Starving Pigeons

[cemetary]

Right, am just home, i have starved the doos for the day, because if a let them out the just make a monkey of me because the wife molly cuddles them, so when a let them out the morra, they will come in nae bother.

 

Is it a good idea or what, what is your views on this.

[geordie1234]

won't do them any harm but the might no even leave the loft tomorrow maybe try half a feed

welcome home, if they have been well fed till now , will do them no harm at all in my opinion .an old neighbour of mine used not feed them at all on a Thursday because of his work pattern ,that was ALL year round and he still won .

[eastcoaster]

don`t think it a great idea if they have still more than 1 flight left to moult !jmo

[demolition man]

Stave yourself at the same time least your know what there going through then your know if it's a good idea or not

[Guest Owen]

Have'nt you heard of fret marks? Assuming the birds are still growing their feathers you will have done them no faviours.

[Guest geordiejen]

ive never starved my birds but what i dont do is let them out after a feeding.my birds get fed a 5 every night.they have their fill and there is some left over for next morning or whenever but they all know when feeding time is.the only problem ive ever had is on yb's if they stay out after feeding time then they will go hungry.starving your birds for whatever reason can lead to stress.
