Pigeon Loft Design

Just imagine after building the pigeon loft of champions you find out that  you overlooked a vital element to your pigeons racing success. To make matters  worse you found out because of this missing element you have lost several key  races and if nothing is done your pigeons will continue to lose.

You may be  thinking to yourself this is an extreme what could be that important.

Let me  tell you my friend in racing pigeon’s one key element off of your loft can be  the means to winning or loosing.

Okay I think I given you enough reason to at least keep reading to find out  what the key element is. The element I am referring to here is the pigeon perch.  Now believe me, I didn’t realize the importance of this element either but  believe me it is pivotal for your loft since the comfort of your pigeons depends  on it.

Now the exact type of your pigeon perch will be different due to your breed  of pigeon. In most cases racing pigeons and fancy pigeons that look like racers  will and should have the same kind of perch.

The most common measurements for  these perches are approximately 10 inches square, with a depth ranging about 5  inches. These kinds of perches are commonly known as “box perches”. In more  cases than not these perches can be built in units and will fit smoothly into  the wall space at the back of your loft section.

Now take note these box pigeon perches are not really made for fancy pigeons  with more fluffy feathered legs. The reason being their feathers would easily  become dirty from the droppings. For this factor you should make a pigeon perch  that will allow your more feathered fancy to stand comfortably, without risking  his plumage getting damaged or dirty.

Now since the box perch will not be suitable in this case it is highly  recommend that you should think of designing the inverted “v” perch. These are  the best for the fancy breeds.Depending on your preference and what seems like  the norm of most fanciers many perches are designed as floor units. There are  pro’s and cons to this design but ultimately the decision is yours.

Now please pay attention because this is  important:  Perches are one of the key elements you must have  for your racing pigeon  loft but it is not the exclusive element. There are others that with  the constraints of an article I could not disclose. Now I will be remiss if I  did not give you this http://tinyurl.com/338vgxx/ as you clink on the link you  will see all you need for your racing pigeon loft.
