Count responsibilities as well as perches

Before adding rollers, assess the care your current birds already require. Look at usable space, access to feed and water, cleaning time, observation capacity, and secure health-separation arrangements. An empty perch does not by itself establish that the loft can comfortably accommodate another bird or a whole kit.

Observe ordinary access

Watch whether all existing birds can use essential resources without repeated conflict or obstruction. Note difficult-to-clean areas and equipment bottlenecks. Ask an experienced keeper and avian veterinarian for guidance appropriate to your enclosure and birds. Avoid treating a single general space figure as a complete answer for every loft.

Plan the arrival separately

New birds require an appropriate receiving and health-observation plan before any integration. Confirm the seller's current information and your own ability to maintain separation as advised. Do not borrow space from an already crowded group or rely on an improvised container for an open-ended stay. Consider the time and supplies as well as the physical enclosure.

Make waiting a valid option

Write down what must be ready before the purchase or transfer. That may be a completed repair, a better care schedule, or qualified advice about the existing setup. Confirm current availability only when you are ready to discuss realistic arrangements. The site's buyer guides help with questions about the birds; this check helps answer the equally important question of what your loft can support. A carefully timed addition is more useful than a rushed purchase that leaves daily care stretched.

I’ve been around pigeons my entire life.  My dad learned from the old timers in Germany as a kid and won his first homing pigeon race at the age of 15.  He immigrated to USA at age 20.  He introduced me to all the workings of his loft when I was just 6 yrs old.  I’ve been hooked ever since.  Pigeons are a part of my identity.
