OLDYELLOW

cheers for the posts was looking to see a few corridors with them in looks like i might go fer dowels get the pigeons putting there heads through the dowels to eat / drink be good training as they have to do the same to eat / drink in a basket

most have either roof tiles or simply take a board of and mesch it , can get various vents for front of loft its down to choice or can also mesch it at bottom and have a hinged board to keep rain out all depends on your lofts design

as a rule air should enter the loft at ground level and exit it either via the roof via a chimley or back of loft creating change of air removing stale air and gases best way to test any ventilation system is to use a smoke bomb for pigeons , you 'l then see if its working also if you take a few photos of your loft be easier to get a more opinions on where you may improve if need be

Hi could any of you fine people with corridior feeders / drinkers please take some photos as i would like a few ideas cheers Mark

Well Done Derek , top flying , hope he continues where he left off next year be nice to see a photo of this cracking bird

Pigeon lofts come under none perminant structures , however you can only build to a certain size , my council states that all pigeon houses are to be 1 meter away from all boundarys ( i believe this is for fire control ) , the distance from the house i believe has to be 15 foot ( not 100% sure on this distance ) , however i had to submit a detailed plan of the proposed development , which included the whole back garden grided out in size with all structures present and the proposed site for the loft on the garden , all of which i have kept to cover myself for future reference , it was passed as didnt want to build to be told permision wasent granted and would have to be removed if someone complained , even if one is considering converting an existing building such as a garage or shed a change of use application has to be made , i know there be plenty of lofts around with no permision , but better to get things right then you have a better legal footing without getting supprised and upset with a removal order

thank you

Welcome to Pigeon Basics i have a few yellows and one chocolate , im sure others have as well some of my birds on link below

Some nice birds there

i feed hemp but mainly when racing as a conditioning seed

stroke the ybs and play with them on nest and feed by hand , also give peanuts as a treat however i do believe some wont be as tame as others the more you sit with them the more used to you they'll be

looking good like others have said a bit of ventilation wouldnt go a miss if was me i'd add a vent to each of the doors at the bottom and have a mesch internal door then on the hotter days can leave the doors open allowing more air in

bath mine in sputnik

best to leave them locked up hopefully be a cold winter and hopefully a few bops will starve , natures way of only the strongest and fittest surviving

mentioned him in pm Tim could you re send his number Tim losted it in move over Also Jimmy may want it

perhaps you need to be nominated by your secatary each fed has different ideas ectra , if in doubt ask sec or fed sec

to be honest this is worse one i've seen some realy bad song choices .............. but they sang very well together last time

had me brother up today he said he'll cap them off when hes next up didnt even need to ask him

have bought a few things of there in the past , when can't get stuff localy it's ok getting stuff at shows but it's carrying it about

ill let you pass it by him ............. or ill make out it's his idea will help alot of new starters

maybe we should have a 'Great Deals Section ' so if anyone finds a good product cheap they can share it rest of site

:lol: :lol :P

aye say there for pigeons and double the price think the aluminiun ones probably best wont be as breakable as the plastic ones but have to agree a good price and can get up to 12 for same price for postage so can get a few mates together if wished to save a few £££'s
