Sorry to hear this Rob , this is why I store my corn in drums . I'm sure you'l be bouncing back in no time at all

and too much linseed causes a laxative effect a pinch per bird per day enough to be use sparingly

try them and empty yer wallet , then you be a few £££'s down and know better B12 is a good supplement

Sent an email here's reply : Hi Mark Thanks for your email - I'm working with the Raptor Alliance and Countryfile to respond to comments made in the programme. I'm angling for some positive coverage of pigeon racing within the programme, particularly as we were recently visited by a writer on its magazine. Rest assured I'll do all that's possible to try and turn this around into a positive media opportunity for the sport.
