Crates/Release Chapel
Training Baskets
Light weight handmade training basket with a top end loading door and side release door. The training basket measurements are 28 1/2" X 17 1/2" X 10" high and comfortably holds 15-20 homer size pigeons. Sides are made with heavy plastic mesh which I have found holds up extremely well over time (doesn't rip or discolor like many cloth or vinyl sided crates).
Price is $60 plus shipping full size training basket.
Price is $45 plus shipping 1/2 size training basket.
Due to the size of the full size training crate and box it must be shipped in, it is a higher shipping cost than one would normally expect. Even though the actual shipping weight of the crate/shipping box is less than 10lbs, due to the overall shipping measurements it is charged as if it was 44lbs. being shipped. You may however buy either two one foot feeders, one two foot feeder, or up to two dozen perches that may be shipped along inside the crate for no additional shipping cost.
Full sized training crate with heavy plastic mesh sides which hold up extremly well againast normal wear and tear and isn't harmful to bird's feathers.
This is very popular with the fanciers, and holds up extremely well under the everyday stress while at the same time not harmful to bird's feathers. Pictured above is 1/2 sized training basket which comfortably hold up to 8 homer size pigeons with end release door. Measurements are are 18 1/2" X 17 1/2" X 10" high.
Four-Hole Basket
Handcrafted four hole carrying case that works great for separating birds when transporting them to a show, or transporting widowhood cocks for the racing pigeon fancier. The carrying case is light weight, with dimensions of 13" wide by 27" long a solid wood floor and solid base side that runs up towards the top of the crate to avoid the mess of wood shavings/straw getting all over. This is a must for racing lofts flying widowhood or fancy lofts showing birds!!!

There is one self loading door located on top for the open basket, and two individual self loading doors on the two hole basket.

Side view of Single Bird Release Chapel
With the growing popularity of white bird releases at weddings/funerals/memorials, I offer a custom designed chapel that is for a one bird or three-four bird (trinity) release. As you can see from the pictures, these hand designed chapels have great craftsmanship along with alot of thought put into them. The doors are built so as to allow only one bird at a time to exit the chapel when released in order to maximize the train effect of the birds in flight. The bell at the top of the church, steeple with cross on it, and corrugated roof make this release chapel as authentic as you can get. This chapel is a must for any serious release business. Both chapel sizes are light weight and can easily fit in the front seat of a car.
Price is $69.95 plus shipping for Single Bird Chapel unpainted
Price is $99.95 plus shipping for Three-Four bird Chapel unpainted
Painted Single Bird Chapel is additional $25 and $35 for Trinity Chapel (3-4 birds)
Painted chapels are first primed, then double coated with semi-gloss ultra white latex paint that is made for indoor/outdoor use. I offer the option of painted or non-painted chapels as I have some in the release business request chapels that they could stain or paint another color. The stained chapels I have found resemble the older country style churches.
Four Hole Carrier with individual water/food cup holders for each compartment
Light weight carrier with excellent craftsmanship. This crate is ideal when flying widowhood in racing, or transporting birds to a show that is any significant distance. The fold out tray holds regular dixie cups that can be bought at any Walmart or Target store.
Price is $85 plus shipping
