This is a topic i have always enjoyed, i spent so many hours daily with my birds. I buzzed off keeping my loft clean, it was not a chore it was a delight. Here is a little video for those that wish to watch.

Looked nice. Obviously just been cleaned out. A lot of limestone flour spread around. I doubt that is done every day. During the winter I clean out once a day then once the daylight hours allow I clean out twice a day. I like George tend not to clean the nest boxes very often while rearing youngsters but because of the watery droppings I have been cleaning them twice a day.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.
Yes, the man has been going to town with the floor dressing. 
I am like Devo, I enjoy cleaning out the loft. My scraper is the most important tool in the shed. My nest boxes are the same size as a tabloid newspaper and I put paper in the boxes and replace it as required. Some of them are messy buggers and some of them are very clean.
I am lucky living here, the weather is usually warm and humidity is normally not too high so keeping the loft clean and dry is not hard.

Greetings from the land down under.
I do enjoy cleaning the birds out, I find it therapeutic and it's a good way of watching the birds !! I would clean them out every day if I didn't have to go to workMurray wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2024 8:38 pm Yes, the man has been going to town with the floor dressing.
