What sort of birds can be kept in a pigeon loft or outdoors? I have seen a photo of a Mule on the outside of a pigeon loft in a cage. Would a canary be 'hard' enough?

canaries would survive in the loft with the pigeons..in a cage in a corridor would be fine.

 

all my birds used to survive outside ...in the shed i now use as a loft.

do you need heating to keep canaries in a pigeon loft i didnt think canaries coped well with fluxuation in temperatures  how about quails can they be kept along side pigeons and can canaries spread diseases to pigeons and vice versa
