david i dont put bleach in my water as i have said before but i know people who do for what reason i dont know exactly why but what i do know some of these are top flyers in our club so it cant be doing harm

iam sure geordiejen has already told you why

Ian try it first and see if it suits your birds

no thanks got my own methods wont change things around season starts next week

ok ian, so you dont use it.........but the people who do, obviously do not think the tap water they have available isnt safe enough for use.......bearing in mind this water has been treated and is passed for human consumption.

so, if they are not happy with this and feel the need to further the cleansing of it so its safe for their birds........do they also feel the same water is acceptable for their children to drink....? if not do they add bleach to their daily drinking water.......?


would be very interested to know....

already use vanodine with is like a disinfectant

no need for that ian, my discussion has been with you and other members re bleach, your point being that it is safe and of benefit for use.......so what do you think.....?

like i say, if they use it they are idiots....... ray knows my address if they want to tell me otherwise.....

Ian how many times have fanciers, used something and said use it and when it has been used by someone else it has been the opposite for there pigeons

No two pigeons am the same

you call them idiots david but you still dont know why all i have done is gave my view on the subject somebody put on to be bombarded by you and don with questions find out who put it on and ask them ,all i said it wont do any harm to your birds thats what this forum is about your view i gave him mine and don this is just my opinion

Good comments David fair play mate

ian, im sorry you feel that way.........there is/was no offence meant, just a good discussion which sometimes gets a bit heated as we all have different opinions on pigeon keeping, like don says we all have different methods of management and some tips which work for one man might not work for another.....

remeber chancos favourite saying.....? "you can buy the bird, but you cant buy the man"

Yes Ian i give my veiws, i have not called you an idiot or anyone else but i have never heard of bleach being used at all and i visit the best fanciers within the midlands

But i well say Ian i only call you a MUPPET

exactly right and this is my opinion

if i remember correctly ian chanco did the same and added a small amount to the drinkers, he even claimed he had drank it himself............but even tho i did like his posts and info i cannot see the sense in this.....

anyway our nice soft water is much better than your english hard water that limescale sticks to you kettle elements.i would rather drink scottish water than english water.so what do yous all think of that?hard white limescale

i only drink water out of fridge through filder, kettle is filled from fridge takes taste of lime out, even birds get from from it fill 2 litre jug and pour it in 2 5 litre bottles daily

we are only had water a couple of years now at our allottments and it was a nightmare, i could.nt go though that again.so mine get it straight from the tap now and it has,nt harmed mine.i worked in scotland and few times their water tasted horrible to me but like everything so get used to it

Must say hard water areas, the taste is not nice as my old house was in a hard water area

But the new house the water is softer as there is less lime scale in the kettle compared to the old house

Must say the Janssen bros had water from there well in the back yard and they always put a lump of charke in the well to make the water soft and this is shwn on there video

The Janssen Story

only having a laugh about the lime scale.lol yer water is still crap.

maybe its the lime scale thats all going to your heads and you all think yous are in with a chance of winning the world cup.
