WANT TO BUY PIGEONS?<br />
Foy’s has it’s own lofts and raises top quality Racing Homers<br />
and Rollers. We do on occasion; buy these breed from other<br />
breeders, as there are times we run low on some birds. We<br />
guarantee that if we send you a pair of birds, they will be a cock<br />
and a hen. We suggest you call the office before ordering; to be<br />
sure we can fill your specific order. You may visit our lofts, and<br />
we would be glad to spend time with you, but you must call to<br />
make an appointment to visit.<br />
The Purebred Pigeon magazine and Racing Pigeon Digest have<br />
classified sections of birds for sale, and we suggest you call and<br />
possibly subscribe to one or both of these top quality pigeon<br />
publications.<br />

Dan - Dan joined us in 2019 and we are<br />
very pleased to have him on board. I call<br />
him Dan - Dan the Pigeon Man because he<br />
is the first employee to have a real interest<br />
in keeping pigeons. Dan works in our<br />
warehouse, packs orders, drives the fork<br />
lift, and whatever he is asked to do he does.<br />
20 years ago, Vickie and Jerry Gagne had<br />
the opportunity to purchase the most respected<br />
pigeon supply company in America.<br />
We are so proud of the <strong>Foy's</strong> growth<br />
and especially pleased to know both of us<br />
are semi-retired. Two of our daughters are<br />
president and vice president of <strong>Foy's</strong>.<br />
After 18 years at the old building, we moved to a much more convenient building.<br />
It is all on one floor. The new facility includes offices (4), packing areas (3),<br />
and a store with most products on shelves with a display of many of the baskets<br />
we stock. Connected directly to the packing area with direct access to the<br />
warehouse. The approximately 6000 square feet of storage, contains all of our<br />
bulk feeds, shelf after shelf of what we call hard goods. The hard goods include<br />
feeders, drinkers, baskets, floor grills, tobacco stems, nest bowls, perches,<br />
nest boxes, nest fronts, lots of books, and much, much more. The warehouse<br />
also includes a full size forklift and pallet jacks for narrow spaces. There is also<br />
a loading dock where trucks may back in for unloading as well as a place to unload all the international containers. With all this new<br />
space, we still use another off site storage building. One of the biggest benefits to our visiting customers is the location. We are on Rte.<br />
51 which is also called Constitution Blvd. This location is accessed from the Pennsylvania Turnpike or Rte. 376. The address is for the<br />
city of New Brighton, which is our mailing address, but we are across the river from New Brighton. We encourage our customers to visit<br />
during normal business hours, 9-5 and we are opened Monday thru Friday, but if you would like to visit on a weekend, arrangements<br />
could be made. The new location, as of March 2017, is about 20 minutes from the old location, but if you want to visit our lofts, you must<br />
call and let us know. My lofts are at our old location, just outside of Beaver Falls, Pa. <strong>Foy's</strong> is now the largest pigeon supply company<br />
in America, and after 138 years, we continue to grow and add new customers regularly.<br />

There is no product anyone sells that will replace sound loft management. If you are a beginner or “old pro”, it makes good sense to<br />
invest in a good book that will answer many basic or often complex questions. #9010 or #804 are both good books which cover all<br />
phases of pigeon raising. The book on pigeon health that I recommend is #805 or #9010. If you are in the white dove release business,<br />
I suggest "White Pigeons, The Color of Money" #9002.<br />
FEEDING<br />
If you fly, show or race your birds, you must control the feed consumption. If you feed your birds and after 20 minutes or so, there is still<br />
feed left, you are feeding too much. If they eat everything but leave some that they don’t like, I give them the leftovers the next day. Do<br />
not allow uneaten feed to stay on the floor overnight, it will become contaminated and may result in sick birds. I suggest feeding twice<br />
a day, morning and evening. I strongly recommend that you do your best to feed a mixed grain or pellet that is made for pigeons.<br />
WATER<br />
Many diseases are transmitted through the drinking water. It seems like birds think of their drinking water as a target. I’ve yet to find a<br />
waterer that the birds can’t foul. It is a must to change water every day, twice a day is even better. When adding medications or vitamins<br />
to the water, it is even more important to change the water every day. If you place the water drinker in the same place every day, make<br />
sure the area under and around the drinker is dry. Dampness creates a perfect environment for disease to develop. I move my waterer<br />
from place to place, thus allowing each location to dry. My favorite drinker and the only one I use is the #315 Large Ideal Drinker. It is<br />
easy to clean and holds a gallon, which is important when adding medications, vitamins, etc. to the water. When the directions are to<br />
add to a gallon of water, I do not have to measure out a gallon of the water. I just add the product and fill the pan. I also do not use a<br />
heater. I just use two bowls for each pen, bring a clean one out, and bring the used one back in the house for cleaning. Keep in mind<br />
that if you use lots of Apple Cider Vinegar, stay away from metal drinkers. This is true of any product that is acidic. The acid eats away<br />
at the metal. The same is true of grit.<br />
GRIT<br />
Grit consumption changes from season to season. When you are breeding, they seem to eat more grit than feed. The reason for this is<br />
the production of eggs in the hen and the mating process. Make sure good clean grit is in front of them at all times. Do not rely on granite<br />
grit alone. Your birds need grit containing trace minerals and oyster shell. If you are using granite grit for chickens, I would suggest you<br />
add grit concentrate, #676, to 50 lbs. of this grit. If you are using a regular pigeon grit, keep it clean and fresh. I use pigeon grit, but also<br />
add pick pots, #5062. The bird’s body tells it what it needs and you’ll notice a change in consumption as the seasons change.<br />
OVERCROWDING<br />
Birds are very fast breeders and without planning, most people have too many birds. Never a day goes by that when I ask a fancier how<br />
many birds they have, the answer is “too many”. If you don’t have the heart to cull or a way to dispose of birds, plan for the future. The<br />
best thing to do is to separate all your hens and cocks and put them together only when it is breeding season. Another method is the<br />
use of wood or plastic eggs, #155 or #3474. Dispose of a freshly laid set of eggs and the birds will set the dummy eggs for up to three<br />
weeks, thus slowing down the young bird production. Have you thought of throwing one egg, from each clutch, away? When the pair<br />
raises only one young at a time, the young are usually healthier and grow faster. If you allow your loft to become overcrowded, disease<br />
will pay your birds a visit.<br />
JERRY'S TIPS ON FEEDING - WATER - FEED - CARE<br />
FLOOR COVERING<br />
Nothing is more important than having a dry loft. Over the years I have tried just about every type of floor covering. In 2008, I ordered<br />
a new product from Belgium called Natural Granulated Floor Covering. The floor covering is a natural product consisting of lava drawn<br />
from the subsoil and has exceptional absorbing power. A very dry floor helps stop the contamination cycle of parasites such as Coccidiosis<br />
and eggs of intestinal worms. I used a small pitch fork to pick up the clumps under perching areas and rake the floor. I replace<br />
the floor covering once every 6 months to a year. I think this is the best floor covering you could possibly use. The next best would be<br />
sand, followed by corn cob. Do not use straw or hay, as it holds moisture. Shavings and sawdust are messy and dusty.<br />
FEED<br />
I strongly suggest you feed mixed grain pigeon feed or pigeon pellets, and suggest you stay away from scratch feed or poultry pellets.<br />
If you can not find a pigeon feed in your area, check with the companies that advertise in this catalog. They may know someone in your<br />
area. Breeders may share with you where they get their feed. Keeping your feed vermin proof is very important, and a plastic or metal<br />
barrel with a lid, is a good way to do that. I use a 5 gallon bucket with a lid to hold feed in small loft sections and most of the time I use<br />
plastic trash cans with a lid. Hardly a day goes by that we don't ship out bags of feed in 10 lb., 44 lb., or 50 lb.<br />
GENERAL INFORMATION<br />
If there was just one loft management plan, I’d write a book about it. A sound plan really is one that works for you and most importantly,<br />
works for the well being of your pigeons. The plan is really based on you, the breed(s) you raise, what part of the country you are in and<br />
whether you show, race, fly or use your birds for ceremonies. Other variables include loft location, type of feed, the hours you have available<br />
and on and on.<br />
There are some basics however. I talk to people all day about the health of their pigeons. Most people do not vaccinate and all people<br />
should. It is something anyone can do. You need to vaccinate for Paramyxovirus (PMV) and Paratyphoid (Salmonella). The PMV and<br />
Paratyphoid may be done at the same time, and the best place to vaccinate the bird is behind the neck. I still use the regular syringe and<br />
needles #177 and #505 on page 33. Should you have a question or concern in regards to vaccinating, call <strong>Foy's</strong>.<br />

I am not a big believer in using antibiotics or medicines as preventatives. I think you should have medications on hand in case of an<br />
outbreak. I do believe you should treat, before breeding, except for worms, Canker and Coccidiosis. We have individual treatments for<br />
all three. You should rotate, from time to time, to prevent your birds from building up a resistance. 3-1 Powder treats worms, canker<br />
and coccidiosis.<br />
What should I have on hand? I tell people to try to prevent and treat only if you must. Yes, you should have a few meds on hand, but<br />
with today's fast shipping, most products would be received in 2-3 days. I would suggest having on hand, products for canker, worms<br />
and Coccidiosis. That product would be 3-1 Powder (#2500).<br />
JERRY'S TIPS ON PIGEON HEALTH<br />
One eyed colds are quite common and sometimes all you need to do is remove the perch. Some birds roost in a draft and you do not<br />
even know it. If moving the perch doesn't help, I would try Spiradox Tablets or 1 Drop 1 Eye 1 Time. A good treatment for Paratyphoid<br />
(Salmonella) is Furazolidone, Furaltadone 20% or Typhoid Cure.<br />
Coccidiosis is easy to control, but keep in mind that Coccidiosis will develop resistance to a drug and I strongly suggest you rotate<br />
drugs after 2 or 3 uses. Testing your droppings by a vet who was a pigeon fancier, through <strong>Foy's</strong>, will reveal many problems such as<br />
Coccidiosis and Worms.<br />
I like to keep tablets around to treat individual birds when it is the only bird that is ill in my whole flock. I segregate it and treat individually.<br />
If I am not sure what the problem is, I use Tony's Divet or Amoxicillin tablets. If I suspect Canker, I would suggest Aviotrich<br />
Tablets and if I suspect worms I would try Wormout Plus Tablets or Ekto/Endo. The best thing to do, when not sure what the problem<br />
is, would be to SEND IN A SAMPLE OF THE DROPPINGS. We have a Vet, who is also a pigeon fancier, as an associate. He will<br />
look at the droppings under a microscope, and in most cases, tell you what the problem is and suggest a method of treatment. For<br />
more information and how to send the droppings, please go to page 17.<br />
Parasites are always a problem. I dip my birds in a 5 gallon bucket, with about 3 gallons of warm water, mixed with Permectrin II, as<br />
directed. Dusting also helps control parasites on the birds, although most drop off when the birds fly. I would suggest Diatomaceous<br />
Earth as a dusting powder. #572 Bug Spray does an excellent job. Do not dip birds on a hot day.<br />
Be sure to remember that when you use any drug on a pigeon, you must not eat them. No one really knows how long it takes for a<br />
drug to clear out of a pigeon’s system. If you’re raising them to eat, then make it natural for your health’s sake.<br />

