Hi Tony thank you for your kind comment. I actually thought that people wouldn't want to see my little back garden scratch built loft and birds. Everyone nowadays seems to want lofts that are more palatial than some houses I've lived in ha ha. But judging by the response to this little video people obviously do so I will endeavour to make some more. Until then though there are some other videos on my channel I have made last year if you feel you want to see them for now. Thanks again for your input Regards Dave

@tonypeters9763 That’s a shame I suppose I'm lucky my family have had pigeons since my great granddad but sadly none of the new generation don't seem interested so the family tradition will probably end with me. Shame really. I've just been involved in a film recording over the last 3 years for posterity what racing pigeons is all about as it's much more than just keeping them there’s the community, mental health, camaraderie etc. The film is called HOME produced by Nova Mundi Studios there’s a trailer on their website you may like hopefully the full film will be released soon 👍 Regards Dave

I’ve been making homemade milk kefir forever and giving to my racing pigeons but know one ever listens but a few. Cheap & easy to make. Very, very healthy for the racing pigeons. The best probiotic hands down!
@davebunkerbrierley24347 ай бұрын
Hi Brian I obviously totally agree. I use kefir myself on my bird’s, dog and now my daughter uses it successfully to improve her horses thus saving a small fortune on vet bills. I find pigeon fanciers like to pay money on products that at best do nothing. I saw one advertisement for one the other day saying it contained short chain fatty acids which I had just listened to one of the words top professor answering a question on them. He said that it would be great if humans had learnt to take fatty acids orally but at present it's impossible as they are destroyed in the stomach process and its the bacteria gut that make them. Still there was a picture of a pigeon on the tub and it was only £15 ! Regards Dave

Hi thank you for this but i did not understand what is the first thing in the big jar (kefir)? Can i buy kefir and put it on the grains without doing all you've done here? If not can we do that with youghurt? Im not a fancier nor i care for birds (in general) im just a girl tried rescuing 2 baby pigeons removed from nests but now they have either salmonella, cocci or E.coli..(some bacterial infection) but dont want to use antibiotics 😞

@@davebunkerbrierley2434 thank you so much for the reply. Im currently in Bulgaria but considering youghurt came out from Bulgaria as our country was the only one that had the good bacteria to create it (later government sold the recipe to Greece & people mistakenly think it is greek youghurt) i think i can find some good stuff here. Thanks again ❤ P.s do you know if i give a mixture of kefir & garlic oil & oregano tea for 7 days will be ok?

@davebunkerbrierley2434 Жыл бұрын
Hi Martin for breeding I would give the parents from pairing twice a week then from youngbirds hatching till leaving the nest every other day. Then revert to twice a week to maintain health. For racing twice a week but give to them after the race upon their return especially if it it’s been a hard race. Hope this helps you Regards Dave
