peter pandy Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Been using it for over 50 years on the birds return. In the drinker you only require to turn the water PINK which equals a couple of grains. In the bath a small pinch is all that is required to turn it red. If personally you have a problem with smelly feet steep them in purple water and it is a guaranteed cure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Tam whats the dosage and how often would you use it.??twice a week in the bath, a good pinch is ample but I have put some in before and the water was a deep purple[doesnt play music though] and the birds are fine,in the drinker a couple of crystals is enough on a Saturday when birds return I just ordered it yesterday and its here today ,cheers you always get a speedy first class service off Nigel google it you will get it no bother why would I want to google it when I already had the link on? http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/lefebre/m.html?item=200921919850&pt=UK_Collectables_AnimalCollectables_SM&hash=item2ec7e1316a&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter pandy Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Gee Whiz, It is anti bacterial and fungi. In other words if the birds pick something up in the basket it wont be passed on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and good for keeping the lice off the birds as well . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and good for keeping the lice off the birds as well . As Bob Jamieson told me about 1971 "it's good for the birds used in the drinker twice weekly but it's not dear enough for pigeon fanciers".
