thanks for the welcomes, with regard to the loft i am using a 7 x 4 shed at the moment, but this weekend i removed the wifes koi pond, (did promise her a new one later), this has given me the room to put up a 10 x 8 shed with the posibilaty of a small aviary on the one side. looked at the prices was well shocked, going to see if i can build it myself,might be cheaper will have to see.

yup be alot cheaper to build yourself , have you any thoughts on how you will eventualy race your birds and how many your wanting to keep as this will dictate the size of your new loft the adverage size for a natural / widowhood ( old birds ) loft is 8 ft x 6ft or 8 x 8 if wanting a corridor .

being a novice and reading as much as i can get my hands on thought i may play safe and fly natural, with regards to the loft i thought a 10 x 8 would give me 2, 8 x 4 section, with a 2 ft corridor running down the middle of the two sections, if anyone has any suggestions on the layout it would be very much appreciated, other peoples earlier mistake could be to my advantage.

well id say to start with 12 pairs is ample so would need a 8 x 6 or 8 x 8 , which will hold 12 boxes
