I made it so all the panels that house the door sections open, but normal dove cotes you just clean out with a triangular scraper

Watch those feathers on the lawn......only kidding

Looks great by the way

The grey feeders like in the pics, also they come round to loft at the rear of the house to get fed

Looks very smart, how many birds does it house?

It has enough room in it for twelve pairs of birds. But it will probably only house six or so, as doves like to leave there young squeakers in the nest and move to another nest. We would hope to have round about six pairs our problem being they dissapear round the back garden to the big loft to roost once they wise up. ;D ;D

Thank you very much, we have doves and ones with a slight fantail, this gives them a better chance against cats etc. As you probably know the larger the tail the easier they are to catch, ( even Dovescot can catch the exhibition fantails ). ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
