Thanks a lot guys for the comments..
The first kit box took me about 4 days to build the actual kit and then about 20-25 for the flight pen.. I have been quite busy in between.. The dimensions of the first loft are 20' x 8' including the flight pen.. and the second one is 4' x 4' with a 4' x 8' aviary for when I have to lock down.. I build the lofts and my dad gets the supplies for me! :D I'm fine with that lmao.. The second one is housing some birds right now and the first one is empty... The big one is in the backyard and the kit box/loft (first one) is in the front yard. I built the first one by myself.. but I needed a little bit of help with the second one :) (the breeders loft)

Right now, as you can see the big loft, I am not able to build perches in there because the coopers come diving in and hit the screen. The coopers/sharp-shinned camp out near by in a tree and freak the birds out.. I don't know what to the do because of these hawks and I am not allowed to do anything about it.. I see hawks everyday (about 3-4)..

Maybe you could put lattice over the wire! It would still let lots of daylight and fresh air in, but it would be less obvious from a distance, what you have in there! Just thinking out loud here!

Hey guys thanks for the comments!
The wood is not petrified, I put 3 coats of very good stain on it to preserve it.. LOL Kel. my parents would never let me build more.. lol And my parents won't let me buy my own pigeon materials.. (wood, food, rollers..) They tell me to save my own money! They are very supportive of it too! :)

kopetsa...Real nice job. Your birds should be very happy in thier new loft. One suggestion: You might want to put one of those plastic OWLS on one corner of your loft. Lots of people put one in their gardens or if they have a small pond. They seem to ward off any of the BOP.. Here in Ohio many of the guys that raced our birds had them. It just might HELP.
Good luck
