Members Using a Microscope...?

does anyone on the forum use a microscope them selves to check the droppings, if so how did they learn what to look for ...?

I have a friend who uses one david he showed me the main 3,cocci,canker,worms and hexamita too ,quite easy to spot and distinguish the 4 was thinking of getting a brunel same as he has they come with a booklet for pigeon fanciers to pin point diseases and theirs aftercare contact too for any advice with brunel microscopes

is the brunel something to do with isambard kingdom brunel...? if so I would think they are/were a quality item....

would be very interesting to have the knowledge to check your own birds droppings......it could mean stopping illness getting a grip, if caught in the early stages.

think its a lot more complexed when it comes to a bacterial infection and these need a culture test I believe but for the 4 I mentioned it would still be well worth it ...yes named after the great brunel a favourite adopted son of bristolians

yes a great man by all accounts, I think he was an engineer of bridges and buildings wasn't he...? I

I know he was a hero to one of my favourite people, fred dibnah ......

he built the Clifton suspension bridge bristols famous bridge that divides the rich and the poor also the ss great Britain that sits in the harbour here for all to see some ship too for that era ...the hull of the ship was rescued just before it was to be scrapped and ferried all the way back to bristols famous floating harbour and was restored to its former glory also their is a museum here dedicated to brunel so you can see how the man is thought of here ...he was actually the son of French immigrants and was born in Portsmouth but resided in Bristol don't forget he was also the mastermind behind the great western railway ,a great man indeed who worked himself to death in the end
