WIDOWHOOD BOXES This box, which can be used both for widowhood and for breeding, offers the pigeon fancier the ideal conditions for a successful racing season. Quality and functionality rank first. For the body, we use a 16 mm thick spruce natural wood panel. Only natural glue is used in the production of this panel. Furthermore, the spruce natural wood panel absorbs significantly more moisture than other materials. Our front doors are made of pine solid wood and are expertly connected with mortise and tenon. The seat strips are made of beech hardwood. The powder coated wire grids are chamfered front and rear. This provides additional stability. Due to the arrangement of the box compartments next to one another and the mutual opening of the compartments, the pigeons can orient themselves much better than in a box with only one front door. Furthermore, two pigeons can always be locked separately from each other. This is very important when mating. The fact that we offer these boxes in five different sizes ensures that they fit practically into every pigeon loft. For better orientation, we offer front doors in four different colors. These boxes have proved to be extremely successful with top breeders at home and abroad. THE FOLLOWING VARIATIONS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE SEPARATION DOOR IN THE CENTER OF THE BOX: Separation door with pass rear Separation door with pass front Motivation separation door for dimming For space saving storage, the box inset can be collapsed. THE FOLLOWING VARIATIONS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE FRONT GRILLES: Front door with color filling Front door with natural filling Front door with bars 3
MOTIVATION BOXES WITH DARK SECTION This box offers the pigeon fancier many possibilities of motivation during the racing season.

In the middle of the box there is a motivation separation door in order to completely darken the box half.
