SHIPPING CONTAINERS When shipping birds please don't jam more than 3 birds in the cut down 2 bird boxes and new 2 bird boxes. Pigeons produce more heat than what people realize. This can cause the birds to be stressed and dehydrated. There are not enough holes for the heat to escape and fresh air to come in. Also, when the boxes are cut down they are squared and allows the post office to stack boxes tight together blocking the air holes making the situation even worse. We have received a couple dead birds this year due to overcrowding in the shipping boxes. I understand shipping costs have gone up dramatically but, it is better to use two boxes than one if need be.
