WHAT PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN USING A DILUTED BLEACH

SOLUTION?

Always wear gloves. Prolonged contact with even diluted bleach can dry or injure the skin.

Always wear goggles if there is danger of a splash, especially when working above eye level.

Never mix bleach solutions with other cleaning products.

Birds are totally different to humans. Type in google the benefits of bleach for pigeons.

No all it will do is dye the birds feathers a nice yellow colour that will help to attract the Hawks, used to dye my pouter hens with bleech years ago to attract the cocks but it weakens the feathers and can burn the quills.

Did you dip them in pure bleach? I'd never use it pure must be diluted.

yes it does damage feathers I used it on the loft floors and noticed the end of birds tails getting eaten away, so now if i use it make sure its properly dry before birds get in ,

No it was diluted I think it was about 10% bleach 90% water it was a long time ago maybe one of the pouter men on here can tell you the percentage they use nowadays.

Sorry mate but that is the craziest idea I have heard for a long time. Why in the name of goodness would you even think that this is a good idea. If you are concerned about external parasites the best way to deal with that would be either Moxidectine or Cidectine. If you use these products you will also clear the birds of air sack mites which are very difficult to deal with. If I were you I would ignore the clever git who told you that because he must be a right clown. If I had an idiot like that in my Club, I would love it because he would be great for supplying pool money for the rest of us to win.

Chlorcarb is what you are after Pat dip your yb's in that and they will be fine and free of lice mate

[just ask me]

total madness in my opinion Owens post above is bang on

[Guest geordiejen]

the only time i use bleach is to clean all the containers and in a sprayer around the loft once a month.tried a halfteaspoonfull of bleach in the water regularly but then stopped after a few months it seemed to take away some of the birds immune system.i wouldnt recomend using bleach long term.never dipped the birds in bleach either dont see what good it would do.

Bleach is a household product to be used with care, not for use on livestock
