I loved the fotos and the boxes, too. Very nicely done and the birds seem to like their accomodations In the 2nd post I see that one was testing out the thoughtfully provided poop-catcher

Hey, its been a while since ive posted but I have an idea to make cleaning a little easier. YOu could raise the bottum of the box a little on the inside and put wire on 1/2 the box like the rights side or the front (which ever it is) and then have the back 1/2 of the left side wood so the babys dont mess up there feet. Then a majority of the droppings would go through the wire and you could put a tray under. (Which is why you would raise it a little).

Then for cleaning you would just need to take the tray out and take a wire brush to the wire. And for the 1/2 thats would you put down a piece of tile. So all you would have to do is take a scrubber to it.

Dont know if this is far fetched but They look great. Even if you choose to keep them as is.

Thank you Mary & Stach, I always appreciate your helpful comments, Ideas are always welcomed! There are many changes i have made and still more to come, for instance making a divider where by the birds can see each other before pairing up, thanks to Renee's suggestion, also i need to change the channel and place it on the back wall so the channel doesn't get all plugged up with litter! I am a believer in the deep litter system instead of the wire floors, never did like them, just my personal preference!

I agree with the deep litter myself but you do have to change it more often when you have more pigeons within a single space.. having these as just pairs you have a great set up thou so no worries
