I don't really know that much about them. I have wondered if they do the flipping thing in the loft or just if they're outside in an open area. And, do they need perches or what? I honestly don't know.

Aren't they neat! They seem very docile and fun. I know my family would all enjoy watching them. :P

[moonshadow]

I have my estimate... Just thought I'd share with you all.

$2136.32

I also heard back from a city council member and he's doing some more research for me.

[spirit wings]

let us know after you have the approval....then you can talk numbers......the horse in front of the cart.

I only gave the estimate for others who might be considering having the loft built.

I think I may just do some rollers even if it is legal. They seem like they would be more fun and neighbor friendly.

White Bird Release is a ongoing dream of mine. LOL. That is what got me interested in pigeons to begin with. I guess what I didn't count on was just really liking pigeons in general! You know? I fell in love originally with the white homers, but the more I see of pigeons the more I'm loving them in general. Plus, Parlor Rollers would be something fun for my husband, son and I to do in the backyard right now! We won't have to do as much training and stuff. They would just be our pets.

We'll see. I'm actually in contact with the city clerk, the city attorney and everyone of the city council members. I keeping thinking they might give in simply because I'm so buggy! LOL. Oh and I'm getting a packet from the AU and delivering it to the city attorney. Yup, I think I'm going to find a way around this somehow...

That's for the 8 X 16? Just walls and floor or does that include the aviaries, and inside work, boxes, perches, etc...........?

Well, that is a version without finished walls or insulation. He used your plans and he even saw your pictures, so I hope it includes everything... He's a retired guy and sort of does it for fun. I have another estimate coming in from someone else, so we'll see.

If you send me your e-mail address I will forward his estimate to you. It's in an excel file.

I sold my horse!!! That means if the city says yes tomorrow, then I am getting my loft!!

[moonshadow]

The city said no, but would allow me to help them rethink it. There are redoing their "dangerous dog" area of the code and would consider redoing the pigeon laws as well.

Well that's better than just a "no"......end of discussion. Get together as many facts about pigeons as you can and present it to them. Even show them some loft pictures and the plans for what you want to build. Good luck!!

[LokotaLoft]

so what your saying is you can have a loft/shed but not the pigeons in it right ? If it were me depending on how many pigeons you were planning on keeping I would have never said I was getting pigeons but just asked if I needed a permit to have a shed lol but oh well thats just me the less they know the better

[moonshadow]

I considered that Lokota, but I didn't want to get them only to have to get rid of them. You know if I did get in trouble. I want it legal, so I can confidently keep my birds.
