Could anyone tell me how to make a bob trap door. Not all my rollers come home at the same time, and I hate to give feast to a nasty hawk.
Thanks.

You can purchase the bob's from a pigeon supply store online and install them in front of an opening in your loft.

just a note ..hawks can go thru a bob trap too so its not smart to leave it open if your not there

bob trap

Thanks, but I am trying to build one. If a hawk goes in he will not be coming out on his own.

maybe not but hes not leaving without leaving any victims as well, they arent the only things that can enter your trap too while is its left open it could get real ugly in there when you leave things open

Hahahahahaha
Its funny you say that!
I have cams setup inside and outside my loft.
So I can watch my birds while I am at work

I use old notebook IR security camera and wireless to monitor my sick birds too. This way I don't need to switch lights or move out of house. Technology is here, we can use it! For some time actually I'm thinking of RF tagging pigeons, they presently do it with catle. Shouldn't be a problem.

I took a remote control servo and hooked it to my bob trap and can lock and unlock my bob trap from inside my house it works pretty good
