gnasher16 30,280 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 What about them kit boxes people keep the roller pigeons in though they are not much bigger than that are they.....there was a topic on here a while ago where a fella had made one he had about 12 birds in it if i remember right.......thought that was half the idea to keep them close.... as long as they are getting out regular.......dont know maybe im wrong that was just what i read into it.

gnipper 6,521 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Racers from the next village should go home from such a short distance. Get some young off them before you try the adults out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lucky 578 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Pigeons don't need much room really, there's no need for them to have flying space in a shed they can do all the flying they want when there let out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
