Pigeon Lofts & Hardware

[hillfamilyloft]

I would recommend that you widen the loft a bit for more room. Go to lovebirds loft and look at their widowhood loft. This would also give you a good idea for a breeding loft with two section. You could put an aviary below the aviary with the trap to help you separate birds. When and if I build another loft I will most likely use this design built on the top of a car type trailer. This way it would be mobile.

I modified these plans to make a small "kit" type loft.

Here's my result:







I've made a few changes since the photo was taken but it's pretty much the same. I don't use bottom doors like the plans suggest and I have only had one "problem" (I think it was a cat). I'll fix that once the weather gets a bit warmer.

Here's some rough plans I drew up:

Is this loft/cage big enough for two un-releasable pigeons? It is 4'Dx 2'Wx 3'H. The enclosed box part is 2'Dx 2'W. I currently have one female feral, over the hump with PMV, that cannot fly without crashing. She may enjoy life more with company, and I wonder if another like pigeon, preferably female, would fit. Suggestions or thoughts welcomed.

ahhh that is cute!...I think another would be fine in there if they got along well and you may need to clean it more often, but it is right at the limit for 2 I would think...can the pigeon get up to a perch? if so that would be a good thing to put in there, if not, a brick to sit on would help and her nails would get filed down from getting on the brick...she would most likely benifit from having a pigeon companion....good luck

This is a must...Change the floor to galvanized screen like the one you use for their aviary, so the cat can't get a hold of your bird/s...
