Food for thought eh.

Well food for thought eh.

Inoculations are a part and partial of every day live, both with humans and creatures.

Polio is rated the top and most successful, indeed many thought that the dieses and problems were nigh over… well that was till some countries thought they’d abandon it, and at great cost. It is, and was of course still prevalent.

So a small dose is given and the immune system sorts it, and then symptoms are so prevalent. But of course many are still carriers though to all sense and purpose the disease doesn’t have such bad results or consequences

Yet like canker it is part and partial of the birds make up. Indeed a mild form is good for the birds regardless what many would have you believe. A mild form keeps any stronger variant at bay.

So what do we do eh! Clean them out before and up to when they are about to be feeding young!

Surely nature has proven she knows best as pigeons have always, and still do, carry a mild form of canker. Surely it’s intended to immunerise their system when the adult birds feed their young!.

Feel it is just another reason why pigeons are always being popped up with pills etc. Besides, regardless who says otherwise, a mild form of canker has never handicapped a pigeon in any race yet.

yip,,,a lot in what you say roland :) all birds carry a level of canker cocci, even worms,, but with good management this should not be a problem ,but i think ,the stresses we put the birds through can increase that level ,to an extent where it can become a problem  [many years ago i didnt treat for anything, just kept the loft cleaned everyday, and clean water , very seldom had an ill bird and won a lot ;D] but i know treat for these things after advice from a good avian vet]  the vet actually said what you said , but explained ",because we put them through unnatural stress [transporters ,racing ,training etc ]" he  advised to treat periodically for these things , but very interesting post

Yes Jim.... why,  I say that a  little garden lime settled in the drinkers, helps  keep the stress level very low. It has a great soothing effect. Heard for yonks, like many others, that Lime encourages E. Coi, well just has I can't prove Lime  does what it appears to do, and over a long period, no one can point that Lime does any such thing. Indeed just look at the Lime between brinks that they will relish when givem the chance, or fielding for it in the troughs, along with minerals and even a peck or too at the Salt Rocks. They tell us - I believe - but we want to prove we know better lol.

yes i can completely see your point ,, the birds are not daft,, they know what they want ,and when they want it
