Okitsme · May 25, 2007

Hi Peeps,

Well my loft finally arrived today. I am really excited now to start my pigeons up. Does anyone know of any pigeons sales near London?

Thanks

Hi Tim...

I will be willing to pay upto £40 per bird. I would prefer Janssens but will go with Van Reets and Busschaerts (sp.). I am going down to Louella on Sunday so will be buying most of my birds from them but I thought I would support the peeps around London too.

I have joined the Wimbledon club, actually I am waiting to hear from them after the meeting last night.

good lads in wimbledon and phil Reis is a great guy , he does acting in things like eastenders and stuff, freddie ditch is a rave but not seen him in years, my step father races there to alan barnfield, if you want janssens visit my website timbarra.co.uk got some nice de klaks and i will do them cheaper than £40 quid mate save you some money, local boys wont always give or sell you good birds as they race against you. i have been to louella a few times never buying any birds as i not sure they rear as well as they could...

hope i can help you out and save you some money.

Yes always built my own. Sometime paid for new stuf... mostly from Demolition sites...

Now if I ever built a new one, I'd just hae a good framework built up off the ground. Cover with a small mesh, Includiding the roof. Wire possibly wrapped or fixed both sides. Then Perspex window frames. Plastic air vents mostly all round if possible. Plastic Cladding on removable batons else where, which can be swapped for air vents if need be at any time. A false roof a foot or so above that over laps by a foot or so. Well wired mesh between the false roof and real over lapping roof. A car fan wired to a transformer each side.

About what I've got now... no car fans, but will install soon... thought that was a great idea.

The perfect loft roland neva have any bother with a loft like that you dont see many open fronted lofts now a days ;D ;D ;D

Aye, and nigh impossible to over crowd if ever there was such a thing ... which of course there isn't, it just a crutch for a lame excuse.

The air flow is moving and circulating all the time, this is a big bonus, none becomes stagnent. ... No draughts, and if one wants can always put a 'Sliding Roof' under the wire to shut of in any real adverse weather. BUT have never had to yet. Indeed I took my sliding roof off as it was never needed.

Roland · May 26, 2007

Only reason that I use Air Vnts as such is for shelter from the rain and elements. Likewise Cladding. Cladding can quickly be replaced by air vents... have about a spare dozen that I have had to use, but on a hot day .... My loft is also under trees, so it needs the false roof as insoulation. But on real hot days, I've place sacks on the roof and hosed down. Best and quickest way to cool it down and keep it cool I find.
