| yes i could but it soaks the loft floor which isnt good, and wet/damp in the loft is something i dont want so the birds not having a bath for a few weeks is less of a problem than the loft floor getting soaked. |

have done sometimes, used corn sacks which do help but the water still goes all over the place so not worth it as far as im concerned, the last thing i want is a damp, wet loft especially in this weather. |
