those central heated yorkshire doos have it easy hope they never need to sleep out

Plenty of grub in the shed is the order of the day, you dont want the pigeons coming of the young not even for a minute. They'll know when their sitting duty is over they'll be food there so they wont leave their young as they would if you fed them certain amounts at certain times. Also make sure your down the loft at a sparrows fart to change the drinker.

young birds need plenty of food but most of all they need rings on there legs
