Weather today

been raining here all day without a break

stopped now, very cold and wet outside ......... no snow as such, just slush

still raining here not stopped now for 48 hrs just had Oxfordshire on the news about the rain

snow melting now, lots of rain about.

george there's some lovely nestboxes and little aviary for sale in BHW OXford 01865 773060 they look new and £10 per box professionally made.

mine won't use the nest boxs Colin bought set of 4 £120 only one bird has nest in them

are you sure that one cock bird hasn't claimed the whole column George forcing the rest to nest on the floor or elsewhere?

no Colin the birds just don't like them reason why chap sold them think next year will put them in the other loft the one bird that has a nest is top box

try shutting part of the fronts off with cardboard or similar, make them darker. Pigeons prefer somewhere a bit hidden away, more private. If they're open front or dowelled they'll be light. I had to do this on some of mine this year just pinned some card up, and the birds that were jumping out them all the time changed overnight.

i did do that Colin maybe it was my fault when i removed the fronts
