Henrik Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 If they are not human quality dont feed them to your birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darnaway Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Totally agree if you wouldn't eat them then don't feed to the birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIGEON_MAN Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Surprised to find out a few weeks ago that the best distance flyer in our area always feeds the cheap ones,wouldn,t myself but when you,ve won the Midland National a few times and also got a string of other good open and section positions how can you argue.

eastcoaster Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I feed loads to the stock birds while rearing they fight me for them it's great to see , they are one of the easiest grains for the birds to digest , but peanuts don't win races the birds doo.
