OLDYELLOW

what are you feeding them ??? and are you feeding them enough ?

thats the one thats needs addressing , you hear of clubs folding around a good club flier and they cant get in any other clubs but same club reforms with near enough same members under a different name and good flier cant join , to me if you cant win without the true competision been in yer club , your only kidding yoursens and yer mates by shutting out the good fanciers thats only fault is to be better than the competision that there club mates are , bring back the sportsmanship , if they win , then learn to loose with dignity shake there hand and try harder next week , then next week they might be shaking yours

looking good love the boxes

British summer time ???? we didnt have one lmao

you can either apply to join a local racing club or you can join the R.P.R.A as a individual member its up to you , either way if you contact the R.P.R.A , they'll help you to find clubs in your area or tell you how to join as a individual member , all the best and a warm welcome to Pigeon Basics below is a link to R.P.R.A site : http://www.rpra.org/ContactUs/tabid/62/Default.aspx

be to high to let rain in and avairy wire to cover over that way no rodents or birds can enter not nessesary to put louvers in back

cheers for the posts was looking to see a few corridors with them in looks like i might go fer dowels get the pigeons putting there heads through the dowels to eat / drink be good training as they have to do the same to eat / drink in a basket

most have either roof tiles or simply take a board of and mesch it , can get various vents for front of loft its down to choice or can also mesch it at bottom and have a hinged board to keep rain out all depends on your lofts design

as a rule air should enter the loft at ground level and exit it either via the roof via a chimley or back of loft creating change of air removing stale air and gases best way to test any ventilation system is to use a smoke bomb for pigeons , you 'l then see if its working also if you take a few photos of your loft be easier to get a more opinions on where you may improve if need be

Hi could any of you fine people with corridior feeders / drinkers please take some photos as i would like a few ideas cheers Mark

Well Done Derek , top flying , hope he continues where he left off next year be nice to see a photo of this cracking bird

Pigeon lofts come under none perminant structures , however you can only build to a certain size , my council states that all pigeon houses are to be 1 meter away from all boundarys ( i believe this is for fire control ) , the distance from the house i believe has to be 15 foot ( not 100% sure on this distance ) , however i had to submit a detailed plan of the proposed development , which included the whole back garden grided out in size with all structures present and the proposed site for the loft on the garden , all of which i have kept to cover myself for future reference , it was passed as didnt want to build to be told permision wasent granted and would have to be removed if someone complained , even if one is considering converting an existing building such as a garage or shed a change of use application has to be made , i know there be plenty of lofts around with no permision , but better to get things right then you have a better legal footing without getting supprised and upset with a removal order

thank you
