REDCHEQHEN Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Would imagine you would have to add a little oil to your seed to get the aniseed powder to stick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Owen Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Although aniseed oil or powder will help your birds to trap, to me it is a cop out on your part. Pigeons should be properly trained to trap confidently because it is an essential part of their lives as racers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigeons should be properly trained to trap confidently because it is an essential part of their lives as racers.i agree somewhat with owen but you can get your birds in a routine that they get a treat when entering the loft so you don't have to let them out two hungry, and leave them out the same amount of time every time so as they are not just sat about waiting for a treat ,then after so long when when they are trapping how you like when you like wean them of it slowly till they a trapping purely by rountine.

greenlands Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Appetite is the best trapper mate and costs nothing,learn them from day one,unfortunately you'll always get a rouge.Mine have feed in front of them most of the time especially when breeding,they still trap when I say so.

PigeonDetective Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 To be totally honest.. I dont race my birds and they trap well.. I learnt the hard way about overfeeding.. Just always open to new strings of the pigeon keeping bow.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just ask me Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 JAM, why do you think they are such a risk, and what are the affects on pigeons with I believe the fungus? sorry Wiley just seen this now the only peanuts I would use are red skin or crack them from the shells as regards the fungus i can't auctally say if it causes big damage or not only what im reading apart from that feeding so many peanuts wouldn't be good when racing depending on your feeding program even though peanuts have a high fat content which is great for energy they also have a high protein content and protein can hinder the storage of fats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
