i got a towel heater its a flat heater and is about 2 ft square it cost me £25 about 2 yrs ago and is ideal !only use it when very cold and found it cheap to run , when you look at any heater look for the lowest wattage , mine is 240 watts hope this helps !! these heaters are only half inch thick !!

i also use rain water for there baths with a tsaspoon of virkon s in it ! they are soft feathering ,

advice please could you use the rain water from a water butt for the pigeons to drink ? it do s come from the roof , but filters through a filter sock , witch catch s all debri , but concerned about any baccteria etc, witch will be in it !can it be sterilized ? and what could you use !! thanks.

just been informed about a new disease going round, symptoms are like one eyed cold , one or two fanciers round this area have it , just wondering if anyone else has herd of it !! thats all we need !!
-
helo mate , ive had this , its adeno coli ! clear wet droppings with a black worm type fecis in the middle , firstly if you havent vaccinated for paramyxo do it now , if this illness is not treated it does lead to nervouse problems in the bird , firstly do not feed them any maize or small seed , and treat them with a 4-1 , 7 days ! then at end of treatment give vito pro combo 2 days then 2 days milton 1 teaspoon to 4 ltrs water , this will clear it up and should stop it spreading ! but keep an eye on any birds that begin stairing in to space as this is signs of paramyxo ! they can get over this but can be carriers hope this helps mate it did mine !! you should spray everything in loft with virkon s !!!
-
pro combo, has salts in it witch will make the birds drink more !!
-
what i do is wrap nest bowl up with news paper , and put a coconut nest felt in ! all young liquid goes through nest felt and into newspaper so they are always sitting in a dry nest !!

hi lads just wondering if any one looks in the throat of the bird before pairing ! to see if it is a good or bad bird to breed of its all to do with the curtain at the back of the throat