I spend a lot of my time talking or answering e-mail inquiries, in regards to health concerns with pigeons. I welcome your calls, and<br />
will do my very best to help, but you should be prepared to answer questions, which will help me help you. I strongly suggest you try<br />
to develop a relationship with a veterinarian when possible. Some of the questions I will ask, and I hope you will be able to answer are;<br />
What do the birds look like? How do they act? What color are their droppings? What kind of pigeons do you have? Do<br />
you feed grains or pellets? What treatments have you tried and for how long? There will be other questions based on your<br />
answers, but the initial questions are very important. Over the years I have had thousands of discussions of health issues in regards to<br />
pigeons. Over the last few years, I have compiled a list on issues and answers to questions asked. I add to this list on a regular basis,<br />
and this information is supplied to all of <strong>Foy's</strong> employees to use when asked about a pigeon's health issues. If you would like a copy of<br />
the HEALTH TIPS I have created, contact <strong>Foy's</strong> on how to get the exact same pamphlet I have created for all of our employees. I write<br />
health tips based on all the questions I receive from customers, and offer these to my employees, as an aid in answering questions and<br />
learning more about pigeon health. If you would like a copy of these, JERRY’S TIPS may be purchased for only $10.00, this includes<br />
postage. Ask for #9009, JERRY’S HEALTH TIPS.<br />
We sell quite a few perches and each fills a particular need or situation. I raise solid (White) Racing Homers, regular Racing<br />
Homers, and unusual colored Homers. Because I am trying to save cleaning time, I find that my favorite perches are the Space Saver<br />
and the Block Perch. The question arises about bird droppings hitting the bird on the perch below. If your birds are healthy it is like<br />
water off a ducks back. Recent addition of the nest box choices has created new favorites, once more, because they are easy to clean.<br />
I use all the different nest boxes so that I may share my favorites. I use different feeders depending on my needs. All of my lofts use<br />
the wood feeder with guard. I use the #1073 for grit, and each of the other sizes #1070, #1074 or #1075, depending on the number<br />
of birds in each section,<br />
I realize that many who receive this catalog are just beginning in pigeons and here are some random hints: It is OK to handle<br />
eggs or young in the nest. I have switched young around from nest to nest, as long as the age is close to the same. Birds do not need<br />
a bath, but do love to take baths. Dump the bath water as soon as they stop using it. All birds should be vaccinated to prevent PMV,<br />
Pigeon Pox, and Paratyphoid. Change the drinking water every day. Separate the young into a separate section as soon as they are<br />
old enough. You can tell if the young is old enough by checking under the wings. If you see no bare skin, then the bird is old enough<br />
to be moved.<br />
I certainly hope this information is of some use to you and remember….the reason we have so many choices is that everyone<br />
has a different idea or need.<br />
Jerry Gagne
NEW BIRDS IN THE LOFT<br />
I receive so many questions in regards to sickness in a loft. In<br />
a great majority of the questions, I find out that the breeder has<br />
recently added new birds to the loft, and did not quarantine<br />
the birds for a period of time (30 days). You may be adding<br />
perfectly healthy birds, but either your birds or the new birds<br />
are not resistant to the same strains of a disease, and sickness<br />
may be introduced to the loft. It is best, if possible, to keep the<br />
birds in a separate building, if this is not an option, keep the<br />
new birds separate as much as possible. While in quarantine,<br />
keep a close watch and make sure the birds are healthy. You<br />
may want to treat with 3-1 powder which treats the 3 most<br />
common problems that pigeons have. If you observe what you<br />
think might be a problem, call us at Foy’s and we will discuss<br />
it. Over crowding your loft is an invitation for disease to rear it’s<br />
ugly head. The birds are in the best health during cold months,<br />
but in the warm weather, over crowding will create problems in<br />
a hurry. A cubic meter would be approximately 40”high X 40”<br />
wide X 40” long. This is the space one pigeon would take.<br />
DISEASE BY NAME<br />
• PMV - Birds should not be vaccinated any earlier than 3<br />
weeks of age. Symptoms become worse when the bird is<br />
under any type of stress. Vaccination during an outbreak is<br />
recommended. An improvement may be noticed in the droppings<br />
and the watery appearance will improve. No improvement<br />
to the symptoms such as shaking, twisted neck, flying<br />
irrationally, will occur after vaccination. Serious loft cleaning<br />
and regular disinfection of food and water containers with<br />
bleach is suggested. Young birds need two shots. They<br />
have not developed any immune system and the first shot is<br />
a primer. The second shot, 3-4 weeks later, is the antibody.<br />
Adult Birds: If never vaccinated, it is the same as the young<br />
birds. If vaccinated last year, they only get one vaccination.<br />
• Coccidiosis - Treatments should be rotated between 2 or 3<br />
different products as resistance to a particular product develops<br />
after just a few treatments.<br />
• Canker - Treatment should also be rotated between products<br />
to prevent resistance.<br />
• One Eye Colds - A wet eye may be an early sign of Ornithosis<br />
or may simply be a result of injury. It may also be the<br />
result of a draft or poor ventilation. If it is a harmless inflammation<br />
it will disappear as a result of isolation in a warm, draft<br />
free location in as short a period as 24 hours.<br />
• Adenovirus - Large volume of droppings, foul smelling<br />
and green in color. Many times complicated by e-coli and<br />
often result in rapidly lost condition and high death rate. See<br />
Viruses.<br />
• Worms - Pigeons with hairworms are very prone to Coccidiosis.<br />
Coccidiosis is resistant to treatment until the hairworm is<br />
controlled.<br />
• Pigeon Pox - Adult pigeons can show lesions and be completely<br />
symptom free within three to four weeks, or more.<br />
• Herpes Virus - In young birds, symptoms include being<br />
hunched up, fluffed feathers and they move jerkily. Odd head<br />
positions and crooked neck are common. Adult birds may<br />
act depressed, lose weight, have nasal discharge, dirty<br />
wattles and yellowish liquid in the mouth.<br />
• Mycoplasmosis - Many times slime found in the throat<br />
and threads of slime run from the throat to the roof of<br />
the mouth. You can sometimes press down on the nostrils and<br />
push out slime.<br />
• Ulcerative Enteritis - Symptoms include the sudden onslaught<br />
of profuse, smelly diarrhea followed by sudden weight loss. The<br />
crop may be filled with undigested seeds.<br />
• PMV and Paratyphoid - Vaccines may be given simultaneously<br />
to adult birds. Vaccination is best. Vaccinate your birds<br />
to prevent Paratyphoid.<br />
Paratyphoid- I am of the opinion that Paratyphoid is an epidemic<br />
in this country and is a very difficult disease to get rid of.<br />
Symptoms may include some or all. Twisted Neck, difficulty in<br />
flying or eating, dropped wing, wing boil, limp, green droppings,<br />
young dying in the shell, one young dies in the nest and the other<br />
seems fine, young dying after they are weaned and more. As you<br />
will no doubt realize, it is difficult to diagnose Paratyphoid, if you<br />
have concerns that your birds have Paratyphoid, contact Foy’s.<br />
BREEDING SEASON<br />
I always recommend separating the hens and cocks when you<br />
are done with the breeding, until the next breeding season. If<br />
you are unable to do this, close off access to the nest boxes,<br />
Yes, some will insist on breeding and lay eggs on the floor, but<br />
you cannot stop that. Separating gives them a break and time<br />
to rest from the stress of mating, laying eggs, and caring for<br />
young. Pigeons lay two egg, and the incubation does not start<br />
until the second egg is laid. Pigeons must be offered a nest box,<br />
nest bowl and in most cases, nesting material such as tobacco<br />
stems or straw, not hay. Some breeders use only beach sand.<br />
The cock sets the eggs from about 11 A.M. to 4 P.M. the hen<br />
the rest of the time. If you want to know which is the hen, go in<br />
a dusk or night, she will be on the eggs. I mark my cocks with<br />
a blue marker band and my hens with a pink. If you want to<br />
reduce the number of young you raise, throw one of the eggs<br />
away, the one resulting young will usually be stronger as it does<br />
not have to compete for food. You can switch eggs and young<br />
around, just so they are about the same age. You can handle the<br />
eggs at any time. If you do not want to raise any more young,<br />
give the pair a bit of rest, and replace the eggs with false eggs.<br />
Breeding is stressful, this is a good time to supplement the feed<br />
or water with vitamins and probiotics, a good choice is Ultra Pro.<br />
Mark all your eggs with the date laid in case you want to switch<br />
them around. I use a sharpie pen and write the date on each<br />
egg.<br />
FEED & GRIT<br />
I would not recommend any feed accept feed made for pigeons.<br />
Mixed grains or pigeon pellets are the best. If you are<br />
medicating your birds with a med that ends in “cycline” take<br />
the grit away<br />
Grit is a must, and once again, I recommend a pigeon grit, not<br />
a poultry grit. If you can not get pigeon grit, consider our Grit<br />
Concentrate, added to poultry grit. Lack of grit could result in<br />
rough or soft eggs, and sometimes it will result in a temporary<br />
inability to walk, due to lack of calcium, right after the hen lays.<br />
1 bag of concentrate to 50 lbs. of poultry grit.<br />
MISCELLANEOUS<br />
• High pitched whooping sounds may not be respiratory. It<br />
could be a small feather or grain husk caught against the wind-<br />

pipe. It, will most of the time, work its way out.<br />
• A chest that blows up like a balloon may be caused by<br />
a ruptured air sac leaking under the skin. This many times is<br />
caused during flight and is probably due to a blow or strain.<br />
Usually, all that is needed is rest but air can be bled thru a<br />
hypodermic needle.<br />
• Amprolium - Do not combine with anything containing<br />
Vitamin B during and for a few days after using amprolium.<br />
• Oxytetracycline - May be combined with Tylan.<br />
• Chlortetracycline - May be combined with Tylan.<br />
• Tylan - May be combined with Oxytetracycline and Chlortetracycline.<br />
• Doxycycline - May be combined with Tylan.<br />
• Grit - If you are using any medicine that the name ends with<br />
"cycline", take away the grit.<br />
• Eggs hatch 18 days after the second egg is laid.<br />
• Wet or discolored nose wattles are an indication of an<br />
upper respiratory problem. It also may be there because<br />
they are feeding young.<br />
• If you have had pigeon flies in your birds, do not use loft<br />
scrapings in or near gardens or flower beds. Newly hatched<br />
pigeon flies will return to the loft.<br />
• Think long and hard about introducing new pigeons,<br />
especially youngsters, into your loft. Your birds could infect<br />
the new birds or the new birds could infect young birds.<br />
• Add 2 cc Ivermectin Inj. to each gallon of bath water. It<br />
will kill lice and if they drink it, it will help worm but may not be<br />
strong enough to be counted on as a complete wormer.<br />
• Put your perches on one wall, when possible, this will<br />
make it easier to clean up droppings which will mostly be<br />
under the perches.<br />
• Ronidazole is the most popular Canker treatment, but has<br />
been used for so long, that pigeons have started to resist it’s<br />
benefits. The 10% is no longer strong enough, double the<br />
normal dosage of the 10% Ronidazole or switch to the stronger<br />
Ronidazole 25%.<br />
• Pigeons moult once a year. If you notice feathers all over<br />
the loft, and this continues for a period of time, your flock is<br />
most likely going thru the moult. There will be all kind of feathers,<br />
not just the large wing feathers. Give consideration to a<br />
product designed to create a good moult.<br />
• Do not give Garlic before a race or flight.<br />
• Want to add weight to your pigeons? Try raw peanuts,<br />
unsalted of course.<br />
• If your birds go light at about two weeks old, parents stop<br />
feeding, parents drink a lot of water and the parents go crazy<br />
for grit and eat just about all the grit you put In front of them,<br />
these are typical signs of Clostridium crop and intestinal<br />
infection. Try using a combination of Muscle & Wing plus Entromune<br />
and Avio Gel for 7 days. Dose all ill birds separately<br />
with Muscle & Wing for 7 days.<br />
• If a single bird in the flock shows difficulty in breathing, with<br />
a whistling sound, the most likely causes are either a fungal<br />
or Canker.<br />
• If a squab is Gurgling, it is most common just prior to<br />
weaning, often there appears to be very little wrong with<br />
these youngsters and the problem usually goes away when<br />
weaned.<br />
• Metronidazole can be combined with Spiramycin. Highly<br />
effective against enteritis and respiratory infections.<br />
• The difference between bacterial infections and viruses<br />
is that you can kill bacterial infections with antibiotics but you<br />
cannot kill viruses. The virus must run its course.<br />
• Try swapping drugs from time to time. When you use one<br />
drug too long, the effects will gradually be reduced.<br />
• When using drugs, follow the directions and complete the<br />
treatment as directed. If you use it for say 3-4 days and not the<br />
7 days as directed, you may be doing more harm than good.<br />
• If you have a history of Canker problems, treat before<br />
breeding season and check the young in the nest on a regular<br />
basis. You may use some canker meds while the birds are<br />
laying on eggs. Pigeons may have Canker with no sign of the<br />
yellow cheesy stuff most fanciers look for. Ronidazole is a very<br />
safe Canker med.<br />
• On occasion, a young in the nest will develop splayed leg.<br />
One leg will stick out from the body. This is almost always<br />
caused by a smooth surface in the nest bowl, and there is only<br />
one young in the nest. If older than 10 days this condition is<br />
irreversible.<br />
• You should not use most antibiotics when you have<br />
very young birds in the nest. The use of Ampicillin, doxycycline,<br />
baytril (enrofloxin), streptomycin and gentamycin should<br />
not be considered.<br />
• Ivermectin, Baytril (enrofloxin), gentamycin and metronidazole,<br />
used during the breeding season, may cause infertility.<br />
• Without Vitamin D3, calcium cannot be absorbed from the<br />
gut. In addition to Grit, give products that include Vitamin D3<br />
It is very important to pigeons that they receive a continuous<br />
intake of calcium, during the breeding season. Give the hens<br />
calcium after the breeding season.<br />
• Garlic is very useful for pigeons. The Alkaloids of Garlic<br />
affect bacteria directly, just like antibiotics, without major side<br />
effects.<br />
• Paratyphoid and Salmonella are the same thing.<br />
• When you are advised to quarantine your birds, if possible,<br />
the quarantined pigeons should not even share air space with<br />
the other birds. Quarantine should be a minimum of 30 days.<br />
• Pigeons molt once a year, and if you used a drug during the<br />
molt, you should not have. The effects could last for next 12<br />
months.<br />
• If you have “HARD” water, it may ruin some drugs. Tetracycline<br />
or gentamycin in particular. Boil “Hard” water beforehand.<br />
• Aloe Vera strengthens the immune system and hastens<br />
recovery after illness.<br />
• When using tetracyclines, you may combine with apple<br />
cider vinegar.<br />
• You may want to consider feeding your flying youngsters a<br />
high protein diet, not over 18%. This higher protein diet encourages<br />
growth and development. When you’re flying breeds<br />
begin to fly longer periods, say up to an hour, modify the diet to<br />
a lower protein.<br />
• Want to put weight on your birds, try adding raw whole<br />
peanuts to the birds diet. Peanuts contain almost 50% fat and<br />
30% protein. Add 6-7 peanuts per bird on average would be<br />
enough, for Racing Homers, building up reserves and stamina,<br />
peanuts may be the way to go.<br />
• Tobacco Stems are good nesting material and help reduce<br />
parasites. Try soaking them and shaping them to fit inside the<br />
bowl; dry completely before putting them in nest bowl.<br />
• Enteritis means an inflammation of the digestive tract.<br />
• Keep your carrying baskets clean. Parasites will live in the<br />
basket as it collects droppings. Clean it and disinfect it regularly.<br />

