Advice Please Guys.

I wonder if someone could help me... I'm having four big conifer trees cut down today, they are right up to the rear of the loft and I was wondering if all the noise would trouble the pigeons? Would I be better basketing and removing them them whilst the wood cutters are here?

 

Another thought - these trees are massive - much bigger than the house - will the birds still find their way back to the house and into the loft when it looks totally different?

 

Thanks.

the noise wont bother them, but for safety i would basket them better to be safe than sorry only takes a branch to fall the wrong way on to the lofts.

Let them fly round the loft a few times though there shouldn't be a problem

 

our neighbours had conifers - and they were removed - we also moved loft to the other side of the garden at around the same time - and the only problem we had was trapping - but that was because we'd moved the loft (and extended it) - and completely changed the front !

Best get shot of now ASAP. before season of racing starts.

Won't bother them at all really.

Be best if used to trapping though before race season ofcourse if to be raced.

Thanks everyone - much appreciated.

[just ask me]

id get them removed what ever it takes as in most cases where these tress are its usually damp underneath them and it causes that awful green they block out a lot of natural sunlight too

 

the noise wont bother them but id ask the guys that are doing it whats the chances of a branch damaging the loft etc is it best to move the birds

Just a thought - removing the pigeons might calm two fears (1) loft damage during the felling, and (2) if you can place the baskets at a safe distance from the work and let the birds see what is going on, there'd be no surprises for them when you next let them out of the loft - in fact after the work is finished I'd drop the flaps and let them fly back to it.

BEST OF LUCK MATE.///

Thanks again. Don't know why I worried, the noise didn't bother them and I don't think they've even noticed that the forty foot pine trees have disappeared. Trapping with no problem.
