I made my own box aviary traps I guess they won’t last as long but I made them to how I wanted them only a box frame so no great skill it can’t be if I did them
Ideal to bath in or let late ones in I just have a hinged frame with polycarbonate behind them to close them down when the cocks are on widowhood
I always used smaller wire than what’s comes with the aluminium traps
I have thought of getting a small unit, and knocking some loft equipment up. A friend of mine as a factory for metal fabrication, i deal for making some aluminium traps up, and also some aviaries. I may look into it.
Could be a goer Dev, good luck with it
Thanks Buster, it might be worth ago. We will see.

Absolutely.
I made this trap out of 42x19mm dressed pine, a plywood base and some mesh. Liberal coats of paint protect it and hide the poor joinery
I recently went wild and bought some new drinkers for the pigeons, after using home made ones for years and years.
Having flash expensive stuff is nice, but won't make you a good fancier. That comes from within.

A good job done there Murray, clean and tidy work. It looks a strong bit of making mate.
