I use natural yogurt, as well as mix of tea and manuka honey.

heard a lot about manuka honey gary its exspensive isnt it

It is mate, but in comparison with a lot of pigeon products on the market, it works out quite reasonable. In the long run it keeps your birds in tip top condition and helps boost their natural immune system. When I was first using it about ten years ago it wasnt readily available and was only sourced on the internet at a price of around £40, but now Holland and Barret and places like that stock it.. But it's a natural product that does acheive the right results. It can be used all year round and it really does give your birds a real boost.

how much is it now gary i friend got me a jar which i have in the house, for myself , i have just come out of hospital after a big op with bowel cancer and he told me to take this as it has good healing powers

Sorry to hear that mate. I think now its around twenty five pounds for the gold, which is the better one. Your friend is right, it is supposed to help healing, fight infection and speed recovery. People are only just recently begining to realise the benefits. But it certainly had the desired effects on my pigeons. This was one of my best kept secret tonics. One which I am 100% sure that it made my pigeons win. There was at one point a lot of speculation of what I actually put in my drinkers prior to basketing. But thats what it was. Ok I did wind a few people up and said it was very expensive and I never divulged it to a living soul.

gary how do you mix this and how much do you use and how often

I mixed it at 3 teaspoons desolved in hot water with two tea bags of yerba tea and make it up to a pint, then add this to a bullet drinker and then fill it up.
I only gave it once per week, but let them drain the drinker.

thanks gary sounds like good stuff

Your welcome mate, but when they are resting, moulting you can substitute the tea with garlic. During the breeding season, I just gave the honey.

would that be a 5 litre drinker gary and how many birds would the drinker serve

Yes thats a five litre drinker, I use to have 16 birds to a section, but if you have smaller sections you could halve it.

great info gary
