pigeon supplements

[jimmy white]

looking through all the various pigeon supplements on the market nowadays,,,and the prices??,,, do you think their worth it,,,,i dont ;D

 

maybe some veiws

[Guest numpty01]

no and if you go into health shop its damn sight cheaper

[chichichi]

we use amino acids,, vitamins,, b12 ,, yeast stuff,, our birds look 100% and I personally feel that these products have helped.

 

we don't go buying everything to use,, but things like vita pro combo are essential at our lofts..

 

best of luck

Jimmy its funny this has come up tonight as when i was at the gym earlier i flicked through one of the monthly body building magazines and stared in astonishment as every second page was a full page spread with the new wonder product that can make you built like the incredible hulk and also those that can lose all the access weight in 12 minutes etc etc etc.

 

The only thing consisitent with all these products was the excellent marketing deployed, the high cost and the fact that everyone was the best on the market.

 

In the case i am talking about i think these are for the people who dont want to put the work in.

remember being in j .whites loft years only supplement i saw was the blue council rubbish bags - seemed to work 8)

[Babybird]

what supplements if any would non racing pigeons require?

1 day in the week squeeze half a grapefriut into a 5pt drinker , or a spoon of honey , or crush a clove of garlic , add any to the drinking water , a salt lick/ minerial block  for horse's it  looks like a brick , place 1 in the loft , if the bird's need it they will be at it , if they don't they will leave it alone , it help's to wet it down in hot weather , other than that , you can go and buy all the fancy pill's & potions that will give the bird's no more benifit , KEEP IT SIMPEL , you wont go far wrong

;D ;D ;D  blue council bags were pinned on the inside  windows , covering the glass ;D ;D.[in the most beautifull surroundings ;D ; ,,, a scrap yard ;D. ;D ;D  loft, inside of loft painted pale  light blue, this kept the w/hood cocks calm during rest period.[along with the classical music on a transister ;D ;D ;D, they preffered bach,,,,come bach  ;D ;D;D]

to this beautifull setting ;D ;D ;D cars piled on top of others , wires above loft,greyhounds barking, a scaffolding hoisting an engine from a car,, 4ft from my loft,,,on a sat ,,w/hood cocks trapped straight through the scaffolding into their boxes, many records were broken[one was vera lyn singing "the white cliffs of dover" ;D ;D ;D [still to this day ] and many races won, inc 2cnd national 608 miles]

 

this is reckoned by the canary breeders ,to cause less stress, [my brother ;D] who, by rules, have their breeding cages , show cages painted this colour,

dont know who you are brumby,   but, obviously very observant, ;D one of the best supplements to have [along with hard work , as vallance says];D ;D ;D good luck matey,, ,,,little things count  ;D [hope i spelt that right ;D] have a good race day jw

I've used just about everything over the years and come to the conclusion what a waste of good money.Resorted to Epsom salts, Carb Soda,Iodine,Cider Vinegar,Garlic,Ground Nut Oil and Glucose, that's about your lot.Just worked round them and saved a bomb.Must admit the young birds even though late have kept their health.Fingers crossed on that one.I do however have the usual treatments in the coupboard just incase.Lindsay
