[just ask me]

[Guest Denny]

I gotta say this has to be one of the funniest threads I have read in a little while on the Forum - love the comradery between Roland and Delboy   and all over a cake!

[OLDYELLOW]

lol i think Delboys super glued a piece of maize to bottom of bucket should feed them not tease them ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[HOMER49]

In the bucket is a mix I make up into a cake. It has lots of different seeds in it, millet, rape, hemp, canary seed, groats,bound together with eggs and baked, i call it flying cake. The ones that dont care, please dont read this. ;D ;D

Wrong, recipe passed down to me from my grandfather. Given to him in 1953. I have been pmd by an older guy who uses similar recipe. The old timers knew their stuff.

Now C'mon Dellboy, it  could be anything that you yourself decide upon.  Let's keep it going, though. But surely, now is the time for some clues! ;D ;D

you missed the dundee cake and whiskey

[Guest Vic]

Sorry guys I must have missed most of the banter, due to the game. It appears now that a simple seed etc cake was the big deal, Why dont you Guys grow up!

hi,as a lad in the 60s i kept tumblers&tipplers one morning letting the birds out before going to school an old chap was standing at the back of my pigeon shed and the very first thing he said to me was(you got to give them the cake) i thought whats he going on about ??)well the next morning he came again only this time with the cake he picked out one grizzel and two black badge tipplers and told me to keep them alone in the orange box,s, he gave them this cake and within a couple of weeks they were flying from one hour up to fourteen hours still up on coming from school and they took some dropping, the tumblers would fly upto four or five hours, he stopped coming to see me and i found out later he had passed away, i learnt later this old chap was fred cope he held the world record for tippler flying at some point, i dont know to this day what was in that cake but it sure made the pigeons fly 8) one other thing he said was when the birds are off the hooks break a couple of freshly laid eggs and mix into the feed they will be as right as rain,food for thought

Course oatmeal 2lb

milk 4 tablespoons

salt 1 tablespoon

Sugar 3 tablespoons

Cod-l-oil 2 tablespoons

Calcium fortified tablets2

Vitamin tablets crushed 6

  

this was many years ago, and was Stan Bishops (old hand)views on what to use in conjunction with a all bean feeding regime, although peanuts /oilseed fed at right time would do just as well for distance racing, wheat germ oil mixed with  rolled oats etc turning them golden brown for a few days before would do the business as well.
