pigeonman007 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Wanting to get hold of either a training crate or wicker basket, not sure which would be best though, wooden training crate looks easier to keep clean. Any ideas of where best to buy one?
ALF Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Wont make much difference to the pigeons mate ps..i use both
pigeonman007 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Posted September 11, 2008 I like the crates, and they seem cheaper lol
ChrisMaidment08 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 and you can wash crates out easy
ALF Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 yes the crates are easy to clean but then again so are the wicker baskets as i just jet wash them and put them out to dry on a sunny day and easily dried ..they get a coat of varnish every 2 or 3 years and it keeps them like new got a wicker pannier that is 30 years old and still as new
pjc Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 I use both but prefer crates, I put grilles in the bottom with newspaper underneath, easy to clean and no shavings etc left in your car! Phil
Guest spin cycle Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 i prefer crates, the rv woodcraft ones are good(i think).
retired Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 i prefer crates, the rv woodcraft ones are good(i think). Our fed did away with out crates for the RV woodcraft ones (made to measure transporter etc) Im not knocking the single units that they sell as not seen them however the ones our fed got our absolute Sh**e - less than 2 years old and falling apart and looking tired and worn the old ones are between 10-20 years old and fantastic condition still

Guest chrisss Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 i prefer crates, the rv woodcraft ones are good(i think). snap you cannot beat them[ or the price]
retired Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 I did say the single units may not be the case. A fed crate will get a lot more hammer than a usual personal one. When i am at the transporter maybe next week i will show some pictures to prove my point - I have often been told that nowdays things are not built to last like they used to be - maybe there is truth in that.
pigeonman007 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Posted September 11, 2008 They have some useful looking bits on that site, and only about 50min drive from me. The box perches seem a good price as well
retired Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 If you can wait maybe a week i can sort you a crate out i think
pigeonman007 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Posted September 11, 2008 That would be great. No major rush my ybs have only been flying out about 10 day and wont be taking them training yet for a bit. Cheers Craig
retired Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Will take a picture tomorrow and you can see if its any use to you or not?
