This incident took place at a pigeon racing loft in China 🇨🇳!!

It was stated that a contagious virus 🦠 was involved.
But I find it hard to believe—it's more likely that an overdose of treatment was given, or the vaccine was too strong and wiped them all out at once 🤦.

As for animal attacks, there's no way—that's out of the question. The pigeons appear intact, with no bite marks or other signs 👌.

Symptoms of worms in birds

• birds are losing weight.

• Bloody diarrhoea.

• Pale and/or dry combs.

• birds puffing up while sitting.

• birds may be less active.

• birds stop laying eggs.

Diatomaceous Earth is often added into bird feed because it acts as a natural dewormer. It works by dehydrating the parasites and worms that exist internally

In addition to these valuable wellness benefits, apple cider vinegar for bird is often used in an effort to prevent worms. Some worms can attack a bird and cause it to become vulnerable rapidly. Apple Cider Vinegar's low pH destroys germs and worms

Veggies like carrots, beetroot, banana, apple, coconut, and papaya are rich in fiber and act as natural dewormers. Healthy dog treats with the goodness of such fruits and vegetables are extremely beneficial for their diet

Adding powdered cayenne pepper to their feeders, about 1 cup per 25 pounds, can also help keep worms from taking hold in the digestive tracts of your birds

quick enough, a simple garlic treatment usually sorts it. Crush a couple of garlic cloves per bird and put in a stocking – this stops it blocking up the water ni**le. Hang this in the water bucket and add a generous splosh of apple cider vinegar

USEFUL WAYS TO USE CHARCOAL IN BIRDS 🐦

🔷In the dust bath - charcoal or wood ash added to your chickens' dust bath helps to suffocate parasites such as mites, lice, fleas and ticks.

🔷 As a feed supplement - it has been observed that animals in the wild will gnaw on charred branches and stumps after a forest fire.

-Charcoal works as a laxative and detoxifier, flushing toxins out of the body.

- It will also help expel internal worms to some extent.

-Calcium is the most abundant element in wood ash, but it's also a good source of potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium.

-Adding wood ash to your chicken feed in a 1% ratio can improve lay rates, extend laying periods and will also reduce the smell of the chicken droppings.

- Ashes obtained from hardwoods like cedar, oak and maple have five times as many nutrients as softwoods like pine and balsa.

🔷As a wound healing agent - wood ash possesses antibacterial qualities which can prevent an open wound from becoming infected and also works to stop bleeding

-When ingested, the Vitamin K in the wood ash works to help blood clot and can reverse the effects of the coumadin in rat poison, for instance.

🔷To keep the coop clean - sprinkling wood ash on your coop floor can help reduce odors.

- Like baking soda, wood ash is alkaline and therefore will absorb and help neutralize bad smells. It will also help reduce the humidity levels in your coop.

🔷 To reduce the ammonia in your chickens' manure - adding charcoal in a ratio of 1-2% to your chicken feed can help prevent the creation of ammonia, leading to a more ammonia-free output from your chickens.

- Studies have found that it's effective in absorbing the ammonia and preventing fumes from forming.

🔷 To control impurities in the water - adding a chunk of charcoal to your waterer can help keep algae and other bacteria from forming and help absorb and filter out other impurities, while adding minerals to the water.

Oum Fanie Pretorius roller pigeons.

02/01/2025

The female falcon was equipped with a GPS tracker during its journey from South Africa to Finland, covering about 230 km per day.

It flew in a straight line across the African lands until it reached the desert in the north, then headed towards the path of the Nile River over Sudan and Egypt, then avoided flying over the Mediterranean Sea.

It crossed over Syria and Lebanon, and also avoided flying over the Black Sea, because if it got thirsty, it would not be able to drink from it.
It continued in a straight line and reached Finland after 42 days.
