Are there babies/eggs up over the door? Doesn't look like a very safe place to raise babies. How wide or deep is the door stop? I would think not very deep. You'll be picking up babies off the floor is they hatch up there. Alive I hope.

There are no eggs or babies in there. BUT i dont really want to destroy all their hard work building their nest...What if they dont have time to build another one? Should i just take it down and hope they have enough time? I think thats the best idea if there arnt babies in it morrow. However, i could just nail on a 1/4" strip of plywood in front of it and have fun watching them grow? Either way, i guess ill try to do whats best...

Matt, there isnt a landing board yet because i havent attached the aviary or rather screened it in yet. The landing board will be on the fant of the aviary. For now, im just going to keep the birds in with the windows open because there is screen on the wnidow. (that will come off when we have the aviary done)

Do you have dummy/plastic eggs? I personally would leave the nest since you don't have a problem doing that and when/if eggs are laid, just replace them. This really depends on whether you will have birds in the loft yet and if these two (ferals?) will be around or near your birds. You really don't want that. So......if the birds can stay without it being a problem, just let them sit on dummy eggs until they tire of them and get ready to start again. Then take the nest down and kindly ask them to move else where.

Pixy, is that a pigeon nest or a songbird - like sparrow, finch, etc. nest?

[Pixy]

Its not a pigeon nest. i wish it was though. i think im going to keep it there to watch them grow.Or maybe they just wont lay eggs in it and find another place since ive been in there a ot. Who knows.

Pixy,

Your loft is wonderful. It is so exciting to build one and imagine as you work how happy your birds will be in it. I'm looking forward to the next pictures of it. Love the bright floor idea.

Pixy, it is hard to tell from a nest what type of bird built it. It looks a little "messy" and finches tend to kinda throw them together so that is what I'm leaning toward.

I'm not sure I would leave it in there if your pigeons will be using it any time soon. The songbird will get really stressed out and may abandon the nest any how. Too, would it have easy access to the nest once the pigeons go in?

well the birds nest is outside the door where the pigeons will be. it has it in the hallway. I havent seen any birds flying it or out latley so maybe it decided to leave. Im just thinking if it does decide to nest there. I might scare it when im going inor out to see my birds and the eggs might get chilled. Maybe ill just have to ge super quiet and kind duck when i go in the door or am in there at all.

Hey guys. Here are my new Pletinckx homers! Well the one closest on the floor isnt but the other three are and theres one more thats hiding behind the ladder.Theres one adult cock that i have in there because i dotn want him to pair up with another breed in the other coop.

I also am tryin gto sell my other homers that arnt purebred. And i was also thinking of dividing the other larger side of the coop with chicken fence going down the middle so that i can have three breeds. Anyone have any ideas as to what other breed i should have besides the giant runt and haveing the pletinckx homers for wedding releases? I was thinking giant hungarian house pigeon Maybe. BUT i am so excited about this all.
