Boiling Water In Baths

[demolition man]

A few months back i over heard a conversation between two lads talking about bathing their birds, one said he puts boiling hot water before the birds and they luv it, he reconds it helps the down fall, your thoughts plz, i give mine the odd warm bath but never boiling, i thought he was taking the p"#ss and still do. But i might be wrong

Always believed in WARM baths, temperature at the hottest so I can still put my hand in, but never boiling:blink: but interested in views of others:unsure:

I believe warm water helps them relax, i also hand bath my birds in warm water with Radox after a hard race because i believe this helps the muscles, It works for me

when hand bathing, the water should be the hottest your hand can comfortably be in the water.

I've always used cold water in the bath, yes I'll maybe take the chill off it in dead of winter, but its always cold.

 

I appreciate that a warm bath will relax the pigeon before or after a race, but boiling water seems a strange one. I can't think of anyone or anything that would enjoy bathing in boiling water. Just wondering if its really a way of saying 'very warm' much like we say water is freezing, when its very cold?

The words from the guys mouth was boiling from a kettle and he reconed they luved it, I won't be trying it myself because i think its exstream, you can bet some people will give it a go if it comes from the mouth of a good flyer, jmo thats why i ask the question on here to see if anybody does do it or if its just fiction,

Demolition, an old east London saying 'Pigeon Flyers, Pigeon Liars' tell the said fancier you will only believe him, if he boils a kettle and pours it on his hand, I bet he wont take up the offer because he'll be scalded.Only other way about it is if you read between the lines, he may pour the bath before he lets them out, after an hours exercise calls them down and encourages them to take a bath by this time the bath would be warmish.

I dont think I would let a bird go in boiling water, I do know that steam is good for sorting bent flights etc, I hold the flights over the spout of a kettle it straightens them out

[Guest BRYANBROCK]

Giving birds boiling hot water bath now thats some thing i would have to see for myself maybe they should give them soap. and sponge. and a back scrubber.and a towel and dont forget the bubble bath

my god what next PSML

OFF TOPIC, MY SISTER RAN A BATH IN THE HOUSE AND HER BICHON FREEZE [sPELING] JUMPED IN. I CAN TELL YOU IT WAS ON MEDICATION FOR MONTHS FOR SCALDING,SHOCK AND IT NEARLY DIED. THAT WATER WASNT BOILING SO I CAN IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO A DOO.

Using boiling water in Baths, maybe they want more faster the moulting.

water as hot as your hands will stand put in a good measure of bicarb and watch them enjoy it.

on subject of baths

i heard years a go a top flyer used moth balls in the baths for is birds

something i have never tried (never had the balls to try it)

but always wondered to this day if he was speaking the truth or just winding people up
