Hey CJ, have those KTs laid any eggs yet? I have all my bird in an open loft because I do not have room for seperate cages. I have a row of nestboxes along the wall and the bird have picked their own personal nest boxes and stick to them. As I get more mated pairs I add a box here and there. Luckily my giant house pigeons prefer to nest on the ground level. I did put birds in cages to mate specific pairs. I will hcange around one or two pairs later on but I have been pretty happy with their production so far. In fact they reproduce so well that I am having to pull eggs. I have limited space in the loft and 8 or 9 young birds flying around with eggs still in the nest. And I still have my adult breeding pairs, sheesh! I need more loft space.
A good rule for your breeding pairs is to allow 2' of loft space for each nesting area. Some of my birds don't mind having close neighbors and each bird gets its own personal space in the loft figured out.

Hey Tori, I am suprised that they have not laid yet I am thinking any day soon, they are always billing each other and sitting in the nest side by side and I think I even saw the male feeding the female. Do you mean 2 feet cubed or just 2 feet of ground space so say I have a 8 long by 4 wide by 8 high I can have 8 pairs or 16 birds. Hey also one of my other bird friends said that he knows someone who says that I can get a pair or two of his Komorners. So i am going to have some more good birds to get breeding.
