I use Naturaline in the water.Initially for seven days then once or twice a week.very good for the respiratory,digestive and urinary tracts.Also very good for Young birds.

do u use herbs like what u put in cooking?

Milton Saturday & Sunday Cider vinegar Monday Tuesday Aviform  then on. happy with that

I heard about giving something called "Amino Fuel" made for humans. Does anyone know the doseage?

do u use herbs like what u put in cooking? for the tea

you can use " columbine tea" which is made up of herbs, esspecialy for pigeons.
but it all costs money westy, so weigh up the odds and ask yourself if its worth it

Jimmy,

Some fanciers won't buy "Columbine tea" and make their own human tea......when its cool down then give it to the birds......thats what i heard from a fancier from Stockport.


We uses Columbine tea  

your quite right speight, you can make it up yourself, but is it really worth it ,its up to the induvidual fancier,i give mine tea as they dont get out, and cant get a pick, on the ground outside

We only give them in the moulting season. but i heard it's good to give them once a week when its racing season.

I likes the smelling of Columbine tea  and the pigeons love it. Jimmy

I LIKE WHISKY IN MY WATER, AND IT MAKES U FEEL GREAT, BUT ITS INSTANT, AND U FEEL HORRIBLE THE NEXT DAY SO NO GOOD FOR GIVING TO THE BIRDS (FEATHERED ONES) THE DAY BEFORE,  LOL

but what you can buy from the supermarket to make a tea up with.

  PG or TYPHOO ?

It's up to you. Ted

thanks

With the threat of the authorities putting my water on a meter, anyone got any tips on how I can dilute it, make it go further!!!

DO U JUST PREPARED THE TEA LIIKE A NORMAL TEA BUT WITH OUT MILK OR SUGER

I only use garlic ,cider vinegar and honet on return from racing have never found the need to use anything else in the water. I put minerals and brewers yeast on the feed dampened with a little lemon juice. The less you put in the water the better then it does not restrict the amount of water the birds will take, as some are not keen to drink with anything added.

i agree with shadow, but as i say i give mine tea as they dont get out and get a pick of the natural herbs outside,,,when i raced them ,i gave them tea on a sunday with sugar in it, they seemed to like it better like that [true]but looking back, was there any need for it/ ?  the sugar would have benefited them better after the race.
  
tony,c was a brilliant post, but you could allways try whisky, it does make the water go further, try it ,ill bet your happy after trying that tip hic

THE MONKEYS USE PG TIPS -LOL
