How to build pigeon coop on the tree | New home for the birds
1. Choose the right plant
- Choose a healthy plant: Choose a large, sturdy tree with deep roots and healthy branches. Avoid plants that show signs of decay or have pests.
- Height and location: The plant should be in a quiet location, not too tall for easy access and maintenance of the aviary, but tall enough to avoid predators such as cats or mice.
2. Design Planning
- Cage size: Determine the cage size based on the number of pigeons you want to keep. A standard cage for 2-4 pigeons is usually about 60cm x 60cm x 60cm.
- Ventilation and light: Make sure the barn has ventilation openings and small windows to catch natural light. This keeps the space cool and prevents mold.
- Entrance: Design the entrance just large enough for pigeons to enter and exit easily, but not too large to prevent other animals from entering.
3. Material Preparation
- Wood: Use good quality wood, like pine or birch wood, that has been treated to fight termites.
- Steel wire: To fasten pieces of wood and attach the barn to the tree.
- Screws and screws: Choose high-quality type to ensure durability and safety.
- Waterproof fabric: Used to cover the roof of the barn, protect from rain and sun.

- Build the barn frame: Cut the pieces of wood to the planned size. Use screws and screws to join the pieces of wood together into the cage frame.
- Attach the wire mesh: Wrap the cage with wire mesh to create ventilation and prevent birds from flying out.
- As a canopy: Attach waterproof fabric to the roof of the barn to protect it from rain. Make sure the roof is tilted so that rainwater can drain easily.
- Make doors: Doors should have strong hinges and locking pins to protect pigeons.
5. Attach the barn to the tree
- Use steel wire: Firmly attach the barn to the branches with steel wire, making sure the barn is securely attached and does not wobble.
- Safety Check: Recheck the entire structure to make sure the barn is not tilted and can withstand bad weather.
6. Finishing and Decorating
- Interior decoration: Place hay or soft material for nesting pigeons. Small ornamental plants can be placed to create a natural environment.
- Regular inspections: Regularly inspect the barn to ensure there are no signs of damage or danger.
7. Invite the pigeons
- Attract birds: Leave food and water in the cage to attract the first pigeons.
- Observe: Observe the pigeon's adaptation to the new home, and make adjustments if necessary so that they have the most comfortable habitat.
Good luck in building a new home for the tree pigeons!
