There's plenty of posts on this subject - try a search

 

Personally - there are that many over the counter wormers for pigeons - I wouldn't bother buying something that isn't for birds

A horse weighs 1/2 ton = 17 thousand 920 ounces. Pigeon weighs 15 oz therefore dosage is 1 thousand 195th of the dosage for a horse. Simple aint it. " NOT "

I use horse wormer 'equimec' which is ivermectin and praziquantal.

 

Dose on the basis that a pigeon weighs 2kg.

 

Throughly mix the wormer with a small amount of water and then add this to a 1/2 - 3/4 ration of dampened grain and feed the birds.

 

No wastage and all birds can be seen to get their ration :-).

A pigeon weighs around 400 grammes. That's a 5 times overdose.

 

Plenty products specifically made for pigeons. Don't see any point in using one formulated for horses.
