water from cooked vegetables

[ally mac]

Is there any reason why we shouldnt give the birds the water from boiled potatoes, carrots, broccoli.

 

I was draining them when putting the dinner out and poured it into a empty milk carton to put into their drinking water tomorrow.

[Guest j.bamling]

i wouldnt have thought so

I know Patrick Bros used to use a brew of vegtables

watch it doesnt give them soft droppings,

Cant see it would hurt none unless you add salt in the cooking process.

i knew a fancier that did this and swore by it however as we all know any goodness or vitamin benifit would be gone in the boiling process

[demolition man]

all the goodness will be in it, drink it myself, never done me no harm

I use carrot/onion juice from time to time. I put it on the feed.

[OLDYELLOW]

i use carrot juice that i juice myself to take fat off the birds and mix the pulp in with the corn which they eat

[Guest j.bamling]

I have previously used cabbage water in the drinkers before Ally

I believe Patrick Bros. put uncooked veg through a blender to obtain the juice.

Thanks for the replies chaps, keep them coming.

 

It just seems to me that if it is a benefit it is so easy just to put it by at night for the next day, not many nights go by without some sort of water from veg going down the sink.

I like to use the juicer because the water soluable vits are spoiled by cooking. And "C" is an important vit for pigeons. That is why I like to use fresh vegitable juice. I intend to use Blackcurrent and Elderberry in due course. At the moment I am not sure how I can preserve them.

yeah thats what we used to do with elderberries, you can buy the ice cube bags that make about 10-15 ice cubes per back, fill then up with elderberry juice, freeze them the break them off when needed and put them in the water.

Frank does it with elderberry, pour it into the ice cube bags.
