Re: few pairs and the eyes

I never get sick of pictures of peoples pigeons and lofts.
The eyes, I don't know much about, other than mine all seem to one on each side of their heads, but the pigeons are looking very well, George.
Lovely pair of Blues.

Re: Buzzards

We have a few Peregrines around here but they get a hard time. My wife feeds the magpies, sometimes there are 30 or 40 on the lawn. Some are very tame. They get on well with the pigeons, sometimes sharing the bath. When a falcon gets too close the magpies get stuck into them and the crows, or ravens...

Re: Using Garlic

I use the one with the mother in. I use the ones made for poultry as I can get it at wholesale price from my suppliers. You could make a quid there, Andy. Get a 1000 litre pelican of it at, whatever it costs in pounds, put it in 1 and 5 and 10 litre containers, think of a catchy name.... Boom. :D

Re: Buzzards

What is a 'buzzard', Andy?
I am not sure what the equivalent is here.

Re: Todays weather.

They said there was a 'chance' of a thunderstorm. That translates as 'next to no possibility'. But there you go, it's raining really good and there's a fair bit of lightning around.

Re: Using Garlic

Because I could not get out to the orchard at one point, to buy the natural fermented ACV, when I was at the wholesaler buying stock for the Service station, I bought a bottle of cheap supermarket cider vinegar. I put some in the bottle the natural stuff had been in, and the 'mother' started growing...
