Well mucker, look a lot like mine. Mine are only between 12 and 15 inches square. about 18 inches deep. I keep moving the nest bowl foward a inch every other day so that the nest bowl is at the front when the birds are ready to go down again. Just place another bowl then at the back.
No, bad idea that mate. Has ingrediats in it that birds if given the chance peck at... not a good idea. Sames as fornmica... Was told this via a very knowleadgeable true gypsy. Now, like I often have, you wax it with Bees Wax, it is water proof, scrapes a treat and is quick, easy and simple. Slightly warm is like, but is very inflamable. I use to till last 3 season make a thick solution of Garden lime, and paint the whole inside. Then Floors and nest boxes bees waxed. A bit of 'Chinese Chalk' drew under perches, nest bowls, any where draw a few lines. This season close I will start wek after next, scrape throughly and then saturate with blewach, a couple of times. When dried I blow lamp it all well. Then paint it through out. Section of course via section. Yes and will bees wax the nest boxes and floors. You can litually pour water on the floors and swill out. Looking for Chinese chalk at moment. many the times.like ole timers did, I'd damp cloth garden lime and dab the sides. Always fresh smelling, keeps birds sweet and has a calming effect. Likewise a handful splashed into the drinkers and allowed to settle once or so a week is brill. Shouldn't sceintifically, but is great against young bird sickness. Never had it, likewise in one club that does the same.. other clubs, well they have, but again, they don't use lime.

I use to do the same with sliding doors for storage etc. Wax them, or coat with lime. But am impressed. Just need the ventilation system that I and Tony Wing use I guess
lino would be covered by the grills so birds wouldn't be able to get at it to destroy it , yup lime is great for yb sickness , never heard of Chinese chalk before tho what is it exactly ?
