| Will say anything used for horses can be used on pigeons
Homoform is a good product but this was first used by race horse trainer's |

| its a prossess of elimination mate.good excuse for rejecting a bird.it doesnt really take much to put a drop of this stuff on the back of the neck every month so if the fancier cant be bothered then why should the judge spend lots of time on the birds condition,type feathering and so on if its got lice on its flights.same goes for any dirt on the bird that has been their more than a few hours. |
