Mews conversion

[SPAR 2]

I got bored and converted my mews for the Spar today as the cold weather will soon be hear.

I am still debaiting wether to put pea shingle back in as it will break every tail feather on the bird I was also going to open up a section of the roof with the same idea as a swinging door but I couldn't be assed.

Please dont rip the s*** out of me with the size of the mews as I know I have a big Spar and she nearly touches the side as she flys 11ft from one end to the other.

been speaking to a guy who keeps owls on my ice cream round and he said that he uses hay in the winter instead of shingle. he said dont break feathers and it keeps the frost out a little better.

thought i might try it but im not sure. what does everyone else think?????????

Mites? it can also be very dusty so it may be worth keeping an eye out for Asper

true. wont bother then. his are in a 15x15 open flight so the dust wont be s much of a prob for him i suppose. i wonder if any where sells big enough rolls of astro turf that doesnt cost a bomb. or maybe some sort of rubber matting. i suppose its trial and error for new or better floor. i know a lot of people just use the soil.

personally I wouldn't give a monkeys what people say about shingle. I use 30mm and 40mm shingle and never had any problems with feather damage all the damage, if any has been done out in the field.
