vperches are better.
box perches messes up the tail and feathers.
jom but i think box perches stress the birds causes it cramps them ina small area.

V perches for me also.
If you make your box perches just big anougth for them to stand in they will be ok bcause if a pigeons tail feathers are touching something they will not poo.
Thats why they turn around and pork there bums over the front edge and poo.
If there to big they will just poo all over the perches and get coverd in it.

Ron,
I have used box perches and V perches but these below are ones that never require scraping and the birds are always found facing the door.
I'm sorry I don't remember who the designer was or who sent this to me.

my next kit boxes are going to have V perches. They will not poo on eachother whereas with the box perches they end up being covered with poo. Trust Me

I like V-persches the thing with boxes you can put more birds in a kitbox .but you can put boxes with a slant perches in front of box to keep poo from hitting birds too I seen them like that....

Hey Kevin from Iowa,
Are you saying you are thinking of making the perches out of Aluminum ?
Hmmm.... I would think that it gets wayyy tooooo cold in Iowa for that. In the winter they will frost and you might have birds stuck to the perch..
Just my thoughts. I think I`d stick to the wooden or plastic perches. I`m in Indiana, and I know any metal I have outside frosts when it freezes.
Oh ya, and I like the box style perches, but thats just me...