Feather Lice<br />
Symptoms:<br />
Small black lice can be seen on feathers next to the shaft.<br />
Constant preening. Lice do not cause any disease but is a sign<br />
of better care needs to be taken into consideration. Look at the<br />
inside of wings.<br />
How do you diagnose?:<br />
You should see them with the naked eye, but may want to use a<br />
magnifying glass.<br />
Prevention:<br />
Regularly dipping the birds in Permectrin II (#707/#709) as<br />
directed. Spray suspected cases with #572 Bug Spray.<br />
Treatment:<br />
Spray, dip or powder. Secticide Spray, Permectrin II on a bimonthly<br />
program until the problem is solved.<br />
Pigeon Fly<br />
From a family of biting flies, the most common is the Pigeon Fly.<br />
Symptoms:<br />
Restlessness<br />
Stamping of feet<br />
Fast moving fly between the feathers<br />
Carrier of Malaria in pigeons<br />
How do I know if I have pigeon flies?:<br />
Close examination of the birds feathers, the fly will dart in and<br />
out, trying to hide.<br />
Prevention:<br />
Clean all the nest bowls, nest boxes and loft, regularly. Do<br />
not dump loft droppings close to the loft. Prevent any strange<br />
pigeons from entering the loft. If you use the deep litter system,<br />
do not allow dampness. Spray all the birds, if possible, every<br />
eight weeks. Be sure to spray under the wings and all the tail<br />
feathers.<br />
Red Mites<br />
Symptoms:<br />
Pigeons become restless especially in the evening. Mites move<br />
to the pigeons in the evening. Mites feed on pigeons sucking<br />
blood in the evening. They breed in the loft but not on the<br />
pigeons. They live in cracks and crevices.<br />
Diagnosis:<br />
Place cotton balls in the loft after dark. Examine the cotton<br />
balls in the daylight to see small pin head sized red mites.<br />
Prevention/Treatment:<br />
Regular effective disinfection of the loft with a pyrethrum product<br />
such as Bug Spray #572. Spray every 2 months. Apply Ekto/<br />
Endo #2516 to the back of the neck as directed. Perch Oil<br />
#7032 has been proven to be very effective against Red Mites.<br />
Scaly-Leg Mite<br />
A burrowing skin mite. Sometimes will burrow under the skin of<br />
the feet and lay their eggs in tunnels that they create when they<br />
entered. They may be seen on any part of the body and cause<br />
irritation. Another common spot to find them is under the<br />
beak in the crop area. They leave bald spots on the chest<br />
and top of the head.<br />
Treatment and Prevention:<br />
Treatment and prevention is accomplished using Ivermectin or<br />
Moxidectin #585. The use of Ekto/Endo has proven very effective,<br />
#2516 and rotate with #2514. Many times it only affects one<br />
or two birds in the loft.<br />
INTERNAL PARASITES<br />
Roundworms<br />
Symptoms:<br />
Lethargic, fluffed up<br />
Loss of weight<br />
Slimy wet droppings<br />
Death of youngsters as a result of blockage of the intestines.<br />
Transmission:<br />
Adult worms lay eggs in the intestine.<br />
Worms pass thru the droppings.<br />
Eggs have to be in a moist warm environment for a few days<br />
for the larval stage to develop.<br />
Infected eggs may be picked up and eaten.<br />
Larvae are released in the intestine of pigeons.<br />
Larvae grow to adults that start laying eggs within 14 days<br />
Larvae migrate to the liver and lungs.<br />
Diagnosis:<br />
Microscopic examination will identify the worm eggs.<br />
Prevention:<br />
Keep loft dry and clean.<br />
Keep carrying baskets clean.<br />
Prevent strange pigeons from entering loft.<br />
New birds should be segregated, for 30 days, and treated<br />
before mixing with other birds.<br />
Treat preventively every 8-12 weeks.<br />
Treatment:<br />
Levamisole #2523<br />
Fenbendazole (Wormout Gel) #74<br />
Pyrantel (Avioworm) #2515<br />
Ivermectin #581<br />
Ekto/Endo #2516<br />
Hairworms<br />
Symptoms:<br />
Lethargic and do not want to fly long. Wet droppings, sometimes<br />
with a spot of blood. Dramatic weight loss. Death in<br />
youngsters due to anemia.<br />
Transmission:<br />
Adult worms lay large number of eggs in the pigeons intestine.<br />
Worm eggs are passed thru the droppings. Larval stage<br />
develops in the egg. Worms eggs develop in a moist worm<br />
environment. Infected eggs are eaten by the pigeons. Larvae<br />
grow to adults in 14 days<br />
Diagnosis:<br />
Microscope will find them in the droppings. Necropsy will find<br />
them in the intestine.<br />
Prevention:<br />
Keep lofts clean and dry. Make sure all your carrying baskets<br />
are cleaned effectively and all droppings removed. Prevent<br />
stray birds from entering the loft. Segregate all new birds for<br />
30 days before mixing with current birds. Treat preventively<br />
every 8-12 weeks.<br />
Treatment:<br />
Levamisole #2523<br />
Fenbendazole (Wormout Gel) #74<br />
Ivermectin #581<br />
Pyrantel (Avioworm) #2515<br />
Ekto/Endo #2516<br />

Tapeworms<br />
Symptoms:<br />
Common reason for poor performance. Emaciation (Loss of<br />
lots of weight). Tapeworm segments may be seen hanging<br />
out of their rear. Not a common worm.<br />
Transmission:<br />
Segments of tapeworm filled with eggs are excreted in the<br />
droppings<br />
Eggs are ingested by the intermediate host. The eggs develop<br />
in the host such as ants, snails, beetles and mites. The<br />
host is ingested when the pigeon eats it.<br />
Diagnosis:<br />
Visual examination of the stool will reveal small pin head sized<br />
segments.<br />
Prevention:<br />
Strict control of insects in and around the loft. Clean feed to<br />
prevent food lice that may carry the Tapeworms.<br />
Treatment:<br />
Praziquantel which is found in Avioworm Powder #2515,<br />
Ekto/Endo Tablets, Wormout Tablets #38, Wormout Gel #74.<br />
Lungworms<br />
Symptoms:<br />
Pigeons tend to yawn and keep their beak open for a few<br />
seconds after yawning. Clicking type coughing in the<br />
evening. Extremely poor flying performance. Necropsy will<br />
reveal worms in the throat.<br />
Treatment: Clean loft and loft area. Insect control in and<br />
around loft.<br />
Treatments: Ivomectin #581 is the only effective treatment.<br />
Paratyphoid<br />
Paratyphoid is quite common in pigeons, and prevention attempts<br />
are so important. If you do take preventive steps, you<br />
will never know if you would have got the disease had you<br />
done nothing, but is it worth the risk? Initial symptoms may<br />
be mild to severe enteritis with green and tinged sloppy wet<br />
droppings. In some cases the pigeons immune system may<br />
be strong enough or the bacterial strain may be weak enough<br />
to ensure that the bacteria does not gain entry into the body.<br />
In most cases the bacteria (Paratyphoid) will soon gain entry<br />
into the body and cause infections of the liver. (Hepatitis). The<br />
droppings will become a dark green color signifying sever liver<br />
damage. Once this happens the pigeon becomes severely<br />
depressed (fluffed-lethargic) and will stop eating. The affected<br />
pigeons will soon lose a lot of weight and may succumb from<br />
the hepatitis. In most cases; symptoms may be difficult to distinguish<br />
from PMV-1, a virus. Once the infection has established<br />
itself in the ovaries the hen will become a lifelong<br />
carrier and will pass the disease on to her babies via the<br />
egg. If the joints become infected pigeons will develop lameness<br />
in the leg or wing and it will establish itself in the joints.<br />
The bacteria will hide in the joint fluid or in the membrane of<br />
the joint. The fact that the normal antibiotics do not penetrate<br />
well into the joint or the brain makes it difficult to eradicate the<br />
bacteria.<br />
Treatment:<br />
It is important to realize that there is a marked difference in<br />
treating the non–systemic form of Paratyphoid compared to<br />
the systemic form (regular) When the bacteria has not yet entered<br />
the blood stream and is only in the intestine, a short<br />
course of the treatment with Furaltadone. Other antibiotics such<br />
as Amoxicillin may also be used. Once the bacteria has however<br />
entered the blood stream and a systemic status develops, a very<br />
specific treatment must be followed. At this stage it is unclear<br />
whether the treatment regime has the potential to clear the true<br />
carrier state that exist in some pigeons. It is especially the joint<br />
and the ovarian form that is extremely difficult if not impossible to<br />
clear. Entromune and Avio-gel combined with an antibiotic, but<br />
NOT Furazolidone or Furaltadone, may be tried. Many times combining<br />
two antibiotics will do the job. Before combining any antibiotics,<br />
you should consult an expert to be sure the combination of<br />
antibiotics and the correct dosage. Typhoid-Cure is an extremely<br />
effective combination of antibiotics. Another effective combination<br />
of antibiotics is YBD-Cure.<br />
Prevention Program:<br />
Start 10 weeks before the flying, showing or breeding season.<br />
1. Treat all the pigeons for 10 days with Typhoid Cure in the<br />
drinking water. Combine the Typhoid- cure with Avio-gel and<br />
Entromune over the food for the full ten days.<br />
2. Vaccinate all the pigeons using KM-1 on the last day of the<br />
treatment.<br />
3. Continue your normal pre-flying or pre-breeding program.<br />
4. Vaccinate all the pigeons again 3-4 weeks after the first vaccinations,<br />
once again with KM-1 vaccine. The second vaccination,<br />
called the booster is most important.<br />
5. You may use any treatment, including antibiotics when using<br />
KM-1 vaccine.<br />

Never a work day goes by at Foy’s without a question in<br />
regards to pigeons, chickens or cage bird health. I am not a<br />
Vet, nor is anyone on our staff. If you have a serious health<br />
issue with your birds, please call a Vet. I have had pigeons<br />
the better part of seventy years, and have read book after<br />
book about bird health. The staff at Foy’s has been trained<br />
by me and also thru repetition. A great majority of the calls<br />
are questions we have been asked many times and the staff<br />
most likely will be able to help you. In a male dominated<br />
hobby, many callers ask for me. I think it is because the<br />
caller feels as though a lady could not possibly know<br />
much about pigeons, but believe me they do. Please<br />
explain to one of our staff, what the issues are, if they do<br />
not know or are not sure, they will call me at home. If you<br />
need to call me, please do, but try the store first. I am now<br />
retired from the day to day operation at Foy’s, but like most<br />
small business owners, I am still involved. I still keep 200-300<br />
birds. Having so many birds, I am always trying to find ways<br />
to save time but still accomplish what I want do. Keeping the<br />
birds bug free is important, and there is nothing easier and<br />
better than Permectrin II. Follow directions, use warm water,<br />
spread the wings and tail and rub the top of the head and the<br />
neck under the beak.<br />
TIPS:<br />
If you add apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to the drinking<br />
water, do not use metal containers as it will eventually eat<br />
away the metal and cause them to rust.<br />
When pigeons reach the age of three weeks or so, they have<br />
an increased demand for a high protein feed. Corn is not<br />
a high protein grain. High protein grains include safflower,<br />
hemp and many pigeon pellets. Anything over 13% would<br />
be considered high protein. Do Not Use Permectrin in hot<br />
weather.
The Gagne family purchased the Foy’s Pigeon Supply Company,<br />
in the year 2000, from Clair and Janice Hetland. The<br />
Hetland’s were from Golden Valley, Minnesota, and operated<br />
the company from there for over 28 years. The Hetalnd’s had<br />
purchased Foy’s from Charles Foy from Clinton Iowa, who was<br />
the son of Frank Foy, who started the business. I have always<br />
thought that Foy’s was founded in 1887, but reading thru an<br />
American Pigeon Journal, from 1922, I came across an article<br />
written by Frank Foy. In this article I read that Foy’s Pigeon Farm<br />
was founded in 1883, in Des Moines, Iowa. So in the year <strong>2020</strong>,<br />
Foy’s is now 137 years old and still going strong.<br />
The Gagne family has taken the company back to its roots, by<br />
adding poultry supplies to the products offered. Frank Foy started<br />
the company by selling Pekin duck eggs and eventually adding<br />
live ducks and chickens. Charles Foy took over the business<br />
in the late 1930’s or early 1940,s, and the company became a<br />
pigeon only company, with most of the emphasis on pigeons as<br />
a meat animal, featuring Kings and Carneau pigeons. Charlie<br />
Foy led the business to greatness, building a large and loyal<br />
following. I actually met Charlie Foy at my home in Maine, never<br />
imagining that the Gagne family would sometime own Foy’s.<br />
How that all happened is another story. (By the way, when<br />
Charlie Foy visited my home in Maine, he asked if I was interested<br />
in buying the <strong>Foy's</strong> business. This was in the mid 60's.)<br />
FOY'S STORY<br />
Clair and Janice Hetland grew the Foy’s company to be many<br />
times larger than the company had ever been. Innovative ideas<br />
and Clair’s background as a pharmacist, allowed the company<br />
to expand the medication line and Clair formulated the biggest<br />
selling vitamin powder in America. He also created a concentrated<br />
grit supplement. The Pigeon Builder vitamin that Clair<br />
formulated, sells well over a ton every year, and the Grit Concentrate<br />
is still an excellent seller.<br />
The Gagne Family, in its own right has introduced many innovations.<br />
A website, full color catalog, toll free phone, same<br />
day shipping, Facebook, Twitter, advertising space for pigeon<br />
breeders, cage bird products, droppings analysis and sale of<br />
pigeons and much, much more. We now import containers<br />
from Belgium, Taiwan, Poland and Spain. We order from Belgium,<br />
Taiwan, Poland, Spain, South Africa, Norway, Germany,<br />
Australia and England. We have our own associated wood and<br />
metal shops, and are able to custom build anything in wood or<br />
metal. We also offer website design, advertising literature and<br />
personalized business cards.<br />
Note: I asked Clair Hetland, the gentleman, who along with his<br />
wife Jan, purchased Foy’s Pigeon <strong>Supplies</strong> from Charles Foy,<br />
for his comments on the history of <strong>Foy's</strong>. The following are Clair<br />
Hetland’s comments.<br />
I began selling pigeon medications from the pharmacy I managed<br />
in 1961. I had a small line of products that I had used and<br />
knew they were both safe and effective. I used the American<br />
Pigeon Journal to reach the customers. The pharmacy gave<br />
me half the profit from the sales. The pharmacy owner was not<br />
happy because I spent time selling pigeon products. So I said<br />
fine. I took the business home. I still worked at the pharmacy<br />
but I operated the pigeon business at night.<br />
Many of the products I sold were “manufactured” or repackaged<br />
<strong>Foy's</strong> was founded in 1883.<br />
Other important events of 1883:<br />
• Brooklyn Bridge open after 13 years of construction.<br />
• An F5 tornado in Rochester, MN leading to the creation<br />
of the world famous Mayo Clinic.<br />
• Adventure of Pinocchio was first published in book form<br />

