hi this picture below shows me that the kidneys have been affected in some way,the string like formation is a clear sign of this....normally seen in paramixo infections....this is different though.

what ever it is...wether a slight infection or something they have eaten...its certainly the kidneys.

Why do you say the formation of the droppings would indicate kidney problems?   :-/

Spend more time with the birds and less on here  ;D ;D The bad habits your birds pick up as young birds (like sitting out on the roof, picking0, will stay with them and it will be difficult to break them of those habits.

I had a hen 2 years ago that kept going out onto the country lane by me and picking about, I never bothered to stop her. This year she started dragging my youngsters to do the same thing. Needless to say she has gone now, and the youngsters were stopped from doing it before it became a habit.

have seen this before with birds sitting on roofs all day picking from the gutters

it might be lack of vitamins or protein try keeping them in for a few days and give some multi vits gem vits is the best around well i think so

and feed protein e.t.c. bucktons expert small seeds but full of protein and fat

yeah it was only because i had a few and they were not doing anything ;)if they were going to race it would be differnt

Some fanciers get too wound up about droppings.  Unless these droppings are one of a combination of things out of place with your birds, don't worry about it, especially at this time of the year, when the birds are not racing and breeding.  If something is amiss, it nonetheless is all about building up a good immune system - the natural way.  I have a 2 year old pigeon whose droppings are rarely as they should be.  He has been a very consistent racer for me, scoring at National level this year from 400 mls (on the day).

yes they look very healthy

its just some of the dropping can look weird not all of them have weird looking poo  

[Guest Owen]

I would get your droppings tested. They are not as they should be. The cause of the trouble could be anything really. Lack of ventilation, eating rubbish, bad feed, anything. As Strapper says, the kidneys could be affected, something that will ruin your chances racing. The first thing is the have the droppings analysed to eliminate the internal problems. Then move on to the loft and make sure your ventilation is working properly and finally exercise some discipline and stop them from fielding or pecking about at things that are doing them harm.

Try to have a local Vet or a Pigeon Fancier with a microscope to check for you but if you are struggling to find someone, I'll do it for you. pm me.  

[jack]

were your pigeons up eating out of the cutters

[vanreets]

no many sitting round the garden sometimes on the roof though but never seen eatin g out of gutters too well fed for that

when the kidneys are affected they show in the droppings in a string like formation as in the pic placed by the person starting the thread...this isnt out of geuss work its down to me studying pigeons and their diseases for a long while...i aint the best at this...but what i do know is what i stated.

as i stated ...this is a common sign in paramixo where the illness affects the kidneys, where they can fail.

antibiotics can also kick them back into action resulting in the weakening of the illness.

i think a lot of fanciers have seen this formation at times...especially in the last 2years with numerous outbreaks of para..especially the one thats been hitting fanciers without the common head twisting.

as many of you know i have got this "polish" pigeon what no ones what it is well i have found out that every so often when it wlks it loses balance  :-/ well it has no been going out side a lot now and i have found it has been a very good dropper as does not fly much i think many due too not having many flight feathers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

p.s if anyone wants him then please pm me he is from great sprint stock and his brother was sold for £300

 

lol

only jokes no one can have my little mate

[Guest IB]

On a more serious note, if your pigeon is losing its balance, then that's not normal. You'd be advised to get it checked over. The 'not flying' bit could be another clue that there's something wrong there.

yeah the not flying as said is due to me having to cjut some of the filghts because some where it has got tar on the wing

[Guest]

If this bird has a loss of balance disorder, the chances are it has one of the following problems, Paramyxovirus, Salmonellosis or Streptococcosis, and should be seen by a vet for diagnosis. In the mean time, my advice would be to isolate the bird until you have the results from your vet, otherwise you could be in grave danger of spreading the possibility of disease (if not already happened).

This, combined with another of your threads, regarding droppings, indicates to me that all is not well in your loft.

umm suppose i tought he was fine though because he has been knocked about a bit will isolate it but dont think it will help as his dropping are fine

and the rest are not so think i will have too treat them all at once
