Rock Dove update

This morning I found a dead pigeon in the breeder loft, it was IF 2004 Scholar 1192. Don't know what happened to this bird, he was not one of the birds that I recently vaccinated.

I've been doing some work with the pigeons and the lofts. I've moved most of my 2007 race team to my old bird loft. This weekend I've built an aviary, landing board, and some nest boxes for the old bird loft. It's working out pretty well although the birds don't like being moved.

I am also working on the young bird loft, today I installed a landing board/trap entrance on the end of the loft. This will allow me to close up the aviary and give birds access to the aviary while still permitting birds to trap into the loft.
