Have to agree with all that has been said, but with a little exception to all of Murrays, little bits from here and there can help tweak things a little so as I always say listen to it all and try what suits and works for you
Fair point, Buster, what I meant was when someone is given good advice, we don't need to chip in, just because we can.
Andy gave him some good advice, we can do well to leave it there, I think.
Murray wasn't having a knock mate, i was just highlighting say 5 people could give advice all good, but a little bit from each could be better, so a little tweak could go a long way

Yes, great advice Andy and we'll said Murray.
I'm not qualified to give advice Tony but the one thing I will add is if you want to tame them down a bit (not everyone does) but if you do.... only clean out when the birds are in the loft ( if you have the time of course)
The birds get used to you being around, I have some that will sit on my head and shoulders and ride on the scraper and have to push them out of the way to scrape the perches - not for everyone mate but I like to go in my loft and just be able to pick them off the perches without having to chase them around.
Thanks Dave, with these being late breds they'll have to get use to me for a while until they can be let out, hopefully I can tame a few, thanks for the tip it all helps

Thanks to everyone all your advice will be taken on board and what ever works for me I will use hopefully I can feedback to you in the coming months letting you know haw the birds are coming along.
I'm not sure how to put photos on here but when I can do it i'll pop some on of the loft progress and the birds i'm getting then you can all give me some feedback good or bad as it will all help.
