animallover5109,

It is good you joined this site, like me you have lots to learn. You can send poop samples to http://www.foyspigeonsupplies.com/ and they can tell you if you have any problems, worms or illnesses. You can also order wooden eggs from this site. To help your birds give them water with Apple Cider Vineger, (ACV) in it twice a week, (1tbsn to a gal of water). crush or chop one clove of garlic and put in a gallon of water and give twice a week. Give the garlic one day then the ACV the next. Ensure you give them fresh water everyday. These two things are cheap and help keep your birds healthy. Always keep any new birds you get separate from the other birds for at least two weeks to ensure they are not sick. There are some meds you are going to need to have on hand but let's check out the poop first.

Welcome to the world of birds a beautiful world it is,
Tony

they will get tired of sitting and just leave them after a few weeks, then you can take them up, and it starts all over again.

I looked on the web site and this is the contact number:

DROPPINGS ANALYSIS SERVICE
Would you like to know if your birds are well? How about a unique service that 100’s have taken advantage of and are now “in the know”?! Send in samples of your bird’s droppings and we’ll analyze them for you. Here is what you do. On the day you plan on mailing the droppings to us, this is the best day to collect them. The freshest droppings is what we want. Go from perch to perch, collect some off the floor or in the nest box. Put these fresh droppings in 2 ziplock bags. We want a heaping tablespoon in each bag. Put these 2 ziplock bags in a padded envelope, available at the Post Office or office supply store. Do not mail the droppings in a regular envelope. We will have these droppings tested and in 3 or 4 days after we get the samples, we’ll call you with the results. It would be helpful if you could describe your pigeon’s health problems. If only 1 bird is sick, you can bet the others are also sick but not showing symptoms yet.

Droppings are to be mailed to:
Foy's Pet Supplies
3185 Bennett's Run Rd.
Beaver Falls, PA 15010


#8000 Droppings Analysis (2 samples) $25.00

You can check with the local vets and see if they do the test but this is a good price.

As for wooden or plastic eggs, if you do the poop sample I'll send you the eggs for free. That will save you a little money and I bought more that I ever need. You need two eggs per nest. Main thing is let's get your birds checked. PM me if you want the help and how many eggs you need. Please start the garlic because it is a natural antibiotic and will help until we find out what going on. also the ACV helps the gut digest food.

Please contact Foy's Pet Supplies at 1-877-355-7727 for mailing instructions.

Forgot the number, Sorry.

Ya i emailed one of the guys and he said that he doesn't do the analasis anymore. I emailed him a couple hours ago. So i am going to an aviary vet clinic. Do you think all Aviary Vet clinics have a poop analasis test?????
