Rhubarb

[Roland]

Yep the leaves of the Rhubarb are poisonous to any bird, including pigeons of course.

But leaves gently boiled and simmered leaving a nice juice, are highly recommended.

I am in the process of making some myself this week - end.

Yep stored in jars etc. -especially with musslin / clothe tops, it lasts way over the year, certainly till the new crop comes up.

Obviously it is good for sprinkling over any dead bird. Likewise dabbed into the back of the neck, and allowed to dry where it can't be pecked / preened, thus allowing it to work it's wonders.

I suppose one day the youngsters - or old birds may well be attacked via a B.O.P. and I would just hate to think I hadn't given the it a nice supper. Obviously it wouldn't slow the pigeon down none.

I just thought that some may wish to use it as a alternative to salt.
