Thank you to all on Pigeonbasics

[fits]

Hi All,

           I have been listening and learning now for over a year. I have taken all the ideas from advice given and added some of my own that I think will help me become a competent pigeon racer and are putting them into practice. You will notice that I have not completed many postings this is because they often go off on a tangent and I don’t want to get involved in all that. On a positive note there are lots of good ideas and information to be gained and some really nice gestures from one fancier to another I have seen. I have attached photo’s of my loft I have built from scratch (nothing bought everything hand made) using all what I have learnt off here and other sources i.e. books, other websites and from people I have met who keep pigeons. I would just like to say this is a very good forum and thank you for the good information and advice that i have found on here. Hopefully this will continue and inspire other people like me.

 

I have attached some photo's of my loft and the pigeons that hopefully will breed some good racers this year.

[leighton1984]

hi just looked at your loft very nice are the pan tiles letting any air  out at the top.

[fits]

Hi leighton1984,

                       yes the tiles do let air out, there is also a 2'' air vent just under the roof at the front and back. I have designed some vents at the front at the bottom that can be opened or closed they are directed upwards towards the void in the apex of the roof where two chimineys that draw air through. I hopfully have covered all angles when it comes to ventilation to try and create the right enviroment for the pigeons to be healthy.

 

Regards

Dave

Dave, congratulations on your effort "Nice loft" in this day and age, to me etc. You have passed the first criteria the way I look at things in this sport now. With such a nice loft in your back yard, neighbours or any of the public etc which may happen to see it at any time for what ever reason, could only be impressed with your effort. "Well done".

PS, Roland "PMSL" with that bit of wisdom ???????? you just passed here a few minutes ago, about our mates "Love it".

Enjoy.  

 

 

[chickadee]

Really nice loft you have built there well done, cracking birds you have there too, we wish you every success in the future to you and your birds.
