activa yogurt

any one every give it to the birds and how do u give it as ive heard few different ways one over the food .. other with food and other mixes in too and then other way is to pour yogurt in to little blows ...
any one tryed this ....

I have heared of giving it, but seem silly to me when would a pigeon ever eat yoghert naturaly. years ago no one gave such things, I think its a fad and another quick fix for poor pigeons. Dont bother get a good simple system and forget gimiks.

i give yakult natural yoghurt after i treat , when you treat you also knock the pigeons good bacteria down so you have to put this back natural yoghurt does the trick,

have heard of fanciers giving it but ive never done it myself......they reckon its good for them but i dont know, maybe someone will tell you if they have seen any improvement in health by giving it...

david it is good for them beleive me

I have heared of the good bacteria being replaced by these in humans, but surely they are not the same for a pigeon, they are avaian specific, but thats just a guess. However Im also sure it wont do any halm maybe some good, but its not for me. Does anyone use some of the products specifically for pigeons like that GEM STRIKE, tHATS NEANT TO DO THAT FOR BIRDS??

Gem Strike is just another form of garlic

The best thing i have heard is live yogurt this can help keep the cocci count down never used it though

Fair play Ian on the yakult

not again

What's up Ian

you must use yoghurt i think after treatment to put the natural bacteria back into them

I also use live bactira dinks, i put mine in the water. i know some put it on corn, which do you do Ian.

Also has anyone given babies milk to young pigeons ? i have and found it good stuff.

yes amanda i also put the yoghurt in the water, and yes i have also given the birds baby milk but on corn with fine oils whilst feeding young,

Can you explain it to me Ian?

which one the baby milkor the yoghurt

I was talking to my MRS today and i mentioned yoghert, now its not what you think...but she said that she always gives the empty yoghert pot to our parrot and he finishes it off, and hes very healthy? so maybe it is quite good?

forgot to say they are SKI strawberry flavour

yes it is good mark but not strawberry just natural yoghurt yakult

so can it be used in the water or on the corn.....? (cant be bothered reADING THROUGH PREVIOUS POSTS....LOL)

I agree with the milk and yougurt Ian used it myself
What ever is used for human consumption is good for the pigeons

stew and dumplings............ sorry don, couldnt resist it.

Here you are David an old saying in my old club get some terta's "potatoes" round um this is what some fanciers would say and even bring a small bag of potatoes and place them on the bar

Them were the good old days mate miss my racing days loads
But everything was taken in good spirit

Forgot to say that pigeons are good for us to, at the end of the day if all else fails you can make a meal from them

my mate gives his african grey parrot red chillies.try giving that to your birds lol.to be honest i had several squeekers dying on me a few years ago and a guy told me to mix natural yogurt in the feed let it stand overnight to dry then feed it to the birds.i never had another youngster die on me that year.i was told it was thrush due to damp or dodgy dried corn.
