Cheers both.

Murray, yeah that's something I'll definitely be trying. I've not actually started moving them over yet, but I'll have a play with it before the move and see how they react to the new spot.

Devo, I've honestly not really looked into unconventional loft styles at all. I've just been ...

That's great news Matt - so will you be taking your old set up with you after all.....?


No, unfortunately I won't be taking old shed with me, it'll be coming down and either put in storage or sold!

So the old setup is a 12'x6' shed that will be too large and impose too much in the garden, so ...

Hey all,

So figured I give a bit of an update.

We have been accepted by the landlord at the new house, and they have said we can have the birds!

So with everything going wrong that could possibly go wrong, it's looking like I will be getting rid of my current setup (12*6) and replacing it with two 8*6 lofts.
