Hi im in the market for a new racing loft with three sections. I will be flying on ETS.What are the pros and cons of having a corridor and aviary compared to having sliding doors with traps attached to them ?

Corridor is for your benefit Avery is for birds

spot on ian.

Corridor for Racing loft every time for me ,birds don't get disturbed especially if strangers to the pigeons are in the loft

After all it's their home

Realy like an aviary.When the birds have a bath no predators can get thum. Good for breaking birds to loft also.

I think it is handy if using ETS you only need 1 pad I wouldn't be

Without a corridor ,wish I had room for an aviary .

Why not have both corridor and aviary.

I went from a 10x6 split in two with a box aviary on the front and loved it. I've now got a 16x8 with 3 sections and a corridor with no aviary and i hate it.

 

If i get a new loft when i move i think i'll go for one without a corridor and an aviary on the front again, my birds were alot tamer and in much better condition in my old converted shed to be honest.

Not hijacking original post, but for people who like corridors would you have at front or back of loft

Do you find with having a corridor that your birds werent as tame because you werent entering the sections as often ?

Yes, that's spot on. I'n future i'd either go for one without a corridor or get a loft with a corridor at the back so that i can have aviaries on the front.
