always use stinging nettles, best thing to get down out of your birds 4 weeks prior to first race stick ur pigeons on 14 days of nettle tea, the condition the birds come into is unbelievable its like a snowfall of down

:)how do you make this "special brew" Ryan , or is it another old family secret , passed down from youre nan .      andy .   ;D

one way of making "nettle soup"  is to cut the top 6 inches from the stinging nettles , boil on water , then  give in the birds water,, it is sopposed to be good for them[  good for the garden too  ;D left in a barrel of water,, but it absolutely stinks ]  personally i think, birds will eat what they need and when they need it , if available for  them

Imagine the ribbing you would get at your club -- not to mention the pinches at the pub!
