difference is.
Here is a funny shot:
It started as a great shot, then it deteriorated quickly as I tried to pick a bird onto which to focus. In the end, nothing got focused on, and I couldn't stop down (increase DoF) sufficiently and quickly because I was in the M mode.
Hey, that's pretty cool, Peter. I'd never known pigeons did that. I think I'd call them "loopers" though.
I've seen crows do some pretty spectacular aerobatics, too.

Jut a slightly different spin on the green and "orange" combo...I was driving through a little neighborhood today and spotted these juicy little numbers...
