allanselfridge Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 the loft roof is covered by tin sheets the problem is that when the pigeons land on it they slide down to the front does anyone no of something to put on the sheets to stop this a lot of the sheets are clear and I would not want to darken it .
andy Burgess Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 could paint the tin sheets with bitumen paint maybe ? clear shhets ?? maybe a light sanding ?? failing that how about small gauge mesh stretched and fixed over ?? if i had them hitting the roof before the trap on race days , i would look to train them to trap directly
Tony C Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Screw/nail roofing battens across the roof.
allanselfridge Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Posted January 9, 2015 I cant have a large landing board as I have a shared garden so the pigeons have to land on the roof
allanselfridge Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Posted January 9, 2015 might try the mesh on part of the loft to try thanks for that
dal2 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 I cant have a large landing board as I have a shared garden so the pigeons have to land on the roofMy landing board is 2ft by 5ft and is 5ft from the ground with two traps into two separate sections
allanselfridge Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Posted January 9, 2015 sounds alright but fifty +doos trying to land and trap at same time might give me some trouble

I had spars along the front of my roof but took them off as I had too many ybs to trap but my old birds never look at the roof and none of them when racing
harky Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 put some clear mastic on them and dapple it with a paint brush .
