I have a microscope somewhere, will have to dig it out and see if it's any use.

Women sometimes eat coal when they are pregnant, is that tae keep the baby sweet? ;D ;D ;D ;D

Aye so will I, great for the kids but they'll be going off for weeks yet.

ha ha ha do you really do that or r u just pulling my leg?

Is there a list available with all the bird shows on it as of when and where? And if so where can this be obtained? Does anyone know?

and did it work?

Aye our birds are just taking it in their stride, but like you our staffie is going about the house whining.

Just would like to know how everyones birds are copeing with the fireworks, do they seem more stressed or not really?

Yes I would tend to think it was for the grit too.

Hi samantha, welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy meeting people, talking pigeon, and having fun. ;D

Was that just recently? They might still turn up.

:o HOW COULD YOU :o

Yes congratulations, sugar n spice and all things nice.

I never knew to move the minerals and grit out when treating, does that mean we've waisted oor time in treating them and do we have to do it all again?

Aye oor birds go daft for the black minerals,we cannae keep them going on it, should we have a limit as to the amount o minerals that we give them? or do we give them an unlimited supply of it.

Does anyone know, is there a certain amount of salt in the minerals we feed them? ;D

We usually keep ours in for at least 3 to 4 weeks, also like to get them out into avairy during that period to let them see all around them. When we break birds into a dovecote, we also keep them in for 3 to 4 weeks but we cage or net the dovecots so as they can go in and out it and see all around them.
