are you going to be converting your old mews? have you any pics of that to put up,might be able to give some pointers then :wink:

[MTR46]

Yes its a convert basicaly its a 6x6x6 shed with a 5x3 open front with welded mesh full of pea gravel.

Here's mine it's been extended to make two mews one either side of the shed I hope it's some help.

sounds alright as it is-just remove the mesh & replace with plastic pipes vertically & attach some netting over it

what about perches

[BFC 007]

shelf perch high at the back & a perch running the entire width at the front in line with the bottom of the bars(maybe 6"" from the front to stop the bird poking there heads out)

[MTR46]

for example ply covered in astroturf ? do you free loft your birds

yeah ply's ok for the shelf perch with astroturf on & a piece of 4x2 for the front perch with astro on. i freeloft the falcons once they are manned & trained-about a week into there flying & they get turned loose with no problems.

il get mi tackle out pardon the expression

[BFC 007]

sounds like you just need a few minor adjustments & it will be done :wink:

[MTR46]

what about food shoots do you feed them this way or to the fist

[BFC 007]

never bothered with food chutes for falcons,even in the moult i just throw there food in. Never had a screamer yet lol

[MTR46]

that sounds good if you have any do s and donts for training please reply thanks
