Minor problem I hope

Can someone explain how and wear to give a pigeon an injection ?

First it takes 2 people, one to hold the bird and one to stick the needle in. You  also need witnesses to sign to say they have had the legal amount from a recognised in date batch of vaccine.

I inject my birds and other members birds too, but the above still stands!

 

That said, usually someone within your club will be prepared to assist, or may even be appointed to the job, have you asked at your club?

They may need to be paid?

 

Try your club mates, if they cann't or wont help, try this forum and give nearset town location and we may be able to find someone to do it for you are demonstrate how its done, thats how I Learnt.

Have some one hold the pigeon and put the needle just under the skin at the base of the neck but make sure it is witnessed etc. as per the regulations.

i agree with above, but would be very carefull withe that needle,,,better to basket birds then inject and put back in loft one at a time,,,,,,the reason im saying that is,i was injecting a famous nat winners birds,inside the loft , where he ws catching them i was injecting, and he was putting them in the next section,now this is true ;D ;D ;D, im sure he would verify this ;D ;D ;D he bent over to catch a bird on the corner of the floor,i was standing [needle in hand,loaded]with the needle pointing away from me, looking at the birds on the perches, as he bent over , his butt stuck in to the needle ;D

he wasnt bothered too much but his wife made him go to the a and e of local hosp, but every thing was ok, so it goes to show how carefull you should be.

 

p.s ;D ;D got a bit worried next day when he started cooing ,and moulting ;D ;D ;D ;D, but above is true ;D ;D ;D

If you are injecting your own as you are not a club member if you take them to a race the officials may not let you race if they vaccination's were not witnessed by union members far better to have them done and certified by a vet.
