This view shows the pigeon crates in place to crate the birds on the other crating platform.

This system works even better if there are two people helping. One can do the inside part and the other person, usually Craig, takes care of the outside part. Curtis is usually the preferred helper. He carries the crates and loads the filled crates into the truck. Anytime Curtis can do the lifting, it helps ease the stress on Craig's back. Besides Curtis needs to develop some more upper body strength.

Craig enjoys having Curtis out in the lofts with him. He is a good helper and seems to like the pigeons. He has a few pair of his own.
