Re: Getting the right nutrition fed.
We were discussing getting the feeding right, and I thought I would mention what I have found in the last week. Because the young birds were a bit 'on the tooth', I added a bit of maize and peas to the mix, and increased the amount a little. This seemed to satisfy them, but the last week they seem t...

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.

Life in Bendigo.
I was out at my other service station at Inglewood, about 30 miles from Bendigo, when my phone went 'Toooot'. Message from wife. "Your bloody kitten! He climbed up onto the sputnik and went through the bars into the loft!. "Luckily I saw him and when I got there he was looking unsure about...
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.
The closest I can see from the interweb is the kite, which is a bin chicken. They hover in huge numbers over rubbish dumps.

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. The cats are funny. Olly is under the bed. :shock: Banjo is on the dining table pretending to be asleep. Flynn is at t...
