veiws on red band

does any body use red band wot advantages u have using it.cheers guys

hi gareth use it before i basket for race nice and light and it makes them go to drinker before you basket

I used to use it on Fridays as well, Frank Hall used to sell it, can't get it now unless you buy 25kg and the carriage is expensive - great stuff though

love the smell of the aniseed no wonder they go mad for it, good as a trapping seed

Fred i just looked on Taylors choice heres the link http://pigeons.taylorschoice.co.uk/products/162703_red_band_-_haiths_2kgs.php

Thank you Amanda, the price is great, but, when you add £5.65 for carriage, it blows it out the water, and I can't collect as it's a three day camel ride


I have used Taylor's choice before, they are great, I'll wait till I have a bit to order from them and buy 25kg it's a good price

steve I agree, and it's good for the digestion

never tried it but will

I have always mixed my own tit bits, basically using most of the ingredients in red band. Plus more, but have also added red band to it as well as it gives it a nice smell with the aniseed. however you can buy aniseed oil which gives the smell and add it yourself. just like matrix you pay for the smell and your better of making it as it works out cheaper.

yes i agree with you better making your own mixes

Can you give us the mixing ratio ?

murray and mills pigeon supplies tried mixing their own to copy matrix, told me it was great and birds would love it........absolute sh**e.

Always used it but must say it is expensive
