Dave - you clever chap, I love your dove cote. Wish we could have doves, but my hubby would have a funny turn if I suggest any more animals at present.

the wood is just soft wood but well coated in a weatherproof varnish each opening has a seperate room for the birds and yes some people paint them white but i prefer them natural wood colour

Beautiful! I really fancy one of those, can you get inside to clean out the nesting areas easily?

Just wondering if the centre of the dove cot is hollow, or if the birds have seperate compartments? Is it easy to clean? Could we have the dimensions?

How scary are they on the delivery front? I have one in mind for a relative in Berkshire- would they go postal or would i need to come and pick up if I ordered one?
