Frank thinks of himself as a property entrepreneur and currently is trying to use the nest box next door as a holiday home. With boxes in short supply he simply cannot commandeer two! It has now reached the point where he’s having an enforced inside vacation whilst his new neighbours get settled 🫠

Meet the residents: Smokey Joe

Smokey Joe came to us as part of a larger group of rescues after being found on the streets. He’s a tiny tumbler mix with one working eye. Joe’s tame and well handled; whoever loved him first placed a pink metal ring on his leg but sadly this wasn’t traceable.
It’s lovely that Joe isn’t afraid of humans but it does make daily cleaning challenging because in Joe’s mind, it’s all about him.
If you enter shed 2 he’ll be waiting to show you his best moves; lambada, cha-cha or a two step. He can do them all. Unfortunately I think Joe’s dancing career was over before it began.. the problem is that when you’re blind in one eye, you don’t always stick the landing. The falling over and the falling off things aside, he still gets a 10/10 from us.
Smokey Joe is married to Lady Edith.

Despite trying not to take on any more birds we have 3 new residents.
Originally from kinder bird rescue, they’ve spent time at
Sadly this month we lost another pigeon sanctuary with the announcement littlegreenpigeon sanctuary closing.

They will now spend their forever with us here and I’ll be posting updates about them as we get to know their quirks.

Future plans:

We are looking at adding another shed in this space, if I bring my woodworking A game (or most likely get my Dad to build it) hopefully I can join this either side to create a lovely warm walk way with two full banks of boxes between each shed.

Despite my best intentions - we are slightly short on disabled boxes and rapidly running out of floor space in the current lofts.
There are pigeons desperate for long term homes and we get multiple messages a day so hopefully this will help us to help a few more…. Not too many - I’m running out of names 😂

The new shed will be around 7ft by 6ft with extra height so that it gives lots of flying space and plenty of head room!
As many of you know, we never cut corners so these sheds are always new, extra thick cladding for warmth, raised floors for ventilation and damp prevention plus painted to keep them water tight and clean.

The cost of which is never cheap. Current quotes are around £1000 for the shed. Fitting it out with boxes will be extra 💰

As always - what pigeons need, pigeons get! No holidays, Extra shifts at work, cutting back on food costs etc but this only goes so far!

So;
To anyone who loves pigeons.
To anyone who has lots of extra pennies they don’t need or wants to buy some funky pigeon cards etc
To anyone who’s committed atrocities against mankind and needs a good cause to donate to in order to make up for it.
