I have been feeding it as a winter mix. I notice in recent weeks they have been leaving maples. I remember reading too many maples in a mix causes the birds problems and wondered if this was behind the maples getting left. I'd already decided and have ordered one of their breeding mixes.

Ian, The Great Alf Baker fed 60% Maples and I don't believe it did his birds any harm

Times have moved on Peter, Alf is a legend in my eyes but if he was feeding that in this day and age he wouldnt be winning round these parts.

There was a Canadian vet wrote an article in the R.P. some time ago,about maples having the highest toxins in the skin than any other food fed to racing pigeons and he suggested that they should have pick blocks on a regular supply because of their kaolin content which apparently helps break down the toxins.

I did say in this DAY and age, yes it worked years ago, but feeding has moved on, and if ya dont move with the times you get left behind. If one thing has changed in racing it is the way fanciers feed, it has done a complete 360 degrees, the way fanciers feed later in the week, are now what they feed at the beginning just as an example.

Er, wouldn't 360 put it back to exactly the way it was to begin with in 1800-odd?
