Useful Tips
Getting Rid Of Canker
To get rid of canker and e-coli use 1 tbs of cinnamon to 1 kg of corn.
Use either 1 tbs of lime or lemon in the corn so that the cinnamon would adhere to the corn.
Give at least three times a week.
Healthy Feathers
To keep your pigeons' feathers shiny, add 1 tbs of apple cider vinegar to 2 gallons of bath water.
Let them take a bath at least once a week, twice a week if the weather is very warm.
Feeding Your Pigeons
Feeding pigeons is some-what of an art. The typical rule is to give a bird one tablespoon of food a day. However, when you have breeders and youngsters in nest, you need to give more food.
