theirs been a few companies in the past doing a range of herbal products and none seem to last as they are just too expensive for most to follow their programme I have tried them and they were good but too expensive for the whole range ...I find fennel tea bags and oregano very good and stick to these two myself

I guess if you are dealing with a very large company for your Medicinal Herbs - the prices are going to be high.

But in Gary Spavin's case, I think his prices are Very reasonable!

For example - his Teas are £7.00 per bag.  In One bag there is enough to make Fifteen Gallons of liquid. Or less than 12 pence for a 2 pint drinker.

To me that is GOOD value.  What do you think?

His Tinctures are around the same value as well.

I have only just started using Gary's system - so it is early days yet.  But I will let you all know how things go on.  The problem is with this kind of thing, how does one know how things would have been if one did not use a certain product.

Food for thought, me thinks.

From 120 to 586. Sometimes only day bird. Flying to the nest with old birds. 10 years ago took dozens of trophies to the dump when I quit for a few years. On a scale of one to ten as a racer, would be a 5.

Very well done!

Getting back on track here Phil could I suggest you try & get the Dvd/Vcr of Frank Taskers etc where he shows & talks about the herbs he uses for his birds. For what I remember, he had a couple of differant type mixes which he bought in bulk & used. My memory being what it is Lavender is the only herb there I remember being in his mix as such.

a lot of fanciers hang lavender in the loft say it keeps nasties away

Now now temper the enthusiasm above this a pigeon forum not a sex site etc    . Keep your secrets to yourself there what play time in the bedroon as such is & besides the little could be on site here .  

sorry mr oz I consider myself reprimanded

The highest prize winner in my club says all he ever puts in the water is the 5 in 1 stuff. He says it does everything so he dosnt need anything else.
Him and his dad are 2 of the most consistent long distance fanciers in my area for many years on the North road, and all his dad ever gives them in the water is Cider vinager and garlic cloves.

I won sod all in my first season back in the sport, but mine get Ropa B, 3 times a week, greens juice whenever we have vegatables (not salted) and multi vitamins once a week that Darren kindly gave me last year.
By the way Darren your little hen was my first bird this week, unfortunately I missed her arrival as I was boxing for charity at the time.
But she was the 6th yearling home in the club.
Cheers mate.

hope you learned your lesson Darren........
