That’s because you’re lousy with the racket. Practice with your racket held horizontally and hit the birdie up and down till you get it right in the wrist then practice by yourself hitting the birdie over the net till you’re hitting inside the net area. Nobody likes a badminton player who hits the birdie all over the place – same is true for any racket-ball games such as tennis, ping-pong, etc.
When I was a kid, a ball (or birdie, or Frisbee) on the roof was the best excitement of all – we all wanted to try to climb up and get it. My brother, especially, rose to the challenge, so I’m surprised that Mike doesn’t even want to try.
Oh, look! They had a net after all and didn’t need to mess up that laundry. Kids!
Dawn has mysteriously disappeared since yesterday and I going to guess she left for the same reason Michael leaves today. In my youth, when we got to this point with the shuttlecocks, we got the ladder or we got an adult, usually the one who had previously insisted that we should never use a ladder by ourselves because we were kids.
Maybe Calvin will play badminton with her, since he was sitting on a swingset hollering “Someone push me, I need a push!” then talking to himself why a friend is hard to find.
Ha my brother would have made me climb up there and get it. That way I would get into trouble for being on the roof. Of course I was the youngest of three. Liz it’s time to use your daddy’s girl voice and call him.
Birdies ALWAYS ended up on the roof! That’s why we had a few spares. Most times the birdies on the roof didn’t come down until the fall gutter cleaning ritual.

if it were volleyball, the ball would just roll off the roof

Looks like we have the explanation for yesterday when commenters were asking about the reason for the dirty birdie.

We knocked ours down with a burst from the garden hose; sometimes several times a game.

Because you’re always raising a racket!
