need help from expert


hello all,
i am kind of new to pigeon loft. please help me out here. I do not have the trap for this loft yet, where should i put the trap(please see picture). is this open area good enough for the birds to see the area or should i need to have more open area on the roof for them to see around. Right now, seem like the birds only see the roof of my neighbor and one size of the area. The second picture show the area where the birds can see straight from the loft. Any advise are appreciate much, thanks all.

those wires could really be a problem when they are out flying and about the trap placement you could probably put your trap right off the front of your pen there just give them a nice size landing board for gaining entry and you should be fine

they also need to train to the trap before you let them out...the wires are going to be a problem for them....the person you got them from should be able to help you out with them if you have questions....this site can help too. did you do any research before getting these birds.

I am glad most of your birds came home on their first release, I hope the remainder will show up today, and especially the one that may need some care. They can scrape their bellies bare or on those wires.

Thanks for the update.

Tullyking,

I'm going to move your post about the broken leg to the sick and injured forum where it will get faster responses.
