This week when buying my usual feeding, an angry fancier appeared with a bag of beans, he claimed were "recently" being put into the mix he always buys. These beans were very pale, weightless and certainly did not look very appertising. He then produced a bowl of beans that he said up untill lately were the ones being used in this mix, these beans were of chesnut brown colour, shiny, and certainly looked of good quality. His point was,,, that now we are paying ever increasing prices, and yet the quality of this mix had detereorated. Has anyone else experienced a deterioration in a pigeon mix? :-/
