PIGEONPACKMAN Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Are they flying ok, try a strong dose of garlic in the water see if that helps .if they are flying comeing back panting could be respiratory allot more expiriances fanciers will be able to guide you better .squeeze the birds wattles abit and look for bubbles coming out ofmth eys thats a sign of respiratory and nasal discharge also.

JohnQuinn Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 There is a product I seen at a fanciers loft last year, can't for the life of me recall its name but you put a drop into the pigeons Eye, then open its beak a few seconds later to see if it has reached its throat. The product is a Bright Red eye drop and it goes straight to the birds throat immediately after putting it in its eye if all is ok!! If there is a Respiratory problem the throat/mouth doesn't change colour. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
