We use heather as well, in abundance just over 2 miles from us

Great in the nests as well

Best to get this problem sorted first before getting more stock, I am sure there are plenty of fanciers that will help you out once you do, myself included

Billy had his MOT today and passed, he is up to 7st 12lbs a huge difference from 4st 12lbs when he was at his lowest wieght. He is now heavier than Kim and his goal is to double his lowest wieght and get to 9st 8lbs and the way Chickadee is feeding him he is well on his way :) He would like to that everyone for all their best wishes and prayers as they have really paid off and he hopefully gets the keys to his new house on Monday GREAT I WILL GET MA COUCH BACK ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

You have obviously not tried French bred they take a bit of beating, especially with a stick ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Our white cross indians, they will stand up to anything

Clicking is common and I think it is done by the cock squab, not tested that theory yet, crop milk does smell sour at the best of times :-/

The drink is probably just cooling it down due the increase in temperature caused by the illness or as Les says easing the pain in the throat or crop :-/

A giant runt, they are french bred for the pot, they are three to four times the wieght of a racer:(

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Are these all used at once or as seperate times :-/

Chanced days, you used to have to supply your own sugar for a cup of tea ;D ;D ;D

Well that rules me and a few on here out then, in fact how are you getting to it

Considering we do not know exactly how a bird has the ability to home and bearing in mind taking a bird hundreds of miles from it's home and releasing it is in no way natural, Pigeons like most birds only fly to find food The world is expanding in all directions due to technology especially with radio signals, mobile phones, Fm signals and wireless computers so the chip on the leg may be the final straw IF the birds depend on this to home, untill we find out then we are only guessing One thing for sure any predator will spook birds and send them in all directions totally breaking any confidence they have to try it again :-/

Like all big happy families we have our vast range of characters and all joyous occasions always end in a puch up ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Were they lost from the loft or training toss, what an amount to lose at once, feel sad for you Damian

I thought pigeons could not digest milk, or is it just certain parts of the milk that they cannot digest :-/

That is quite common for the bird to look a little better after a drink but as you say it only lasts a little while, good think is they are drinking so you can gett some good stuff into them

I know well known and old hand show fanciers that don't treat for anything as we have bought some from them, we had to inject as soon as we got them as we inject all our birds even the ones in the cotes, they are done in October as it is easier to catch them when the dark nights set in

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Is that ..*expletive removed* meant to be fornicating, would not like to think it was swearing ;)

Not at alot of shows I have been to, some fancy showers don't treat them at all, I know that for a fact :-/

Good Indians are, a lot of them are crossed, there was not a good entry at blackpool this year, I was expecting to see a some class birds to compare mine to but I wish I had entered a couple that Chickadee had There are a few breeders but they are hard to breed at times :-/ All the pigeons that sh** on you in the town have RPA rings on them, pay back time ;D ;D ;D
