THE FIFER Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 sunlight is good for them m8, but not necessary in the loft, not many lofts allow sunlight nowadays, get them out in it m8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaz Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 You will probably find your birds will be a bit slower coming in to form if the loft is not getting any sun on it to warm it up, so if you are interested in the early short races it may be worth thinking of using some form of heating in the loft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest milkyal Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 i dont have sunlight light in my loft, what i do is use daylight bulbs on a timer. They came into form ok scoring from first race to last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wings Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Hi i had a big tree in my garden for the first two years of racing it was always getting in the way especialy for the birds trying to land. and the lack of sunlite was not doing them any favours. what i did was cut the tree down completely and when i had my loft buitl i put clear perspex in the roof so that they got some natural lite most of the day all be it not direct sunlite but they seem to have thrived on it this year. If I was you i would approach th council and ask to have the tree removed as it a danger to your property ( or there property especialy with the wild winds we have in this country) best of luck. THE TREE NEEDS TO BE LOWERED OR FELLED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulkie Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 were do you get daylight bulbs from i might try that with the tree hammer twenty or so 6 inch rusty nails in it and the tree will die in time for racing next year then the council have to cut it downbetter still hammer some tubes into the ground round the rootsand feed the tree some creosote it works. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnQuinn Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Where i live the tree would be cut down to the ground and nobody would complain. Whats it like round your way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fair Play Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Remember to remove the nails or you will land up with the bill for the felling and if done by the council will not be cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
