Just been the market and picked up 5 boxes of the Eucalyptus leaves, great for making a tea for the birds.

I used to use the pigeon tea for my widowhood cocks on the day after racing back in the 90s. They did seem to like it. I did buy a box when I started back up but I think I only tried it once. The birds didn’t seem to want to drink it. It’s still in the cupboard but probably not much good now.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.

Back in the 90's I used to use a lot of Colombine Tea during the autumn/winter months

I've also used these herbal teas and tinctures too

The fact that I moved away from them tells you everything you need to know really

I purchased two eucalyptus plugs couple years ago they are now trees, one in front of each loft and I break the branches off and put in front of top openers
Sadies Lofts home of decent birds just a useless loft manager, and now a confirmed loser but proud :D :D

I think a lot of herbs are more for healthy living and later life but need to be taken constantly to work
I can’t see them turning me into mark cavendish

If i administer something I like to see/feel the impact of it

If I don't then I move away from it

But, you know, I was always results/performance focussed and based my judgements solely on that.

Shockingly to me some fanciers aren't, and I can never quite get my head around that.

If I had to spend an extra tenner a week to get me an extra yard on a Saturday, I say DEAL

I got 5 packets for around £4.00, these are for a young flyer. I get them for him every time i go away. He just boils some in water for 12 minutes. Then lets the water cool down and strain, he then puts the water in the drinker.
