does anyone trap their own pigeons to train their dogs with? just wondering what plan or company you use for the traps? And also is it really worth catching them vs. buying them?

I built my own trap. Then built a coop. It's like a whole new hobby.

Anyone want to post up pics of their coops? I'm thinking about building a small one.

How hard is that to clean DoubleB20?
I'll take a Black Female every time.

Not hard at all. I just use a rake and scrape it out. I like to put pine shavings in the floor to help keep it clean. Use a scraper to clean out the nest boxes - not bad at all and it makes great fertilizer/mulch. The main problem with the shavings is they like to make their nests on the floor. Fine with me, they aren't the smartest birds.
