    hiya guys

    if ive done this photobucket lark right ?
    this is my new shed i made, 10' x 8' split into two sections 4' x 8' with a 2' corridor running front to back in between the two sections.

    boxes, perches, and birds all in just need to smarten up the front so its a bit more pleasing to the eye.

    would be easier i suppose, can you see were i was coming from with putting a sputnik on and off,

    wouldn't be using e t s , to early in my racing experiance to justify it, would be using a clock.

    Chris why dont you put a box trap on each side it will help you for young and old the young birds will be able to see the serounding to be able to home to the loft and the old birds can do the same for when you try to home them study study

    hi chris, two sputnicks would fit just right, but they are quite expensive really....thats why i made my own out of ply,

    cant you just add landing boards and bobs so they get get into their section...? you will need something for latecomers or birds which wont come in now and then........
