Freezing Temps

[sapper756]

As we are currently experiencing very low temperatures at present, what precautions if any do you take in the loft at this time of year?

[paddymac]

I just make sure that the water in the drinker is changed regulary so it doesn't freeze over

[greenlands]

Put salt on the footpath to the lofts so i don't end up on my ar*e.

If it's forecast hard frost I take the drinker out at night.

i only half fill the drinkers so if they freeze i just pour some hot tap water on top which is enough to melt the ice if id time i would do as lindsay does and empty them at night an fill them in the morning not used my loft heating this year

birds get more beans added to there afternoon feed, drinkers were poured out just before dark last night as saves all that messing about next morning getting cold fingers,oh, and i wrap up warmer

 

also birds are not paired up yet, brrrr

poly sheets on the front , and door .make sure the water does not freeze,can,t afford central heating in the loft,

IMO after a prolonged spell of freezing temps the pigeons always look the better for it.

i think so too , although not happy with frozen drinkers. i do like a good frost to kill off any nasties we cant see

Make sure they have water give them plenty of feed ,excercise as normal they look good in this weather,sputnik doors frozen + the plastic that covers drop holes is even frozen the day .