FOY'S STORY<br />
by Foy’s. Whenever I ordered more products from Charles Foy,<br />
I would ask him if he was ready to sell his business and would<br />
he give me a shot at it. One day the phone rang and it was<br />
Charles. Charlie Foy said if you want the business come on<br />
down and see if you like it, spend a week. See what it is like.<br />
I visited with Charlie and saw what a dynamo he was. He and<br />
his wife, Lucille, showed me the ropes. Charlie filled me in on<br />
what the business was all about. The business was started<br />
by Charlie’s father Frank Foy. Frank Foy worked in a factory<br />
that made incubators and other poultry products. Frank also<br />
raised poultry and water fowl. He had a small pamphlet that<br />
he would toss in each outgoing order. That was the beginning<br />
of Foy’s Pigeon <strong>Supplies</strong>.<br />
Charlie Foy, Frank’s son, was many things. Highly respected in<br />
his state and he was a small plane, open-cock pit pilot. Charlie<br />
disposed of so many chickens and their eggs that he was the<br />
only person to test for New Castle disease. It did not make<br />
him ill, but it showed up in his blood tests. The pigeons were<br />
a continuance of the poultry breeding. It was harder to raise<br />
chickens.<br />
could not operate it part time. I sold the business and moved<br />
on with my life.<br />
I became a home improvement contractor and in this line of<br />
work, I would climb on to roofs to inspect them. One day I<br />
was on a roof and happened to look down into a neighbors<br />
yard and I saw two pigeon lofts. The next day I spoke to the<br />
owner, Joe Piltz, and I came home with a box of pigeons. No<br />
loft, no cages or anything else, but I had pigeons! Being who<br />
I am, the pigeons led to Jerry’s Pigeon Supply. As the small<br />
business grew, I had an occasion to speak to Clair Hetland.<br />
Clair was a real gentleman and helped me find some pigeon<br />
products I was looking for. I started to buy products from Clair<br />
and over the course of time, I asked the same question that<br />
Clair Hetland asked Charles Foy. I told Clair that if he ever<br />
wanted to sell Foy’s Pigeon Supply, please give me a shot at<br />
it. It wasn’t easy, but I think it was meant to be and with Clair’s<br />
help, I ended up buying Foy’s. Two of my sons, Kim, and I flew<br />
to Minnesota. We spent 3 days and loaded two tractor trailers<br />
full and on a Friday left for Pennsylvania. The Minnesota phone<br />
number was forwarded to Pennsylvania and on Monday we<br />
were taking orders. The year was 2000.<br />

Selling Pigeons requires a person who could tell the sex of<br />
birds. Foy’s had such a man and could almost guarantee<br />
pairs. When this man died, Charlie gave up on the live bird<br />
sales. The end of railway express also convinced Charlie to<br />
stop selling live birds and that is when it became 100% pigeon<br />
supplies.<br />
Our business in Golden Valley, Minnesota grew by leaps and<br />
bounds. My family was very involved but both daughters had<br />
careers and Janice was ready to retire. Then I had a heart attack,<br />
so we were lucky to find Jerry Gagne to buy us out. It<br />
was luck for Jerry too. ~ Clair Hetland<br />
The following are Jerry Gagne’s Comments.<br />
I have had pigeons and sold pigeon supplies most of my life.<br />
When I was 21 years old, my brother Bob and I became partners<br />
in the pigeon business. We had a friend, Ray LeBlanc ,<br />
who owned a small pigeon supply business and we asked if it<br />
was for sale. Ray was a real gentleman and made it very easy<br />
for us to buy his business even though we had very limited<br />
money. We actually bought it by making payments to Ray. I<br />
just never imagined that LeBlanc’s Pigeon Farm was the beginning<br />
of this long road to Foy’s Pigeon Supply.<br />
My brother, who was a carpenter, handled the building of all<br />
wood products as well as whatever needed to be done. We<br />
changed the name to Gagne Bros. Pigeon Supply and operated<br />
in Maine for several years. (Charles Foy visited us on one<br />
occasion.) I lost my regular job in 1969 and made the decision<br />
to move to Pennsylvania where I had a job offer. I bought out<br />
my brother and moved everything to Clinton, Pa. (Quite amazing<br />
isn't it that I moved to Clinton, PA and operated a pigeon<br />
business which eventually bought <strong>Foy's</strong> a business that once<br />
was located in Clinton, Iowa.) I operated a business from Clinton,<br />
Pa. I ran the Gagne Bros. Pigeon Supply until 1974, but<br />
with a growing family, it was just not enough income and I<br />
The Gagne Family is just the third family owner over the past<br />
137 years. The company has survived depressions, wars, recessions<br />
and so much more. <strong>Pet</strong> fanciers are very loyal, and if<br />
you give service, they will stick with you.<br />
The president of Foy’s is Kim Hare, who becomes a second<br />
generation leadership of the company. Sherry is a 14 year<br />
employee and there is hardly a job that she has not handled.<br />
Veronica will be in here ninth year and creates all our advertisements,<br />
creates and monitors our web site, creates a market<br />
for other services we offer such as web site design, business<br />
cards , promotional items and all the catalog prep work. Our<br />
daughter Gina, a 20 year Navy veteran, is in charge of Inventory,<br />
and anything else that's needs her attention.<br />
Vickie, my wife, is in charge of all the seamless band sales,<br />
packs, ships, and answers the phone. Together we have built<br />
the business and enjoyed the inclusion of family members.<br />
I am now semi-retired from the company and have decided<br />
to try to give back to the pigeon community. I still create the<br />
catalog with Gina and handle our pigeons, but for the most<br />
part, at the age of 79, have stepped back from the day-to-day<br />
operations. I served as the President of the National Pigeon<br />
Association and spent much of my time trying to make the<br />
NPA bigger and more service oriented. If you are not a member<br />
of the National Pigeon Association, please contact me, I<br />
will be glad to answer any questions and hopefully send you a<br />
membership application. I currently serve as chairman of the<br />
National Pigeon Association - Legacy Fund Trust.<br />
In 2017, <strong>Foy's</strong> moved to a new location to better serve our<br />
customers. We are now located across the river from New<br />
Brighton, PA.<br />

RACE QUALITY RACING PIGEONS<br />
Over the last 6-7 years, Foy’s has sold 1000’s of quality<br />
pigeons. We know we are doing something right when we<br />
have repeat customers time and time again. We have our own<br />
lofts at my home. I no longer race my birds, but still enjoy the<br />
whole process of keeping pigeons. Yes, I even enjoy cleaning<br />
the loft. Birds we have sold have won at all distances, including<br />
a winner at 500 miles. We do not raise every racing homer<br />
we sell, but we do guarantee, that if you are looking for quality,<br />
we have it. When needed, we purchase birds from local<br />
lofts, but not just any loft. We acquire birds from three top lofts<br />
in the race combine, and these birds are made available to<br />
Foy’s, because the breeder would prefer they be shipped out<br />
of their area. They do not want to offer them locally because<br />
they do not want to compete against their own birds. If you<br />
want quality racing pigeons or rollers, we have them. We<br />
offer no particular strain or color, and the color of the racing<br />
pigeons is not important, we just want good racers.<br />
YOUNG RACING PIGEONS<br />
Raised by <strong>Foy's</strong> and two local breeders, the young birds are<br />
all from our breeding teams, and have never been out of the<br />
loft. When we ship, they are old enough to eat and drink and<br />
are seamless banded. We can not sell young birds by pairs, as<br />
they are not old enough to know the sex of the birds, when we<br />
ship them. All orders are shipped in the sequence that we receive<br />
the orders, so order early and be sure to get them before we sell<br />
out. You should keep the young birds in the loft, with access to an<br />
aviary, for two weeks, before releasing them.<br />
BREEDING PAIRS OF RACING PIGEONS<br />
We sell mature breeding racing pigeons year round and can ship<br />
year round. We do separate our hens and cocks when we are not<br />
breeding, so we can not guarantee mated pairs, but we do guarantee<br />
a hen and a cock. You can never allow these birds to fly free,<br />
as they will eventually try to return to where they were born or first<br />
released. We feed a mixed grain, commercial pigeon feed and you<br />
should try to do the same. If you do want a particular color, we will<br />
do our very best to honor your request, but it is not always possible.<br />
TIP:<br />
Breeding normally lay one egg in the evening, and a second<br />
one two days later. When the second egg is laid, the incubation<br />
period of 18 days begins.<br />
All pigeons are shipped through the post office by Express<br />
Mail directly to your home or address you supply.<br />

RARE COLOR RACING HOMERS<br />
The racing pigeon remains the single most popular breed of pigeons, and within the breed, many racing pigeons are enjoyed,<br />
not for their ability to compete in club races, but for the beautiful colors. If you wish to fly colored homers, train them<br />
like any other racing pigeon. They are quite capable of flying 100 or more miles.<br />

Rollers are the second most popular breed of pigeons, after Racing Homers. Our Rollers are top quality birds and will roll as promised.<br />
Rollers are acrobats of the pigeon hobby and it is a real blast to watch a kit of Rollers take off and get to gather as a group, At<br />
some signal, known only by the birds, they start tumbling to the ground, doing somersaults almost all the way to the down. At the<br />
end of their roll, they gather up again and fly back up to the height needed to roll down again. Rollers come in all different colors,<br />
but we do not necessarily have them for color, we have them for their ability to roll. We will try to send the colors you like, but can’t<br />
promise to send birds as lose to the colors you are looking for. Rollers are a small breed about half the size of Racing Homers, and<br />
a bit smaller than the wild birds you see on the streets or roof tops. Rollers are very active, bright eyed and just love to fly. They are<br />
easy to breed and great parents. Keep in mind that Rollers have little to no homing instinct, so you can purchase breeders and they<br />
will stay return to your loft. I would suggest you keep them in the loft for 3-4 weeks before releasing the new birds, and you need<br />
an outside landing area and a removable aviary. The aviary offers the birds the opportunity to enjoy being outside and also allows<br />
them to observe their surroundings before being released to fly. Prices do not include shipping cost nor the special boxes<br />
that must be used to ship the birds. Birds are sent by express mail, thru the post office.<br />

DROPPING ANALYSIS<br />
We are quite pleased to offer a great new service to aid you in<br />
knowing more about the health of your flock of pigeons, poultry<br />
or cage birds. We have enlisted the help of an experienced<br />
veterinarian who will look at droppings that you have sent, and<br />
give you an idea as to what is wrong and what to do. Droppings<br />
analysis will not find viruses, paratyphoid or other bacterial infections.<br />
It will find coccidiosis, worms, parasites, yeast infections<br />
and other problems.<br />
Here is what you have to do:<br />
Collect about a tablespoon of fresh droppings. This tablespoon<br />
can be a mix of your flock, or if you have problems in just one<br />
section of your loft, collect the Tablespoon from just that one<br />
or two sections. It should be a general sampling of a number<br />
of the birds. If you are concerned with just one bird, isolate the<br />
bird and collect just the dropping from that one bird, you will not<br />
get a tablespoon, but get as much as you can for overnight and<br />
the morning before mailing them. The surface, under the bird<br />
should not be anything that will absorb the urine (plastic or metal<br />
is best). The droppings MUST BE AS FRESH AS POSSIBLE<br />
when you send them. Do not collect them from newspaper or<br />
an absorbent surface, because the urine would be blotted up,<br />
and we need all of the droppings. If you are sending more than<br />
one sample, place each sample in a plastic zip lock bag. Mark<br />
each bag you send to us, with a number or an identification of<br />
some kind. This is important because we want to be able to<br />
refer to each bag. Put all the ziploc plastic bags in a padded<br />
envelope and mail them to <strong>Foy's</strong>. Padded envelopes are sold<br />
at a store such as Staples or the post office. If the samples are<br />
not in a ziploc bag and padded envelope, the droppings will be<br />
destroyed. We will call you with the results and a suggestion of<br />
treatment.<br />
Include a check or money order, or you may call with your credit<br />
card number.<br />
Analysis one sample $40.00<br />
Additional samples sent together<br />
$20.00 (on same order)<br />

ask for Sherry.<br />
TIP:<br />
A big part of the pigeon hobby is the friends you make and<br />
the best way to meet other pigeon fanciers is to go to a<br />
show or two. Another way is to join a club such as the National<br />
Pigeon Association. Pigeon keeping is also a way to<br />
spend time with the family, but make the experience fun. I<br />
know of a number of situation where a fancier is too strict<br />
and the child will not consider it fun. Let them chose a bird<br />
or two and let the child name the birds. Don’t consider the<br />
child as an extra hand to clean coops, unless of course they<br />
consider it fun and not a chore.<br />

TIPS:<br />
If you are mailing eggs or moving them from one nest to<br />
foster parents, do not place the eggs in a sealed container<br />
such as a plastic bag. A fertile egg dies within 4-5 hours<br />
from the lack of oxygen. If you are sending pigeon eggs<br />
on a plane, keep in mind that if the eggs are in the hold<br />
they could freeze or even explode because of change in<br />
pressure.<br />
Wood Floor Grate<br />
A really heavy duty wood<br />
floor grate of solid oak, which<br />
measures 47 ½” X 39 ½”. These units<br />
may be used as a floor for a new loft,<br />
or as a built up floor for your existing<br />
floor. Because of the super strength of the grate, it needs no<br />
center support, only support around the edges. Other possible<br />
uses are at the entrance to your loft to clean your feet<br />
or as a deck around the loft. Because of the size, we can not<br />
ship the grate by UPS, unless we cut it in half, lengthwise.<br />
We will cut it at no additional charge. If you order 10 or more,<br />
it need not be cut because we will ship it via truck freight.<br />

