I remember a system from years ago where a chap had widowhood boxes on his house wall, no loft at all. He just covered the fronts if the rain was blowing in. Not sure what system he flew? Maybe natural with each pair and their young all in together?

 

On a very similar theme there was an article in a year book a few years ago written by Phillipe Martin. It was about a leading Belgian fancier by the name of Ferdinand Hamplet (spelling from memory could be erroneous). He raced his birds to boxed on the courtyard wall. They were high and access for the fancier was from inside the building to which they were attached.

I believe the Belgian name was Kotjes.

 

If this is of interest PM me and I will look for the article.

Keep the jars and fill them with some ordinary honey  :X ;D

 

Naw that's what a woman would do, and she would be too cunning to notice it 8)

my first two pairs of birds were in two separate boxes screwed to the wall,all strays,my daughter had just been born,we were spending all our time in great ormand street,so could not keep a job down,so could not afford a shed,it was the easiest and cheapest way of keeping birds,no dust and no fuss,there are days when i watch a yb going over the hill and far away i still kept them that way!!!, i think a aviary with a covered roof,nestboxes at one end and the first 3 foot of the sides covered would do the job,wack a sputnik on the front/side and you can even have ets on it!!!
