We have doves that sleep in the cotes all year round they are the hardiest, but goes against all the principles that have been logged on the site about a dry loft being important, so what is it wet puddles on the floor like Davie Angus or a dry floor? Our doves/pigeons are probably kept more natural than most because we don't show them, they are out every day rain hail or shine, in the winter I have to break the ice in there bath, but deserve a chance to shelter from the elements

;) ;)

No!!! yer Maw's got enough, but if you move oot I could keep them in the cabin

Reposting these on this board to see if they get more interest: My mate has two pair of indian fantails for sale will get pics tomorrow when I go to see him and post them There is a pair of red and a pair of blue, 07 birds, normally sells then at £25 if anyone is interested. he breeds some show quality birds

Basic principles Without any flow hot air rises/cold air falls, that's how you get frost on a clear night, no clouds to keep hot air in or cold air out Gasses in the atmosphere have different densities air being a gas is denser than gas from the dropping of your pigeon so it will rise or sit above the air, hence bad designed lofts have foul air in the apex even if you left your door open all year With the correct flow you bring fresh or more air in the bottom pushing the lighter gas from your pigeon droppins out the top, a nice steady flow is better as it will push the gas out the highest point, rather than too much it will waft about and could linger longer in pockets Britains position is that when we get south westerly winds from atlantic bringing rain as it cools over the north sea. south easterly winds bring the hot dryer air from huge land mass of europe north westerly winds bring cold air fom the artic mixing with damp air from the atlantic giving us sleet/snow north easterly winds bring cold air from iceland and norway giving us cold bitter but dryer air High pressure over us keeps it all away and low pressure lets it all in So if you can why not try and use these basic principles when siting, building or designing your loft Try sitting in a south facing conservatory on a summers day, try sitting in a north facing conservatory on a winters day and visa versa This may seem like a lot of bull to some but it is used in designing in all walks of life, I can give you hundreds of examples, why not try it for your pigeons

Aye, but you don't want the south westerly winds feeding your loft with damp air or rain blowing into your aviary or doorways Or the bitter north easterly wind chilling your loft in the winter or blowing snow/sleet into your aviaries or doorways

Welcome home son, ye wanae see what that Tammy has been saying about your Maw :)

Aye and all your pigeons, creosote is banned becuase of cancer causing properties, dinnae know how to spell cancegeric???

There's a guy in Dumfermline whose cat mixes with his pigeons and attacks any strange cat coming near

Yer no gettin them, you've got enough :'( :'( :'(

I thought one of the main reasons was for foul air/gases to escape, then gas collects in roof spaces, otherwise a flow of fresh air through the loft Wet/damp air comes generally from the southwest and cold air comes mainly from notheast neither of which you want Setting mines low in the south east and high in the north west Also I have made solid panels/vents interchangeable, so I can swap vents and blank panels as it is our larger loft, so experimenting with different theories and different times of the year Very easy to do if building yourself from scratch You can get smoke testers in a cannister to see air flow or if you smoke

Your no much help to anybody by just posting a photo
