Lights In The Lofts

[sapper756]

Now that we are fastly approaching the dark mornings and nights, I just think to myself what a blessing it is to have lights in all my loft sections, I don,t know how fanciers without these manage. Do you have lights? if not, what do you do during the winter time, do you have to change your routine?

If you have lights, what other advantages do you think they offer?

I was led to believe that by keeping lights on for a period of time during the night actually aided the moulthttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif how ever I may be wronghttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif

I find that as the winter sets in, it is pitch black before I head off to work, and the same when I get home, so the lights for me are idealhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

I havent had lights in ma huts ever Brian, so a couldnt say if it makes any difference to the birds or not mate,the birds always seem to get a good moult, JMO.

 

But thats all i doo is change the feeding times when am at home, and works in well with the wifes work.

 

A light in the sheddy is handy when youve got ti go and get some more beer though,

Yir Aff Topic, Ian stick to thread please,

Never bothered with lights as never had to but if I had to have them would definately have a dimmer switch on them as birds could easily damage new flights etc trying to get back onto perches as you put the light out,at least with a dimmer switch the light will fade gradually so birds will perch up before the lights go out completely.

Would agree very handy to have lights ,i am like yourself of to work and back home in dark come

winter,purchased mine from the birdroom at Blackpool show few years back digital timer multi

settings or just simple of on switch 30 seconds for lights to be fully on ,thirty minutes

to fade down gradually ,grudged the money at the time but just missed a night at NELLIE DEANS

and that was it paid for

Like many of the other members i feed them in the morning now, only letting them out at weekends while the moult is heavy is about as much as i do to allow the moult to go smoothly. works for me!

lights are a must if ybs have been on darkness so they can

grow their flights and catch up. I didn't have lights last year and some

of my ybs held 1 or even 2 flights .
