Good one...mine is clean the perches every evening and clock where the birds sit, first thing in the morning see what they are like, this way you spot birds on form and others that may go sick.

may- bee a good thread for me to watch, thanks

kev, i think i know why you leave it to stand, but could you tell other novices why you do please, thanks kev.

hi chris , its for every ones benefit we can all learn some thing new .
another one for w/hood flyers take your best cock out of his box on a fri night and put in a different cock in with his hen then let the cock back in but dont let him in the box let him hang on the front of his box
seeing the other cock in his box with his hen then basket him up for the club , works every time .

also if you dont want to put another cock in the box just stand a mirrow in the box he thinks its another cock same result

would this apply to all areas or moreso for certain areas with hard/sorf water or with maybe high chlorine content?

ive got one, if a pigeon has a bent feather hold it in/over the steam from a kettle and it springs back into shape.........

yes good one david have done this many times

did it years ago ian when entering club shows.

i got told to do this years ago , i think its a big factor on yb sickness
different areas have different tasting water ive never had any probs with watery droppings
or things like that .

after treatment always give them nystan or mycostatin for any secondary infection , take out all grit and minerals when treating , then use probiotic , yoghurt(yakult ) either on corn or in water to put the natural bacteria back into them,

never lose your temper in the loft (DAVID) they can sense your moods
