Even in that short time they were mixed together untill the water was changed would the garlic pickle?

I have a garlic bulb in my water tank, and the watering can i use to fill the drinkers. For all the good it does, i'm syre it doesn't do any harm, my doos are in great order.

I add 250ml of cider vinegar to the water tank every so often, which means they will get it for 5 days, before the tank is empty. I then refill the tank leaving the garlic in until it grows stems, then i put a fresh one in, again its no done them any harm

As I have said b4, when I go to renew the garlic bulb, I tend to put the old one in the birds bath b4 disposing of it, this keeps lice and unwanted beasties awayhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

Nice one Sapper, i was a bit hesitant to put it in the bath, thought it might stain the feathers, i know better now

I read in a book once that garlic should be crushed to get the benifits from it, not chopped, this was for cooking,