Show Cage Grill<br />
These lightweight grills are designed<br />
for placing in a show<br />
cage. Many clubs have discontinued<br />
the use of shavings in a<br />
show hall. Without something<br />
for the bird to stand on, they will<br />
be standing in their own droppings.<br />
The grill may also be used in a nest box, under the<br />
nest bowl. I personally use them under my water containers.<br />
Moisture that collects under the water container will be<br />
a breeding ground for disease. You may also use them on<br />
the bottom of your carrying basket which keeps the bird’s<br />
feet clean without the use of shavings, which may irritate the<br />
bird’s eyes. Easily cut to fit any basket. 9 ¾” X 9 ¾”.<br />

Anit-Roost Spikes<br />
Anti-Roost Spikes are specifically<br />
manufactured to prevent birds<br />

outside window ledge, inside the loft in places you do not<br />
want the birds to roost. The base of the Spikes are narrow<br />
enough (1”) so that it may be installed on wood feeders or<br />
any small narrow place. The base is a flexible. Each Anti-<br />
Roost Spike includes a base that is drilled for you to secure<br />
it with your nails or screws. The spikes are 4 ¼” long<br />

False Eggs<br />
False eggs are used for<br />
a number of purposes.<br />
Pigeon fanciers use them when they want to stop raising<br />
youngsters. They remove the real eggs and replace them<br />
with the false pigeon eggs. Pigeons do not know the difference<br />
and will sit on these false eggs until past the normal<br />
hatching date. Pigeon fanciers also will place under the pigeon<br />
when the hen stays in the nest bowl as though they<br />
have eggs but in fact they have not laid. It is thought that<br />
if you put false eggs under the pair, they will sit on them<br />
until the hatching time and this may start the regular cycle<br />
of laying eggs. Chicken fanciers may not want to raise any<br />
more peeps and when a hen goes broody and will not leave<br />
the nest, the eggs are removed and replace with false eggs.<br />
Cage bird fanciers use them for the same reasons. Some<br />
fanciers like the wood and others prefer the plastic, where<br />
possible, we offer both. The cage bird eggs are all available<br />
in plastic only.<br />

Ideal Bath Salts by Versele-Laga<br />
Parasites, mites and so on are a real<br />
problem with any pigeon loft. They<br />
damage feathers and put your pigeons<br />
under stress. Pigeons that cannot relax in their<br />
loft are never going to be in the best of condition,<br />
and for this reason it is very important to treat pigeons and<br />
their accommodations such as the loft, baskets and aviaries.<br />
The Ideal Orange Bath Salts in the bathwater gives the<br />
pigeons soft feathers and helps maintain the strength<br />
and water-resistant function of the feathers. One tablespoon<br />
to 2 ½ gallons of bath water and remove after they<br />
are done bathing. In the winter, one bath a week, flying season<br />
one or two times a week. Give cold bath water in the<br />
morning and warm bath water after a race or competing.<br />

bath salts, you also will help rid the pigeons of parasites and<br />

a drain plug. When you fill a bath pan, it<br />
is easy, but when you want to throw the bath water out, it is<br />
rather heavy. With this pan, pull the plug and it drains out. Pigeons<br />
just love baths and willingly jump right in, no matter the<br />
weather, even on a sunny day in the winter. Add pigeon bath<br />
salts and your birds are cleaning their feathers and helping to<br />
eliminate parasites as well. This Large Bath Tub is 8” deep, so<br />
you add water to about 3” deep and let them enjoy.<br />

"Building Pigeon Lofts Legally"<br />
The purpose of this book is to help you<br />
avoid many of the problems that can occur<br />
when you attempt ANY residential or hobby<br />
building project. I hope you follow my<br />
advice. I have had various consultations<br />
with government department officials over<br />
the years, and want my knowledge to be<br />
useful to others. Whether you want to build<br />
or remodel a pigeon loft, an outbuilding or<br />
a new house addition, this book will help<br />
guide you. Some people are going to be interested in stopping<br />
your project, because they may not have learned what an interesting<br />
hobby you have. That makes it necessary to proceed with<br />
your project legally, and carefully. In portions of this book I give<br />
you information about my worldly travels, and insight about lofts<br />
and flying in Japan. I lived and traveled there 18 months. I joined<br />
the Aomori City Racing Pigeon (desho bato) Club, and raced pigeons<br />
of two young bird seasons. My life would have been much<br />
less interesting without my Japanese tomadachi "friends". I want<br />
to thank them for the friendship they shared with me, and show<br />
you how devoted to the sport they are.<br />

Many fanciers have the ability to build their own traps with<br />
the Bob parts we offer. Please keep in mind that you need a<br />
spacer for each trap you build. Bob’s are 3/16”, spacers are<br />
made from 3/6” rod, and the cross rods are 1/4'”, all parts<br />
are non-rust aluminum. The lift rods are used to lift the bobs<br />
all at the same time, and hold them in the up position, using<br />
a turn button. Custom sizes are available, call for a quote.<br />

<strong>Foy's</strong> Bob Trap<br />
We build these bestselling<br />
traps in our own wood shop,<br />
using the Foy’s Individual Aluminum<br />
Bobs. Heavy duty. Built in four sizes,<br />
but if none of the four meet your<br />
needs, we will be glad to give you a #2134<br />
quote for a custom size. All of our<br />
Foy’s Bob Traps are made with a<br />
pine wood frame that is cut smooth<br />
and sanded for a very smooth finish.<br />
It would be a good idea to paint or<br />
varnish the wood for years and years #2130<br />
of use. If you plan on building your own trap, you will need<br />
one spacer for each trap. The spacer keeps the first bob<br />
from hitting the wood frame. Included with the trap is a turn<br />
button that holds the bobs in the up position to allow the<br />
birds access to the outside, or the aviary. 3/16” heavy duty,<br />
light weight, aluminum bobs. The cross rods that the bobs<br />
slip onto are ¼” aluminum. Custom sizes are available, call<br />

Foy’s 4-1 Trap<br />
and Landing<br />
Platform<br />
This unit is meant for the fanciers<br />
with a small loft or a small<br />
flock. The units are called 4-1<br />
because the serve as a trap to<br />
keep the birds in when you do<br />
not want them outside, they<br />
act as a one way door that<br />
allows your birds to enter on<br />
return from a flight, but once in, they cannot go back out.<br />
Should you make your own aviary or decide to purchase a<br />
quality, pre made aviary from Foy’s, the third use of the 4-1<br />
Trap is by placing an aviary on top of the landing board, you<br />
can open the trap and this allows the birds to be outside<br />
in the aviary, but not able to exit and fly outside. The 4-1<br />
includes a turn button to allow the trap bobs to stay in the<br />
up position and the birds go in and out as they please. The<br />
unit creates a varmint proof entry by locking the platform in<br />
the up position. The wood frame is made of pine and we<br />
suggest you consider painting the wood as it is exposed<br />
to the elements and painting will allow the unit to last even<br />
longer. I must say that I have not painted mine and it has<br />
been installed for over 15 years. The bobs are feather light<br />
aluminum that will never rust. The Standard 4-1 Trap and the<br />
Large 4-1 Trap and Landing Platform projects out 12”. The<br />
Standard is 18” from left to right and the Large is 24” left to<br />
right. MADE IN FOY'S OWN WOOD SHOP. Custom sizes<br />
available.<br />

<strong>Foy's</strong> Landing Platform Only<br />
Over the years we<br />
have had request for<br />
a Landing Platform Only, so we<br />
have now made it available. These<br />
Landing Platforms are meant for<br />
the fancier who has only a few<br />
birds that are flown and no need for a large landing area. You<br />
may also want to cut another opening in a loft and need a<br />
landing platform for a few birds. We offer this platform in three<br />
sizes. The standard Landing Platform is 12” left to right, and<br />
the larger one is 18” from left to right and the extra-large Platform<br />
18” X 48”. The wire used in all of the Landing Platforms<br />
is 1” X ½” which is small enough to allow pigeons to walk<br />
on with no problem. In the Extra-Large Platform, you may<br />
want to place the bath on it and the splashed water will end<br />
up on the ground. White pine framing for all three sizes and<br />
we suggest you paint the wood for years of service. Custom<br />
sizes available. MADE IN FOY'S OWN WOOD SHOP.<br />

TIP:<br />
The harmful nature of moldy nesting material is usually<br />
underrated, however dusty, damp straw of stems<br />
are equally life-threatening to babies and even following<br />
generations. Moldy straw is forbidden to use in any form<br />
and should be destroyed.<br />
<strong>Foy's</strong> Aluminum Trap<br />
Finally a trap that will last a lifetime with<br />
no worry about rotting out over time.<br />
The FOY'S ALUMINUM TRAP is made in Ohio<br />
by our own John Raber. John has been working<br />
for <strong>Foy's</strong> for quite a few years now, and we<br />
constantly receive compliments about his quality wood products,<br />
and in the last couple of years he has been able to create new<br />
products such as our Aluminum Bobs. The FOY'S ALUMINUM<br />
TRAP, is made similar to our <strong>Foy's</strong> Bob Trap. In order to release<br />
the birds to fly outside, lock the bobs in the up position, and they<br />
are free to come and go as they please. Drop the bobs down and<br />
they no longer can go outside after they return and drop into the<br />
loft. The heavy Duty bobs are 3/16" thick but very lightweight.<br />
The bobs will not bend if a bird or critter tries to enter when they<br />
are locked in position. All aluminum construction with plastic<br />
corners, will not rust or corrode. Custom sizes are available,<br />
please contact <strong>Foy's</strong> for a quote.<br />

Aviary<br />
Because this is<br />
meant to be outside,<br />
we suggest you prime and paint<br />
the wood to make it last years and<br />
years. There may be a higher shipping<br />
charge for the extra large Aviary. When you want your birds<br />
to have free access to fly outside, just remove the whole aviary.<br />
The small is 18" long x 12 ½” x 12 ½” high. The medium is 24"<br />
long x 12 ½” x 12 ½” high. The large is 36" x 12 ½” The extralarge<br />
Aviary is 48" long x 18" x 18" high. Because of its size,<br />

ORDERS: 1-877-355-7727 • FOYSPETSUPPLIES.COM<br />
I SHIP HUNDREDS OF PIGEONS EVERY YEAR, and these are the<br />
boxes I use, They are strong, well ventilated and easy to carry. I do<br />
tape the bottom edges before I put the birds in the box. We are so<br />
lucky to be able to ship birds thru the post office. I do not want to upset<br />
them by having shavings dust escaping thru the bottom cracks. I<br />
also do not complain if they are supposed to be there in one day and<br />
they take two days. I once had a shipment get lost and it took six days<br />
to get to my customer, would you believe every bird arrived alive! No<br />
feed or water for 6 days, arriving in two is absolutely not a problem.<br />
SHIPPING BIRDS (THE DO'S AND DON'TS)<br />
DO<br />
• Feed and water birds prior to shipping.<br />
• Place litter or bedding in the bottom of the box to collect<br />
moisture, reduce odors, and provide a foothold. I use straw.<br />
• Call the recipient and give them the tracking number and<br />
expected arrival date.<br />
• Write the shipping address on the box in case shipping label<br />
comes off.<br />
• Add #295 Save-A-Chick to the drinking water 2-3 days before<br />
shipping.<br />
• Tape the bottom cracks to prevent dust from escaping.<br />
DON'T<br />
• Do not remove the white breathable membrane from over the vent<br />
holes. The membrane protects your birds from airborne disease,<br />
reduces excitability, stress, and is required by postal regulations.<br />
• Do not ship birds in very hot or very cold weather conditions. It is<br />
hotter in the box and extreme heat can be fatal to your birds.<br />
IF IN DOUBT - DON'T SHIP.<br />
• Do not over pack the box. To many birds in a box can cause<br />
over-heating and stress which can be harmful or fatal.<br />
• Do not ship birds over the weekend or holiday. They may<br />
become stranded.<br />
• DON'T MEDICATE WHEN SHIPPING BIRDS.<br />

Pigeon Carton<br />
These are the original cartons<br />
designed and made for the<br />
military of World War II, which<br />
makes them (over 78 years<br />
old.). They were carried into<br />
battle, and also strapped to a<br />
paratrooper who parachuted into enemy territory and used the<br />
pigeons to send messages back to headquarters. They are in<br />
good condition , but a bit musty from 78 years of storage. 12” X<br />
6 ¼” X 6 ¼”. Already a sot after part of collectors and museums<br />
that have WWII memorabilia. While dwindling supply last.<br />

SLIMY DROPPINGS:<br />
The cause is Giardia or Hexamita species. The droppings<br />
become slimy and wet with occasional blood spots seen,<br />
Green discoloration is seen. Pigeons strain to pass droppings<br />
but produce very little at a time. The vent or anal<br />
feathers become green and soil the vent. Treatment would<br />
be Ronidazole or Dimetridazole.<br />

All American Nest Box With Front<br />
I use these in my loft and find<br />
them easy to clean, attractive<br />
and functional. Use during the breeding<br />
season to mate your birds by locking them<br />
in, after they have mated, open the door and<br />
they will protect their new nest box. Comes complete with our<br />
nest fronts. Three nylon buttons included to close the door and<br />
hold the front in. Exterior measurements 16" deep x 25-½” wide<br />
x 12-¾” high, interior measurements are 12" x 24". Includes<br />

All American Nest Box,<br />
Without Front<br />
The nest box will accept a nest front<br />
on 24" X 12". Some folks have their own nest fronts<br />
or have a particular need for an empty box. I have used just the<br />
box without a front in one of my lofts and am quite satisfied with<br />
the results. I place a clay or heavy nest bowl in one corner of the<br />
box and have absolutely no problems. It is very easy to clean the<br />
box as there is nothing to catch the scraper on. I remove the<br />
nest bowl and in a matter of seconds, the box is clean and I put<br />
the bowl back in. The box outside measurements are 16" from<br />
to back, 25 ½” left to right and 12 ¾” high. I stack them 4 high,<br />
and when the breeding season is over, it is very easy to remove<br />
the boxes, as there is no need to attach them to a wall or to<br />
each other. Removing the boxes after breeding season gives<br />
me more room in the loft and I can add perches for the cocks or<br />
hens after I separate them. Custom sizes available.<br />

