Wild bird seed, and apple cider vinegar in the water. I think it's looking ok. one of my railway birds.
Looking good mate, you really should try keeping racing pigeons my friend
Still trying to get agreement to keep 4 pairs, Maria is hard to deal with Trev.
she's only thinking of you my friend
The only thing I try to remember is what's the point in being the most miserable person in the cemetery !! It's all great giving being sensible and giving yourself a few extra years, which of course we all want, but what's the point if you can't do any of the things you enjoy !!
I hope you get your wish mate but try not to fall out over it
Back in 2016 my wife agreed that I could have a couple of pigeons in our small shed, I now have a 15ft x 6ft loft with 70 plus birds in it

Garlic contains a substance called Alliin. When the clove is crushed Alliin is oxidised and becomes Allicin. The oxidation continues and Allicin starts to break down. That is why garlic is most effective when freshly prepared. Over time it loses it's potency.
Because the amount of ACV in a drinker is small, I don't think it makes much difference.
No sorry Murray
I mean if garlic is placed in the ACV the actual bottle of it then used that way
I seen people use a product with both combined or cloves can be thrown in the bottle and left but just didn’t know if the goodness would work like that
The product I use has the Garlic in it, the only concern I have with that is that I buy a 5ltr bottle, as it works out cheaper, but by the time its finished it's gone well past its use by date and has been open for months, so is it any good still by that point ??

I wouldn't know. I suppose you could if you wanted to, but I am not convinced it would be as good. Reading up on it it appears that fresh garlic is more effective. And it only takes a moment to peel and bash a garlic clove with the flat of a knife, and chuck it in some water. About as long as it takes to measure out some pre made product.

Same here. I arrived home with a nest baby that had been abandoned. I raised him in a TV carton. Wife was immediately suspicious.....
Now I have about 12 pairs of stock birds in the shed.

Yes Trev, everyone keeps telling me the same thing, your health is more important. Maria asked me what does she have to do, to compete with these pigeons, I told her. Learn to fly,

Yes agree
My birds are not at home so it’s just a way of cutting down jobs once winter kicks in as I go in the dark cone home in the dark
I was just going to stuff some crushed cloves into my cider vin

It's hard enough looking after the birds at home in the Winter, it must be tough not having them on site so anything to make life easier must be worth trying !!
