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.

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

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

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,

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 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