Simplicity Nest Box<br />
This nest box has always<br />
been very popular,<br />
but I was never quite satisfied with the<br />
design. It worked fine, but the center<br />
divider had a tendency to move. I discussed<br />
this problem with John Raber, our shop manager.<br />
John has come up with a new design. I am quite pleased<br />
with it after testing it in my loft. The divider is very easy to remove<br />
when you want to clean the nest box. The new design<br />
now locks the divider in place, and will not move. The idea of<br />
the divider is to allow the pair to have young on one side and<br />
then the second set of eggs is laid on the other side. The size<br />
of the box is such that you may also use a nest front such as<br />
our #115 or #120. 25 ½” x 16" x 12 ¾” high. Custom sizes<br />
available.<br />

American Nest Box<br />
Many fanciers build their own<br />
nest boxes, but may not have the<br />
tools to build a tray like the one we<br />
supply with our Simplicity Nest Box. The tray is made to slide<br />
into the bottom of a nest box, the same size as our #1016<br />
Simplicity Nest Box. The tray slides right into the bottom of<br />
a box that is 24" from left to right and 16" deep. It has a 4'<br />
board in the front, from left to right and a divider as part of the<br />
tray, to create a double nesting box. Make your own box and<br />
save lots of money, especially on shipping you would pay on<br />
the entire box. Custom sizes available.<br />

Large Nest Box Without Front<br />
These boxes are supplied with<br />
out a front, but are made to fit<br />
our Large Nest Fronts and they also fit<br />
our #3574 Plastic Nest Fronts. For larger<br />
breeds, it really works well if you use no<br />
nest front at all. I have used them in my lofts, without a front,<br />
and it makes it so much easier to check the nest bowls and<br />
young with out taking any front off. It is easy to scrape out<br />
the droppings from the young on a regular basis. Measures:<br />
29 ½” long by 14 ¾” by 16 ¾” high (outside measurements).<br />

Large Simplicity<br />
Nest Box<br />
This Nest Box has<br />
the same measurements as the<br />
Large Nest Box, 29 ½” x 14 ¾”<br />
x 16 ¾” high. It includes the Divider<br />
to create a Simplicity Nest<br />
Box, but with the large Nest Box. It does not include a front,<br />
but it is sized to fit Large Nest Front as seen on the previous<br />
page, #147-#150. These Dividers are great, when babies<br />
get to be 2-3 weeks old, you may want to move the babies<br />
to the other side of the Nest Box, and the clean out where<br />
the young were, in preparation of the parents laying again.<br />
The divider slides out of the box for cleaning. We offer just<br />
the Divider for those who may wish to build their own Nest<br />
Box, and purchase just the Divider. Should you want to add<br />
a nest front, perhaps you want to close up the nest after<br />
breeding season, our Large Nest Fronts fit the large nest box.<br />

Divider and Drawer for<br />
Large Nest Box<br />
Many fanciers build their own<br />
Nest Boxes but may not have the<br />
tools or skill to create the Simplicity<br />
Divider for the Large Nest Box. The<br />
Divider slides right into our Large Nest Box. The Simplicity Divider<br />
creates a separate nesting area for one pair. Young can be on<br />
one side, and when the parents are ready to lay again, move the<br />
babies to the other side, keeping the eggs from getting soiled or<br />
accidently broken. Should you wish to use a nest front with the<br />
divider, it is built to also accept the front. By making your own<br />
box, you save money by building it yourself and also the shipping<br />
charges to ship a large box. CUSTOM SIZES AVAILABLE.<br />

Breeder - Sick Bay - Quarantine Unit<br />
A complete unit that may be set on the floor<br />
of the loft , hung on the wall or stacked one<br />
on top of the other to create an eight nest<br />
unit. The unit may be used for mating individual<br />
pairs, and is the pairs permanent<br />
home. For the Racing Pigeon flyers, it may<br />
be used as a widowhood nest box. You<br />
get two plastic nest fronts that swing in as<br />
needed, and we supply a door that slides<br />
up and down, you may install the door on<br />
whichever side you want. We ship the unit disassembled, but<br />
it is easy and quick to put together. We install all the black nest<br />
front holders, so you do not have to worry about where they go.<br />
All the screws are supplied and we pre-drill the hole so that you<br />
know where to place the screws. The first time I used one, I put<br />
it together in less than 15 minutes. Completely sanded and you<br />
may want to consider painting it before or after assembly. The<br />
total unit is 30 ½” from left to right, 15 ½” front to back and 30 ½”<br />
high. Each nest box unit is 14" left to right, 14" front to back and<br />
14 ¼” high. We supply the plastic fronts. If you decide to hang<br />
the unit on the wall, we suggest you put a screw in each interior<br />
corner. We do not supply the hanging screws.<br />

Double Hanging Breeder Cage<br />
This is ideal for the fancier that lacks<br />
floor space, or has a tough time<br />
bending over to observe or feed and water<br />
birds in a breeder unit. The Double Breeder Cage is big enough<br />
to put one pair on each side, but you can remove the center divider<br />
and allow the birds to see each other and get used to each<br />
other before putting them together to mate. There are occasions<br />
when you put two strange birds together and the cock will beat<br />
up the hen because they are not a pair. By allowing the two birds<br />
to get acquainted before getting together, you will just about remove<br />
that possibility. You receive two double cage cups that will<br />
hold feed. A wire floor and a slide out tray, below the wire floor,<br />
to remove droppings. Each side has a spring loaded door to get<br />
access to the birds. 46 ½” x 17 ½” Front to Back and 15 ¾” High.<br />
#3423 Breeder/Sick Bay Unit $130.00<br />
TIPS:<br />
The best temperature in the nest box is 68 to 77 degrees. You<br />
may want to buy a thermometer and hygrometer and place<br />
them in nest boxes, one at a time.<br />

Plastic Nest Front<br />
I love these and used them in some of<br />
my lofts. Made in Belgium, they come<br />
with 5 adapters that you screw to your<br />
nest box. You can lock a pair in, use it to<br />
mate your birds or can also be used by<br />
racing pigeon people flying the Widowhood<br />
System. Fits a nest box no larger<br />
inside of 30.7 Inch, and no higher than 13.4”. Fits our #143 Nest<br />
Box. Instructions & diagram included. Available in white, blue,<br />
green and yellow. If no color is picked, we will ship our choice.<br />

Ultimate Nest Box -<br />
This Ultimate Nest Box<br />
has so many features. I<br />
hope I don't forget to list them<br />
all. It is all heavy duty, beige<br />
plastic which can be cleaned<br />
easily. The birds stand on a<br />
grated floor and the droppings<br />
fall through to a drawer which slides out for cleaning. Each<br />
unit has a drop down door for the birds to enter and locks<br />
the birds should you have the need. The Ultimate Nest Box<br />
may be used as two separate nest boxes using the unique<br />
triple track divider. You can have it open so one pair claims<br />
both sides, you can slide a partition that allows the birds to<br />
see each other (this is for racing homer fanciers who fly the<br />
windowhood system), or the partition allows you to set up<br />
the two sides so one pair can not see the other pair. Each<br />
box has vent grills on the sides and the rear. The front allows<br />
you to open each side for complete access. The Ultimate<br />
Nest Box includes a stack and lock system and using<br />
this system you can stack them one on top another and<br />
also lock them together on the sides. You can lock them all<br />
together and have a wall of nest boxes. Each Ultimate Nest<br />
Box includes a set of rollers that allow you to roll a single<br />
stack or the entire wall backward and forward for ease in<br />
cleaning around the units. Won't rust like metal. Won't<br />
rot like wood. Each individual Ultimate Nest Box is 16.14"<br />
Deep x 23" Long x 17.13" High (exterior measurements).<br />

drop-down door with lock. The unit comes 14 ½” high<br />
but may be cut down to height of about 11". It is 7" wide.<br />

Deluxe Easy Plastic<br />
Nest Front<br />
This high-grade, smoothly<br />

front is undoubtedly the most<br />
practical and simplest nest front<br />
available on the market. It pivots on two aluminum rods<br />
which click into the fittings and it can be easily removed to<br />
clean the nest boxes. These nest fronts can be cut to fit<br />
most all nest boxes. The gate (door) can be cut on the left or<br />
on the right side. Comes complete with aluminum rods, fittings,<br />
screws and easy installation instructions. A little more<br />
than some, but worth the price. Maximum size is 15" X 30"<br />
long, minimum size is 14 ¼” high X 24 ¾” long. Comes<br />
in four colors: white, green, blue and yellow. If no color is<br />

Spanish Large Cage Drinker<br />
There are cases where you may<br />
need a large drinker for a cage.<br />
Cases where you have to be away for a few days<br />
or more, your cage is large and has multiple<br />
birds and you need to offer a larger drinker, etc.<br />
The unique design of the Spanish Large Cage<br />
Drinker allows you to slip the base through the wires and<br />
lock it in place. It has a bottom screw off lid should you want<br />
to remove the drinker that still has water in it, this prevents<br />
spillage. The bottle also slips off the base for easy filling as<br />
well as being opaque which allows you to see the level of<br />
water. The base that holds the water is a corrosive resistant<br />
aluminum. Holds a bit over two quarts. Great for pigeons,<br />
poultry and cage birds.<br />

Nest Bowl Corner Shelf<br />
I have been a pigeon fancier<br />
for the better part of 70 years.<br />
One of the problems I have always had<br />
is the pigeons, for some reason, make<br />
nest and lay the eggs on the floor. Now<br />
there are plenty of nest boxes, so that<br />
is not a problem, but for whatever reason, they nest on the<br />
floor. They almost always make their nest in a corner, and<br />
if there are perches above, the nest is always a mess because<br />
of droppings from above. Now I usually do not have<br />
perches near the corners, so that, in most cases solves the<br />
problem of the droppings falling on the corner nests, but<br />
the corner nesting are still a problem, as the pair have problems<br />
defending the nesting area from aggressive cock birds.<br />
The newly designed Corner Nest Bowl Shelf goes a long<br />
way in protecting the eggs and young, much like a regular<br />
nest box, it is much easier to defend from other cock birds.<br />
The design allows you to face it in two directions, the open<br />
front and doweled side allows for a lot of air flow. Since it<br />
need not be screwed to a wall, it is much easier to clean the<br />
area, move it, clean the area and put it right back. The unit is<br />
large enough to use any size nest bowl, including the larger<br />
#3500 Lifetime Nest Bowl. The unit is 12” X 12” X 12” high.<br />
Sturdy all wood construction will last for many years. There<br />
is no need to paint it, but it will last longer if painted and the<br />
painted wood resists moisture and stains.<br />

NEST BOWLS<br />
Clay Nest Bowls<br />
The clay type nest bowls have been used for<br />
hundreds of years and are very popular all over<br />
the world. The weight of the clay bowls prevents<br />
them from moving around. This is the Bowl of choice<br />
for my own pigeons, after the breeding season I soak them<br />
in water with bleach in it for 24 hours and when I remove<br />
them they are quite clean and just need wiped and put away<br />
for next breeding season. Four vent holes in the bottom.<br />

Plastic Weave Nest Bowls<br />
Most nest bowls have<br />
vent holes in the bottom<br />
of the bowl in order<br />
to vent the bottom<br />
to help keep it dry. The<br />
Weave Bowl has more ventilation than any bowl we offer. A<br />
nest pad must be used with the Weave Bowl. The Weave<br />
Bowl is offered in two sizes. The Standard Weave Bowl is 9”<br />
wide and 3” high and meant for most all breeds, with the exception<br />
of very large breeds such as Runts, House Pigeons,<br />
etc. The small is meant for the many small breeds such as<br />
Rollers, Tipplers, etc. The Small Weave Bowl measures 7”<br />
wide and 2” high.<br />

Paper Pulp Nest Bowls<br />
These bowls are made from nothing but<br />
paper and water. We had the opportunity<br />
to make them white, but this meant using<br />
chemicals, and we did not want that,<br />
so the bowls are the natural color of gray. The base of these<br />
bowls is a bit over 10”, the top diameter is a bit over 7 ½” and<br />
they are 2 ½” high, just like the originals. The texture is a little<br />
rough, the reason for this to allow the babies to get a good grip<br />
when they try to stand up, which will reduce just about any possibility<br />
of splayed legs. Foy’s Paper/Pulp Sanitary Nest Bowls are<br />
meant to be disposable after the young are raised and out of the<br />
nest. Ideal for most small to medium breeds, but not the large<br />
breeds such as Modenas and Kings.<br />

Lifetime Heavy Nest Bowls<br />
The clay nest bowl has always been a great<br />
seller, because the fancier wanted a nest<br />
bowl that was heavy enough to prevent the<br />
pair or young from pushing it around. The big disadvantage of<br />
the clay bowl was that it broke very easily. The Heavy Nest Bowl<br />
solves both of the issues with a clay nest bowl, it is virtually<br />
impossible to break and is very heavy to prevent the bowl from<br />
moving. It is also very easy to clean It is available in the standard<br />
9" in diameter or the 10 ½” large breed size. Heavy duty plastic.<br />
Never buy another nest bowl!<br />

Lifetime Heated Nest Bowl<br />
Breeding season can be quite difficult<br />
in cold climates and it is not unusual<br />
to lose a few young, in the nest, because<br />
of the cold. Designed especially for <strong>Foy's</strong>, the Heated<br />
Nest Bowl may be the answer to breeding in cold climates. Yes,<br />
these bowls are expensive, but at what price would you put on<br />
the ability to raise young from a special pair or two, much earlier<br />
than normal. Designed around our Heavy Nest Bowl, the Heated<br />
Nest Bowl will not move around and keeps the young warm.<br />
The heat is regulated so that it does not get too warm. Available<br />
in two sizes. Maximum temperatures are 75-86 degrees.<br />

