Hi All,
And hi, Aldo Ross. Well done on your timber braced masonry Pigeonnier. Fine weathering on your many-shingled roof, too. I can smell the lavender from here.
If PasKal is looking for other ideas regarding interesting pigeon houses, he might like to know about the pigeon house on the stern of America's first aircraft carrier, the USS Langley, CV1. As I was unable to find a photograph of the house as originally built, the attached photograph shows the old pigeon house after all the poop had been swept out and it had been made fit to serve as the executive officers quarters.
In the days before carrier aircraft had effective radios, pigeons were placed aboard the planes before takeoff. After paper messages detailing position and observations were attached to their bodies, the pigeons were released from the planes to fly back to the Langley. A short-lived program, the Langley pigeon house remains an odd quirk in the history of American naval aviation.
Pigeons on the boat, afloat.
Score and fold,
Thumb Dog
