Travel box

[Simon.Wyatt]

HI TO ALL AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

I need some info if you would so kind. I have looked back at old threads and i am on my 6th book and i have only found one set of dimensions for a travel box.

It needs to house a male HH.

Many Thanks

JPJ training birds of prey gives sensible sizes.

thats one of the books i have read and the only one to give any dimensions.

I laid it out at those sizes and it look to long but not tall enough to me.

If you want a good box look on my website on the Links page and go to Raptor Box and have a look at their boxs, I find it much easier to buy one than make it plus they are easy to clean and disinfect.

Do you not find that they get a bit foisty in the summer Terry? I tried one and didnt like the sweaty smell that came from it after a days use.

I've not really had that problem K but if your are finding this problem can you not drill some extra ventilation holes in it?
I think if you contacted Paul he might be able to give you more info on how to resolve the problem.
My birds are not in the box for long periods and mainly we are hunting Falcons and they just sit on the cadge with their hoods on whilst out.
Perhaps another Forum member can throw more light on this than I can.

Could do but I must admit Im a bit old fashioned and build my own. The plastic one was on loan, just to try.

Oh yeah Silicon inside to stop water from getting into the joins or not?? My concering is bird pecking at it!!