Nine inches across the top, 2 ½” deep and 6"<br />

babies to get a grip as they try to stand up. The<br />
Belgium plastic nest bowl is made of hard, practically unbreakable<br />
plastic and is less apt to move around because of its weight.<br />

Nest Bowls for Cage Birds<br />
We had been looking for these for a<br />
couple of years, and the only supplier we<br />
could find was, in our opinion, an inferior product<br />
that was overpriced. We found these nest<br />
bowls and nest pads that are high quality and reasonably priced.<br />
The bowls come in 3 sizes and clip on to wire or they could also<br />
be attached to a wall. Very sturdy construction and they will last<br />
a very long time. They are beige in color. The small one is 4" outside<br />
diameter X 1 ½” high, the medium is 4 ½” X 1 ¾” high and<br />
the large is 5 ¼” X 2 ¼” high. Please note that we also have the<br />
nest liners and liner clips to fit these cage bird nests bowls.<br />

Coconut Nest Pads are<br />

gaining in popularity. The offer more aeration then other pads<br />
and this helps keep the pad dry. The drier pads collects less immunity<br />
and will reduce the smell. After breeding season, wash<br />
and store for next season.<br />

Pigeon Nesting Eggs<br />
There are times when you want to start the laying process by<br />
offering false eggs as a suggestion or promotion of the idea of<br />
laying. There are also times you don't want your birds to raise any<br />
more young, so you simply replace their eggs with false eggs and<br />
they will set them. The plastic pigeon eggs are full of a powder to<br />
give them a more realistic weight.<br />

Tobacco Stems<br />
Build their nest or let them build their own with these<br />
insect killing stems. Box measures approximately<br />
15"x14"x8". The stems are imported and are the highest quality<br />
available. Long and comparatively thin. Many fanciers soak<br />
the stems they are going to use, in water for an hour or so. After<br />
soaking to soften the stems, form them into a circle that fits in to<br />
their next bowl. They should cover the bottom and part way up<br />
the side. Many pigeons are poor nest builders and you sometimes<br />
have to help.<br />

Felt Nest Pads for Pigeons<br />
Has always been the most popular<br />
nest pad <strong>Foy's</strong> offers. Soft felt that<br />
helps retain the body heat of the parents offer<br />
to the eggs and young. The felt creates an easy grip for the<br />
feed of the fast growing babies. The grip is very important<br />
as the babies grow very fast and as they try to stand, a grip<br />
is important, because if it is a slippery surface under them,<br />
their legs will slide out from under them and in a matter of 24<br />
hours. It is very difficult to try to push the legs back under<br />

P.M. Plastic Clip On V Perch<br />
All plastic construction means easy cleaning because stains<br />
do not sink in like a wood perch. The P.M. Perch is really<br />
two perches in one. Remove the two protection sides and<br />
you have a block perch similar to our #1040 with the sides<br />
slipped back on and you have a standard V perch. We have<br />
pictured it both ways. Screw the U clip to the wall and slip<br />
on the perch. There may be times where you have fewer<br />
birds and need fewer perches so it makes good sense to<br />
remove the unused perches. All you have to do is slip up the<br />
perch and leave the bracket. The perch projects out from<br />
the wall 4 ½” and is 11 ¼” from left to right.<br />

Show Cage Platform Perch<br />
A number of our products come from discussions with customers,<br />
making custom products for customers or in the<br />
case of this particular product, we saw it being used at a<br />
show and thought it an excellent idea and asked the fancier<br />
who created it, if we could add it to our product line. I am<br />
sorry to say I cannot remember his name, but he not only<br />
gave us permission to offer it, he gave us a sample to use.<br />
Almost all of the cages at a show are the same size and are<br />
usually a four compartment show cage, so this is what the<br />
unit is made for. Our workshop makes these and should you<br />
want one made in some other size, call Foy’s for the custom<br />
cost. This Show Cage Platform Perch is 15 ½” long X 1¾"<br />
front to back and ¾” thick. It has a slot that holds a wire<br />
hook that sits in the slot. The hooks come out when you<br />
want to hook the unit inside the show cage. The most important<br />
benefit to the Platform Perch is that during a show the<br />
bird can hop up on the perch and stay clean for the judging.<br />
Most shows no longer allow shavings so the cage floors do<br />
get nasty. Easy to install and no tools needed. We suggest<br />
painting the perch to keep it looking nice.<br />

I believe we offer the largest selection of perches and there is a reason for this. Choosing the correct perch is an individual decision as there are different<br />
situations for each loft. Some choices will depend on space available, breed of pigeon, special needs and what the perch is made of. I do not believe it is a<br />
must to protect the bird below as droppings do not stick to a healthy bird. The only time this may be a factor is when you have a pair that insists on having<br />
a nest in the corner on the floor. Scraping the perches regularly is no big deal, but for someone like me, who has a lot of pigeons, I am always looking for<br />
a perch that cuts down on scraping. I have used just about every design of perch and because I want to limit my perch scraping time, my two favorites<br />
are the Space Saver Perch and the Block Perch. For Racing Homers and Rollers, and they fill my needs. We suggest all perches be spaced 11"-12” from<br />
side to side and 11"-12” from above and below, with the exception of some very small of very large breeds. If you have a special size or design need,<br />
please contact us for a quote.<br />

remove the perch only, the clip remains in place. 5 ½” high<br />

<strong>Foy's</strong> Heavy Duty Wood Perch<br />
This perch, as with most of our<br />
wood products, is made in our<br />
wood shop. The idea for the perch came<br />
from John Raber, our master carpenter. No<br />
plywood in the construction, it is all yellow<br />
pine, and meant for years and years of service.<br />
You may want to consider painting them with a good gloss<br />
paint, which will make it even easier to keep clean. Absolutely no<br />
knots and sanded for a fine finish. The wood for the sides is 3/8”<br />
thick, 2 or 3 times thicker than most other V perches. The wood<br />
where the bird perches is 2” wide and 5 ½” front to back, lots of<br />
room for most all breeds. The back brace and mounting bracket<br />
is of the same thickness as the sides and includes two pre-drilled<br />
mounting holes. Made in Foy’s own wood shop. CUSTOM<br />

Deluxe Heart<br />
Basket<br />
Made in America and<br />
one of the up-most quality. John<br />
Raber, our finish carpenter, designed<br />
this himself and having never<br />
built one, he looked on it as a real<br />
challenge. The handles are large to<br />
give balance when carrying. The<br />
weave is a full ¾” high and allows<br />
for lots of ventilation. To reduce the<br />
possibility of malfunctioning hardware, we have eliminated any<br />
type of locking device. Place the two handles in the up position<br />
and use a zip tie to lock them. Curious kids or adults will be unable<br />
to "sneak a peak" and accidentally release the birds. The<br />
small Deluxe Heart Basket measures 13" x 10" x 8 ½” high. The<br />
large Deluxe Heart Basket measures 18" x 14 ½” x 10" high. We<br />
offer this beautiful addition to your business in a natural color, but<br />
you only need a can of spray paint to paint it the color of your<br />
choice.<br />

Remote Release<br />
Basket<br />
I have viewed videos<br />
and attended ceremonies<br />
where a remote release basket<br />
was used. It was my opinion<br />
that the remote release was a<br />
good idea, but the ones I observed<br />
left room both in appearance<br />
and in function. I spoke<br />
to a good friend who is a genius when it comes to creating a<br />
product from an idea. Carl is also the designer and creator of<br />
our "Event Release Basket" as well as our Ceremonial Release<br />
Basket, both on pages 91 & 92. Well you get the idea if you want<br />
something special, well made and very functional, I call Carl. The<br />
Remote Release Basket is battery operated and features a fully<br />
painted sturdy wood frame that will give you years of service.<br />
The unit has a top loading door. Push the button while you're<br />
positioned many feet away, and away the birds go. The 1" spring<br />
of the hard wood dowels allows the curious guests to observe<br />
the birds, but ensures their safety by not allowing their heads to<br />
push through. The floor includes a removable raised wired floor<br />
grate that keeps the birds clean. Another unique feature is the<br />
double locking system. When the lock is in the rear position, the<br />
top loading door and the front release door are securely locked<br />
and will not open even if it is tipped over. The receiver and trigger<br />
mechanism are in a module which has an on and off switch to<br />
conserve battery strength. We offer the Remote Release Basket<br />
in 18 x 16 x 10" high for 10 birds and 36 x 16 x 10" high for<br />
20 birds. Both baskets are available in white or black and are<br />
shipped complete and also include two remote key chain remote<br />
transmitters. Works up to 100 feet.<br />

Basket<br />
Another excellent<br />
product from our Amish<br />
wood shop. This is a<br />
heart shaped basket for<br />
weddings or ceremonies<br />
in white and funerals in black. The small which is 13" x 10"<br />
x 8 ½” high is meant for 1-2 birds and the large which is 18"<br />
x 14 ½” x 10" high is meant for 4-5 birds. Very light weight.<br />

Designed for the<br />
white dove release business but<br />
certainly a basket anyone would be<br />
proud to own. All white with oak<br />
trim. The sides are mesh for full ventilation. A drop down<br />
door for release and an unusual rear drop down door to<br />
feed and water the birds if they are going to be in the basket<br />
for an extended time. The double floor includes a removable<br />
raised wire floor to keep the birds clean. Available<br />
in two handy sizes. The 15 bird size is 24 ½” X 14 ½”<br />
X 10" H, the 20 bird size is 30 ½” X 16 ½” X 10" H. Choice<br />

Event Release Basket<br />
The white dove (white racing<br />
homers) release business continues to grow<br />
and it may be the opportunity for you to earn<br />
the extra income you are looking for. The<br />
Funeral Release Basket is designed to be<br />
used at a funeral and in many cases, the box<br />
is left with the funeral director who releases the birds at the<br />
cemetery. The funeral director is instructed how to use the<br />
unit, it takes 2-3 minutes to learn. This custom made box<br />
features a divided bottom section which holds three birds<br />
and are released first. The top section holds one bird which<br />
is released a few moments after the first three. The box is<br />
designed to keep the birds quiet, which is very important<br />
at a funeral. The birds are placed in the box from the rear,<br />
facing forward in preparation for release. The two knobs at<br />
the top are pulled one at a time to release the birds in proper<br />
sequence. Traditional black, gray wire mesh and hardwood<br />
trim. Approximate size is 17" x 17" x 13" high. The release<br />
of the first two birds signifies the trinity and when released,<br />
they naturally circle. The last single bird released represents<br />
the deceased, which on release, joins the first three and after<br />
circling, they will fly away. Another use would be using at<br />
weddings or wedding receptions. Release two birds representing<br />
the couple and then the third bird which represents<br />
love. Made in one of our contractors wood shop, top quality<br />
throughout.<br />

BOOKS<br />
"Lofts of North America"<br />
This book is the result of over 5 years of work, and I truly believe it is the<br />
most anticipated book in many years. As the owner of a major pigeon<br />
supply company, we receive inquiries on a regular basis, asking for information<br />
about building a loft. This book is meant to give you ideas, not<br />
only on what a loft looks like, but it is also full of interior pictures of a loft<br />
to give examples of nest boxes, perches, flooring, breeder cages, ventilation,<br />
windows, doors, trapping, aviaries, feeders, drinkers, and so much<br />
more. We included over 100 lofts from Hawaii, Alaska, Canada, North-<br />
South-West and Eastern United States. I did not want just Taj Mahal type<br />
lofts that cost a mint, (but there are some in the loft), I wanted the Average<br />
Joe loft, Racing Homer lofts, Fantail lofts, Runts, Rollers, Pouters,<br />
Dovecoats, Parlor Tumblers and so much more. We have included step<br />
by step pictures on building a loft and a page by page diagram with bill of<br />
materials to build a 4x8 loft. The book is 99% in color and much of the<br />
description text is written by the fancier who built the loft. We have amateur<br />
builders and professional builders. Even if you do not plan on building<br />
a loft, Lofts of North America will give you a ton of ideas about improving<br />
the loft you have. If you would like an autographed copy, please let<br />
us know. A Great Gift. I apologize for the high cost, but printing a book<br />
in color and what a printer considers a low number, it is very expensive to<br />
print. Written by Jerry Gagne. Author's signature available upon request.<br />

"White Pigeons:<br />
The Color of Money"<br />
This booklet may be one of your best investments ever. Over the last<br />
decade, the dove release business has exploded in a very positive way.<br />
People who just a short time ago had no idea that people kept pigeons,<br />
let alone made a good part time or full time income from the release of<br />
white doves at funerals, weddings, celebrations and recently the release<br />
at gender revelation parties. In America and Canada so many people are<br />
looking for ways to add extra income or in a lot of cases, a full time income.<br />
It really is a great opportunity, and in comparison to other businesses,<br />
this one is relatively inexpensive to start. Many people already<br />
have an empty shed, utility building, barn or old chicken coop, and a little<br />
work will turn it in to a very usable loft. This is the first and, to my knowledge,<br />
the only book written about this phenomena that is sweeping the<br />
country. The dove used in the white dove release business are actually<br />
white racing pigeons. The racing homer is born with an instinct to rerun<br />
home after being released, all it takes is a bit of training to hone that instinct.<br />
This multi million business is still considered new and there is lots<br />
of opportunities in every state.<br />
White Pigeons, The Color of Money is a must for anyone that is giving<br />
any thought to starting their own business. If you have pigeons now or in<br />
the past, you should purchase this book. If you have never had pigeons,<br />
you must consider ordering this book. The book will help you prevent<br />
costly errors and put you on the right path immediately. The author, who<br />
is a 70 year pigeon fancier and also is in the bird release business, so<br />
the book is based not on theory, but on facts and experience. Chapters<br />
include: Where Do I Start?, building or converting a building to a<br />
loft, Interior loft preparation, Feeders, drinkers, perches, and so much<br />
more. Correct feed, health management, breeding, training, advertising,<br />
equipment, etc. soft cove with 46 pages. Pictures, most in full color,<br />
and priced quite reasonable. Author's signature available upon request.<br />

