peanuts are fine for old and young birds but only in small amounts ,keeps the birds tame once they get that taste  

[Guest strapper]

peanuts are given to my birds in plenty, a big part of their feeding supplements....never be without them....my birds love them .

everyone has their own ways ,but mine is to give plenty, all my racebirds have them...old and young.

This will bee my 2nd year racing have been giving my birds peanuts since i started.My brother has been racing a few years told me to give them to YB's & older.

most fanciers i know use peanuts normaly later on in the season for the longer races, you can try peeled sunflower seeds they do the same thing ,high in fat's, and the birds love them as well.

once pigeons get the taste of p,nuts,,, they love them , these can be used for  the fanciers  own advantage

Peanuts are great for y/b's in the nest, use them on a night as a way to get an extra feed into them after the parents have already fed them on breeding mix.Also good when the cock is starting to look at his hen again or getting on a bit and getting just that bit lazy at feeding them.If you do try them you will be surprised at the weight they put on when you move them over to y/b section.

Dont use them much after this except to get them used to eating them and as a titbit,not that we are bothered about racing y/b's that much.

Again like Mr. Guiness only buy ones for humans.
