I can’t understand it mate. Really don’t know why you are having this problem. Does it only happen overnight? I would be interesting to put a night camera up to see what’s going on.

What on earth is going on there?
Never heard of such a thing. The odd bit of scrapping, yes, but this is terrible.
Are your pigeons homed in, Buster? Maybe they need some exercise to burn up some energy.

Mate, that's awful.
I was telling Catherine about it, how one of the blokes on the UK site is having nests and eggs smashed.

She asked, " You never have that happen?"
No, I said. These things would breed underwater.

Seriously though, in my shed a pair of eggs is a pair of rings needed.
I wish I had an answer for Buster, because I feel so sorry for him.

Murray I get odd one or two here and there but never nothing like this, I did couple years ago have a lot get broken but not on this scale, in the summer I am going to have a go at making some up and overs see if that helps
