| ken, i took a trip to a place at wakefield called crowthers, they had a wharehouse full of any corn you could think of and everything for pigeons......i could have spent all day there looking around, i know its a long way from you but i know they do deliveries all over the country if they had what you wanted....? |

| ken, i got a big sack of floor whitener for £9 and its lasted me months already....it will probably last me a year, lol i also got some of that matrix mix which is grit, minerals, aniseed etc, etc which the birds love and it was cheeper than the local corn man......its about a 20 min drive from my house but when i start racing next season im hoping to get a big supply of corn to last me the full yb season then i wont be giving different corn every time. |

| once you have found the corn which suits ur birds stick to it, so if you have the storage to hold the corn for the season it sounds a good idea, that loft whitner sounds a good buy, the one i get is 6.95 for a tub Ken |

| yes ken, i think if i can get a good supply of the same corn it would be better, then i dont run the risk of going for new corn when i run out and it being different ....like so many times i have before. is the whitener harkers you get for £6.85 ? if it is ive seen it before.....is it the one with a disinfectant type ingredient ? this which i get is verselle laga (spelling) and its great stuff for the price, i usually buy it in smaller bags from my local and it is about £3 + a bag and only lasts about a month.....as you know i clean out every day so im well pleased with the £9 bag. |

| hi ian, didnt use them......look at them every day when i go into the garage for corn but just dont bother.... when im sat with them they are all over me sat on my knees and arms, and some sit on my head.....one s**t on me the other day.....lol. i play with them touching them with my hands and they peck around on my fingers but dont seem scared at all, so as i say, i cant understand why they are like this. |
