MIK Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 The pigeons choose I put in a fresh bowl for next round, they decide if they want to build a new nest or lay in the already built nest covered in shixt by previous young. about 70% choose new but we all have the lazy dirty bassas about us.
eastcoaster Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Posted March 28, 2015 And me more chance red mite appearingTo prevent red mite I put beer mats soaked in creosote ,fresh ones each month. Has worked for years .
eastcoaster Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Posted March 28, 2015 Also put fresh bowl in but out of 16 pair in stock loft only 3 have made a fresh nest and most the ybs have moved to new bowl makes you think the birds know what is for the best.
