Roland Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Cattle salt blocks, and Mineral troughs were frequented by pigeons very much in days gone bye. Throughout the year! Yes race birds were/ are often thought to be doing 2 hours or more... when up at the troughs lol. Times when 'Fielding' was encouraged after the harvest for great picking that done them the world of good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Davie Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Have tried various types of licks and rock salt but birds would not look at them , they only gathered dust until I threw them out, assume birds are supposed to pick at them as they don't have the type tongue made for licking like farm animals ?
