It has to be big enough for a pigeon to walk throughis all but it seems more convenient if it is somewhere near 12 inches at least.

The entrance on my coop is 12" w x 10" h.

The uplandbirddog.com plans say 10'' x 10'' .... thats what my door is in the loft I just built. I actually just pushed one through the door about 2 minutes ago...seemed to be plenty of room.

mtlee,

How are the PVC bobs on the coop working out? Have the pigeons gotten used to them?

I've never given a though to how big that opening should be. So I went out and measured my small loft. The re-enrty opening is 8"Hx 7"W. Probally a bit small but work's fine. Landing platform outside but not in.

I haven't let them fly yet since they've only been in that loft since Sunday night. I did put one on the platform today and kept a hand on it. He/she headed straight for the bobs and I gave it a nudge through. The bobs seem to work fine, but I won't know for sure until I let them fly.

I use PVC bobs and they are fine.

Mine are 10" wide by 12" tall and made from half inch pvc. I paint all my doors purple and bobs orange to make it easier to find for them. It seems top help the birds that have only flown a few times make their way back in.

Ace,

Just like the ones pictured above but mine are still white. I did mount mine in a frame that I can set in any of the windows that are in different pens in the loft.
