Hi Carlo, im not trying to be the bad guy here, i am just pointing out a few things dont get mad at me ok you are the only guy that has the right setup on the loft you made a very nice landing board and the right size, most people make them so small like a postage stamp im sure you know how to break in a young bird team most guys dont have a clue at what there doing. you dont have to prove anything to me, those pics of your birds every one of them looked real sharp and very healthy

I know . I’m not disagreeing with you on my loft being over crowded. I originally made the coop for 12-20 birds. I know an over crowded loft causes stress which can cause sickness. I have had birds my whole life and so has my father. I keep the loft clean and the birds are out every day.

How was the military able to train them to home to mobile lofts?

Hi Carlo,

My loft is about the same size as yours, but I can only fit the most 12 birds.
I wish I could fix more, what type of perches do you use?
How to you organize your nest boxes and perches to accommodate so many birds?
Does each bird have a perch?

Thanks

I really like this little loft! Is it good?

Hi, that loft is not wide enough 4ft more would be ok and the birds should not just fly in from the trap there should be a landing board at least 10 inches wide so they walk in on the board then go to there nest box or perch, he does not have a landing inside his loft cause the loft is not wide enough he should have put up a board with hinges on it so he could put it up or down

So, if I built a loft like, say, yours @mercedes15 , is it big enough for the birds if they're not flown every day? I have a long, cold (-32 was last years coldest.), dark, winter.

Does anyone have sputnik plans? For a small one? How wide? How tall?
