The Pigeon Coup

Video Transcript

My name is Joseph Shung Chiang Lee I am the member of the Calcutta Racing Pigeon Club. Now I am going to deal with the subject of the loft. There are two types of loft; one is for the racing pigeon and one is for the bedding pigeons means the breeding coup. The size of the racing loft is minimum 8 feet in length, 5 feet in width and 6 feet in height. The building material can be wood and the wire mesh and on the top roof will be asbestos. Of course some people also build a loft with the bricks like you build houses and all that. Usually the loft is fully covered at the back and the side with only ¼ of the front open. We always prefer to face the loft to the south or to the east. The loft should always be covered from the north side because in the winter the north wind is very bad for the pigeons; the pigeon fall sick. We make the loft face south because in the winter you get the sunlight. For the bedding coup, the size of the bedding coup is 3 feet in length, 3 feet in width and 2 ½ feet in height. Then of course inside the loft we have boxes. For each pigeon, will each have a box that we made. The box will be about 1 feet in length and 1 feet in height and the planks of the wood uses about 5 inches.
