Hello Purple People 💜

Like to share an upgrade we presented & a Potential starter unit for Wannabes!
Raised an old Heath Castle, converted to 6/dbl Cubys, in 2018. PM flocked to it, producing young in 18 n 2019, but lack of nest trays made Maintenance Challenging at best, having nest trays may have spoiled me 😀

So went to work n replaced it with a diy rack & a set of 6 Chalets, (individual Cubys) Using existing winch pole.
All were occupied in spring 2020 & produced 29 young, and with better separation, No porch Domination issues! Very Satisfying 😊
