I am wanting to know if I could get the demensions of your Nesting boxes for Giant Runt Pigeons?

This box is like this would probably work. It is a plastic milk crate but at the dollar store. Plenty of room. Big enough for my chickens or their pigeons.

If you use this idea, you will need to make a solid bottom. Pigeons will not use it unless the bottom is solid. I use cardboard because it can be changed easily as needed. Cardboard is cheap.

I’ve never had an issue with pigeons using milk crates as nest boxes as long as a bowl is provided in the bottom for the nest itself. If you provide them with nesting material they’ll stuff the crate and make a nest also.

When I bred my giant runts they used a standard sized milk crate. It did wear on the male’s tail a little bit as he was slightly too big.
