[Image ID: A photograph taken from the inside of a pigeon loft, an aviary wire and fir wood structure with various pigeon comforts; a metal shelf, a square blue food bowl, a bath, perches and mirrors. The photo is primarily meant to showcase the new flooring of the pigeon loft, decking tiles made of acacia wood with an alternating pattern. Outside the loft in the background of the photo are a pile of garden tools, cardboard boxes, and junk, including a green milk crate and a pair of rainbow tiedye patterned crocs. End ID]
so, I broke my camera by dropping a screwdriver point first with uncanny precision on the lens. i’m a fucking moron. however! NEW flooring laid in the loft that I found on discount at the hardware shop ($15 p/m2 = $60 for the whole loft) it is an upgrade on the sand and paver combo (which are still underneath, forming a foundation) because it can be pressure washed and it drains freely and dries fast. it covers almost edge to edge, with only a slight gap on one edge. the birds are no longer suspicious of it, but it took them a fair amount of glaring and flapping to trust it. this might be the last major loft upgrade for the season, as winter has been extremely cold and wet so far and working out there is a misery!!
