| Good luck with getting started up. No expert myself with these pigeons and the longer i keep them the less i know. However........... a few good pointers 1/ Learn to say no thank you - the majority of pigeon men are very good with new starters but set your limits with birds and do not exceed it - keep it easy and enjoyable by only keeping a manageable amount. 2/ a fancy price on a product for the birds does not mean its necessarily a good thing. Most things that are good for pigeons can be found in a supermarket or health shop for 1/10th of the marked pigeon price. 3/ The good lord gave us all one mouth and two ears - There is a very good reason for this ratio Enjoy the birds, take your time, enjoy this site - It seems like one of the best on the net and finally ask plenty of questions and reap the rewards from the answers you get. |
