Treats for Pigeons

What treats that the birds love do members give their birds, and how do you prepare it,

I've seen Hal put turf and apple in his aviary, and some members give marmite.
Do some birds love it and some hate it like humans.

don't use peanuts anymore but do give hemp as a treat they go mad for it

my birds refused to eat the peanuts they do love water cress so give every other day

chopped peanuts for mine

I give mine a peanut before lights out every night, just before I tuck them in. softie

water cress is busting with vitamins and minerals birds will eat it before eating corn

Never used it myself, remember going to a woman's house to fit some new doors, in her living room she had a photo of the 1960's Dudley Fed Winner from Saints, when I was talking to her she said it was the only bird home in race time, she also said her husband would cook his birds a cake and it smelt lovely with all the different seeds covered with loads of Honey.

So it might be the same type of thing Mark

 How fortunate for your birds there etc Boosey . One would never wish them to be having night mares continually if they were looking at your avartar every day for enjoyment.

Unfortunately knackeredy actual photo is s lot worse.
