Beanz Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Hi Rick, Sorry about your trouble, I have used the Bradwest masks for the last few years and I find them very effective, they are a bit expensive but I suppose it depends on how you look at it, how much is your health worth, all I can say in my opinion PRICELESS, I have used these masks for the last 6 years and I reckon it works out at just above £2 per week. I have my blood checked every year at the Blackpool Show and it has come down from in the 20's to my one done last year which showed up as 1. Hope this helps.

johnny11 Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Try a company called ARCO I bet they will be half the price, add pigeon to the reason and the price doubles like everything else. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanz Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Tony the company is Bradwest and they advertise in the magazines and are at Blackpool every year, I wouldn't be without one now, there is a power pack which blows air down away from your mouth and nose so reducing the risk, I reckon the power pack usually lasts for about 2 years, so in fact I was wrong when I said £2 per week as they are about £120 so in fact they are only just above a £1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beanz Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Couldn't agree more, paper ones are garbage would sooner spend the money on a proper one. got two for the kids last time one for my daughter who had budgies and one for my son who has cockatiels, I believe parrot type birds are supposed to be worse than pigeons for bloom.
