yes ive noticed dampness using easibed, I pick droppings up and rake over alternate days but I find under the perches where most of the droppings are tend to get damp if left for more than a couple of days.....I presume pigeons do no piss, only do droppings which have a certain degree of moisture in them which seeps into the bedding and makes a damp patch if left.

when I rake over I sprinkle a hand full of white floor dressing under the perches to try minimise any dampness, I also add a bucket of fresh bedding to each section once a week.

Not pigeon related, but well chuffed with the out come, re done the wife's dolls house this afternoon,
Considering it came out of a skip with no front, I made the front and bought the windows and doors off eBay

I remember using lime in the 80`s terrible stuff it was........would get in the back of my throat and nose, I now use the versa laga columbine floor whitener for perches and nest boxes, I also sprinkle and mix a bit with the easibed under the perches as it soaks up any damp if there is any.
