Ribena, Garlic, Carrots, Onion, And Vegetable Water

[Wiley]

Recently read an interview with Warren Foster and he stated he uses "garlic, onions, carrots and all vegetable water from cooking. He also add Ribena to these items and add one cupful to two gallons of water every day." I've used all of the above for many years mainly in the winter months but I've never heard or thought of using ribena. A 288ml cartoon of ribena gives a human his 100% dose of vitamin c for the day. There is much written on vitamin c and pigeons. Food for thought

can't see the veg water been much use it's boiled and any vitamin content would be lacking , most fruit juice or veg juiced in moderation is good for your birds many natural antioxidants and health property's to them when you read up on them

On the contary, boiling would only remove the vitamin c, vitamin a,e,d and k are not so delicate and will still be present. Vegetable water is an old fashioned remedy used for years to increase your iron intake, so iron must also be present?

To be honest I heard a fancier used his veg water and did the same then I went on to juicing them and mixing the pulp into there feed which I think is much better

I use Effervescent Multivitamins that are purchased from Boots the Chemist ,20 per tube

Just break 1/4 of a tablet into a 2 litre drinker ,states on the back of the tube all the contents of vitamins (no artificial colours) Wonderful and Simple. Bit like me :lol:

I don't use multivits, though there are vitamins in Hormoform which I do use. Since vitamins come from 2 main sources, food & microbial action in the gut, multivits are chemical copies of them, manufactured in a lab. Last time I checked, there was no evidence these provided the same benefits that 'real' vitamins do. I much prefer to use vegetable & herb foods in their natural state e.g. green leaves, 2 or 3 times a week. For me, thats the real source of vitamins for my birds.

 

This year my back 'garden' is changing, and there's a small herb & vegetable patch going in. Hopefully the birds will eat just what they need.
