Young bird bath

This years young birds are real soap dodgers, I always put the bath out for them, but I can count the baths they’ve had on one hand, other years they’ve dived in every time I’ve put it out.
I thought they’d love a bath in this hot weather.

"very impressive avartar etc" Some say if they don't bath its a bad sign, but I suggest on average it means little either way Boosey. Mine have the bath in front of them for 3/4 days on the trot as such & some times its full of bloom & other times its not & in 3 races so far, I've had 1 first & 2 seconds in my club with good section places type of thing. Nice always to see them all enjoying a bath, but the main thing it is there for them to choose when I would suggest.

younger they are the more frequent they will bathe once they mature and discover the opposite sex
they don't seem as keen to go in more than once a week.
or there just mingers

well done on yer racing results oz keep up the good work ,mine not been in the bath yet yet been out all the while

I tried mine with a bath weeks ago, didn't want to know....so ive not bothered since as they seem more interested in pairing up.

Never had a problem, the pigeons could and did bath in the waterfall of the pond when THEY felt like it and no fancier can read a pigeons mind, can see no reason why a bath should not be available all the time, the pigeon will then act according to nature and not guess work by the fancier.

Regards.

Thanks Rog actually more concerned with my returns at this early stage etc. Will do an audit after Saturdays race here & compare type of thing running at 6% on average & compared to some I'm doing OK so far but as we all know it only takes one race & things can crash all around you Big, Big time, unfortunately .

I doubt it will Boosey some where     at some time here come race day etc, I suspect I will crash & burn in a major way as such     as its all part of the enjoyment factor that many of us enjoy so much type of thing .
