you need to be sure they are settled in the loft 1st

yes, if they are coming to you for food and are settled, the younger you can get them out the better. Can they see out of the loft?

good on ya!

in the evening around there normal feed time as they will be looking for food.

where do you live? What did you have? Why did they die? Phil

if they are babies, get them settled, coming to you for food and as soon as you feel they are settled, feeding well etc then just let them come out of there own accord, don't chase them or anything just let them find there own way out for a look around and then call them back in when your ready. Just take it slowly with them! Phil

The members who cannot rise to the challenge, improve there system, become more dedicated to the cause will still not win running away to another club, so what the point! They may as well pack it in now! If they do run away the other 3 can't race on there own without other going to help mark there birds! Phil

could it have had a knock, it looks like the pupil has burst and maybe blind in that eye? Phil

I would also try in keep the one that returned out as much as you can as he will possibly pick up any others that are floating around! Phil

they may well do, whoever stole them is clearly trying to break them out to there loft! Phil

well done!

prob is dovey, if they do get reported then Sue is liable for the return cost! Its a good reminder for anybody that has exchanged birds, get them transfered! Phil

they will send them and you can order the size you require or there will prob be a local shed maker that could make them for you.

how do you mean?

a guy down the road had to build his loft into a steep bank so he dug the ground out built the base and then put his loft ontop. Under the floor he had a door which he could walk through and clean out the underfloor are which was 6' high giving a realy good flow of air. Phil

you have to be careful that mice don't get through the air bricks. Best way would be to put airbricks in low down, below a false grille floor so that droppings etc fall through the grilles and the air rises from below the floor and escapes at roof height. Phil

there is no problem using a block construction but as with most lofts its all about having adequat ventilation. Phil

they will do any size you want! PHil