Rich’s End<br />
Release Basket<br />
Rich Dworek, a<br />
nationally known pigeon flyer<br />
designed this basket to solve a<br />
problem he has always struggled<br />
with. Rich raises and trains quite<br />
a few birds and it was a real chore<br />
to catch every bird in the morning. This solved his problem!<br />
Rich trains the young birds from the very beginning to enter<br />
the baskets themselves by putting their daily feed ration in<br />
one of these baskets. The "Rich" basket has a sliding door<br />
on each end and once the birds know that their feed is in<br />
the basket, all he does is line the baskets up, end to end.<br />
When one basket is full of birds, he drops the doors on the<br />
full one, installs a door on the next basket and when it is full,<br />
drops the end door. Rich says he can line up as many as six<br />
at a time. These quality baskets have a flip top door should<br />
you want to load birds or remove one from the top. Great<br />
ventilation due to the doweled top and the mesh material on<br />
the sides. 31 ½” X 16 ¾” X 9 ¼”.<br />

Levi's Basket<br />
I attended the<br />
National Poultry<br />
Show in Columbus, Ohio and<br />
noticed a basket that many exhibitors<br />
were using. I brought<br />
one of them home and had<br />
John, our Amish craftsman, made one with what we feel are<br />
a few small improvements. This basket is ideal for poultry,<br />
but it is also ideal for some of the larger, tall breeds of pigeons.<br />
Available in 4, 5, or 6 bird baskets. Each compartment<br />
is 5" wide x 12 ¾” x 11 ½” high. Completely sanded<br />
to eliminate sharp edges and each compartment has 3/8"<br />
dowels in the front, 5 ½” high. Each compartment has a<br />
sliding door and all may be locked using the ¼” dowel. All<br />
3 sizes are 13" high and 14 ¾” front to back. The 4 bird is<br />
26" long, the 5 bird is 32" long and the 6 bird is 38" long.<br />
A beautiful, Amish made basket in natural wood. You may<br />

this is made in the FOY’S WOOD SHOP. Our good friend<br />
John Raber and his family are Amish and work together as<br />
a family to create the best of products. With features such<br />
as sanding the finished wood, knot free, heavy duty dowels<br />
and plastic covered wire floor, you will be proud to own this<br />
special basket and without a doubt, people will ask where<br />
you got it. The original design was from a customer’s request<br />
and created by John Raber. The Deluxe Basket is 32” long,<br />
14 ¾” front to back and the total height is 15 ¼”. Inside measurements<br />
are 12 7/8” front to back, 11 ¼” high and 6” wide.<br />
The five sliding doors are locked in place by a ¼ sanded<br />
wood dowel, this allows you to slide the doors open one at<br />
a time. The front of the Deluxe Basket includes two 3/8 inch<br />
dowels to allow maximum air ventilation. Inside, the birds are<br />
standing on a wire floor of ½” x 1” plastic coated wire. The<br />
bottom of the basket contains a sliding drawer to remove<br />
accumulated droppings. . No handle is needed, as the ends<br />
are recessed to allow you carry it with ease. Made in Foy’s<br />
Workshop. Custom sizes available at additional cost.<br />

TIP:<br />
I am asked frequently what books I might suggest for<br />
a beginner? I would suggest #9002 White Pigeons, for<br />
the very basic and/or #805 The Pigeon Guide, a very<br />
informative book that I go to a lot to answer questions I<br />
need to answer.<br />

Jaiden's Premium<br />
Basket<br />
Factory precise and a<br />
real quality basket. Quality features<br />
include a bumper on the<br />
bottom and at the corners. These<br />
bumpers will not scratch a surface<br />
and they keep the basket up<br />
from the floor. Corner protectors<br />
which add to the overall attractiveness<br />
of the basket, as well as<br />
added strength. The corner protectors are on the top corners<br />
as well as the bottom corners. Large vent holes on three sides<br />
that offer the pigeons lots of air circulation. The release door in<br />
the front is hinged and includes a vent hole that also serves as a<br />
finger hole which may be used to drop the door down , if needed.<br />
The heavy duty carrying handle folds down. Top dowels are<br />
3/8”, larger than most other wood baskets. To place pigeons<br />
to the basket, the door on the top opens easily due to the steel<br />
hinge and folds across the center of the basket, unlike all other<br />
baskets that swing up length ways. The door is locked in place<br />
when closed, using an oversized plastic turn button. The center<br />
support of the basket is 1 ¾” wide for added strength, as all the<br />
weight with the pigeons in the basket, takes the brunt of this<br />
weight and it needs the extra width. The wood basket is fine as<br />
it is, but we suggest you paint it to protect the wood and added<br />
beauty. Varnishing the basket makes it a real gem.<br />

P.M. Heavy Duty Aluminum Baskets<br />
The P.M. Baskets are exclusive at Foy’s and you’ll find no<br />
better. Each basket has dividers that keep each bird in an<br />
individual compartment. The aluminum used to construct these<br />
baskets, is much heavier than others on the market, this extra<br />
strength reduces the possibility of dents. It is very important that<br />
each bird be offered maximum ventilation, each compartment<br />
has two round holes in the front, and the design below each<br />
circle and also in the rear of each compartment serve as not only<br />
an attractive design, they are also vent holes. Each end has three<br />
vent holes which allows cross ventilation. The individual dividers<br />
in each basket are easily removed to offer wider sections to allow<br />
for the wider needs of breeds such as Fantails and muffed<br />
breeds. Each compartment is 4 5/8th inch wide, and each have a<br />
flexible, strong plastic top that lifts up to add or remove each bird,<br />
one at a time. Bumpers are at the bottom of each corner to prevent<br />
scratching the surface you place the basket on. Fold down<br />
handles that have extra metal braces that add extra strength. The<br />
top of the baskets is designed with a simulated dark wood grain..<br />
The baskets are used to take birds to a show, widowhood racing<br />
and transporting birds, excepted by most airlines. Each basket is<br />
8 ½” high and the double decker is 17 ½” high. They are all 11 ½”<br />
front to back. A basket you’ll be proud to own. COST MORE-<br />

FINAL CLOSEOUTS<br />
Clearify Liquid<br />
Prevention of RESPIRATORY problems is so<br />
very important, and yet no fancier wants to<br />
overuse antibiotics. Clearify, an ALL-NATURAL product,<br />
was introduced in 2015,and has become one of<br />
the bestselling pigeon respiratory treatments in all of<br />
Europe. If you race or fly your pigeons, a respiratory issue will<br />
reduce their ability to compete, as their breathing is affected. If<br />
your pigeons are not flying as long as they should, or upon landing,<br />
they are breathing with the mouth open, you may have<br />
a respiratory issue that needs your attention. Clearify is meant to<br />
PREVENT respiratory problems, and it is All NATURAL. Clearify<br />
produces no side effects and is more potent than Tylan. Use<br />
for three days every week starting a couple of weeks before the<br />
race season or competitive flying, and then twice a week during<br />
the flying season. For pigeons such as Racing Homers, Rollers<br />
and Tipplers. The 250 ml bottle will make a bit over 6 gallons of<br />
drinking water, and is safe in all weather conditions, including<br />
extremely hot days. Tests in Europe gave the pigeons 100%<br />
relief from respiratory diseases.<br />

line, and turn the two screws to tighten it. Meant for use with our<br />

viewer windows so that you can see how much feed is left<br />

A handy all plastic feeder used for grit or feed.<br />
The all plastic construction means it will resist<br />
all the salts in grit and because it is plastic, it<br />
will not rust or corrode. Each feeder has small "feet" at the<br />
bottom to help air flow under it to discourage damp spots,<br />
and the flip top makes it very easy to fill and there is no better<br />
design to keep birds from roosting on top of it and fouling it<br />
with droppings.<br />

Heavy Duty<br />
Plastic<br />
Feeder<br />
A very well made feeder,<br />
with the added benefit of<br />
reducing waste. The feeding<br />
spaces are a bit closer together and will reduce waste<br />
because the birds can not toss it out. The feeders will also<br />
reduce insects from gathering under the feeder due to the<br />
placement of legs to keep it a bit off the floor. A top quality<br />
feeder that will last for years and years. Also great for grit<br />
because the heavy duty plastic will not react to the salt in<br />
grit like a metal feeder might.<br />

pigeon candy, peanuts or mung beans.<br />
All but eliminates waste, because the pigeon must stick its<br />

Poultry Drench<br />
Specifically formulated for all poultry. Our<br />
approach is to promote overall health to<br />
boost the immune system FAST! Nutri-Drench<br />
moves to the blood stream, eliminating the hours<br />
needed for digestion. Nutri-Drench can be measured<br />
in the blood stream in minutes with 99%<br />
utilization. Nutri-Drench increases the appetite, improves<br />
hatchability of eggs, you will get stronger new born, withstand<br />
extreme weather, reduce the strain of shipping birds,<br />
reduce the diarrhea caused by heat stress, and reduce vitamin<br />
deficiencies. Balanced nutrition is important to growth,<br />
reproduction and resistance to disease. Stress can be<br />
caused by a number of factors, however poultry hide problems<br />
very well until stress becomes critical. In all cases,<br />
FAST replacement nutrition is important or poultry can go<br />
into shock and die. Even disease is difficult to diagnose.<br />
When poultry begins to show obvious signs of illness, they<br />
are already seriously ill. Balanced, replacement nutrition<br />
should be used at the same time as antibiotics are being<br />
used. Nutri-Drench contains only Natural Nutritional Ingredients.<br />
Nutri-Drench may be used in proportions. Backed<br />
by 20 years of research, field trials.<br />

Feeding Trays<br />
I think this is a really great idea for<br />
the fancier who enjoys spending<br />
time in the loft, feeding the birds. This is a<br />
method the Europeans have enjoyed for years. Place the<br />
tray on the floor and place feed in it. The birds will flock<br />
to the floor and eat from the tray, keeping the floor clean.<br />
They will push and shove trying to get to the choice seeds,<br />
and that's part of the fun. When you have decided they<br />
have had enough, remove the tray. This allows you to<br />
control the feed and the birds become quite tame. Ring<br />
a bell, shake a can of feed or use a whistle every time you<br />
feed and they will quickly recognize the sound as feeding<br />
time. Do not dump a bunch of feed in the tray. Add a<br />
handful at a time. Colors vary.<br />

DRINKERS<br />
Spanish Style Cage Drinker<br />
Extremely well made and very<br />
well designed. The units come in<br />
two sections and come apart for cleaning<br />
and filling. Heavy, commercial grade<br />
plastic, will last a lifetime with minimum<br />
care. The drinking ports protrude out and offer easy access<br />
for the birds and also help prevent debris and droppings<br />
from fowling the water. Just about impossible, because of<br />
the design, for birds to roost on top of the drinker. Mainly<br />
used in breeding, isolation or sick bay. I use them and am<br />
quite pleased with them.<br />

Drinker / Feeder Shelf<br />
Many people comment that they<br />
can not keep the drinking water<br />
clean. I use these myself and they really<br />
work well. As I mentioned in one of<br />
my TIPS, I suggested you move the water drinkers around<br />
so that you do not have wet spots if it were always in the<br />
same spot. This shelf solves the problem. I also like them,<br />
because it is one less thing I have to move when cleaning<br />
the floor. This handy, Amish made shelf will come close<br />
to keeping the water sparkling clean. Attach it to the wall<br />
and if you are not using it, it will fold down against the wall.<br />
Wood frame with a galvanized wire base. Sit your water on<br />
one and feeder on the other. Available in two sizes. The<br />
smaller one has a platform 15 ¾” x 15 ¾” and the larger<br />
one is meant to hold a drinker and possibly a grit feeder or<br />
pick pots. Measures 31 ½” L x 15 ¾”. What a great idea!<br />

The drinker holds a bit over 3.3<br />
quarts. The three liter (101 ounces) is<br />
meant for cages with a number of pigeons<br />
or a large chicken or two. The Large Cage Drinker<br />
goes inside the cage and stands on its own, but<br />
also has a metal attachment with clip to clip on<br />
the cage wire to hold in place. The drinker is also<br />
handy if you need to leave for a few days and you need a<br />
larger amount of water available to the birds in a cage.<br />

Spanish Large Cage Drinker<br />
There are cases where you may<br />
need a large drinker for a cage.<br />
Cases where you have to be away for a few days<br />
or more, your cage is large and has multiple<br />
birds and you need to offer a larger drinker, etc.<br />
The unique design of the Spanish Large Cage<br />
Drinker allows you to slip the base through the wires and<br />
lock it in place. It has a bottom screw off lid should you want<br />
to remove the drinker that still has water in it, this prevents<br />
spillage. The bottle also slips off the base for easy filling as<br />
well as being opaque which allows you to see the level of<br />
water. The base that holds the water is a corrosive resistant<br />
aluminum. Holds a bit over two quarts. Great for pigeons,<br />
poultry and cage birds.<br />

Spanish Cage Drinkers<br />
It is always nice to be able to add<br />
feed and water to birds in a breeding<br />
cage or birds in quarantine for whatever reason,<br />
without actually opening the cage door. It is always<br />
a possibility that when you are opening the door to<br />
feed and water the birds, they will escape. This cage<br />
drinker eliminates that possibility because it is on the<br />
outside of the cage. The base of the drinker slips thru<br />
the cage wire and with a twist, it is locked in place. The top slips<br />
off the base, so when you want to fill it with water, you need not<br />
unscrew it, which would be difficult. The drinker is all plastic and<br />
you can see the level of the water in a glance. A problem at many<br />
shows is the fact that the birds in their cages often spill the water<br />
and make a mess. Take one of these to a show, one for each<br />
bird, and the water will not be spilled and it is almost impossible<br />
to foul the water. As I have stressed many times in this catalog,<br />
birds at a show are stressed by having to drink water that they<br />
are not familiar with and this may cause stress. Bring your own<br />
water and if you want to add something like our Show Water, it<br />
will help prevent stress even more. Great for pigeons, cage birds<br />
and chickens.<br />

Plastic Crock For Feed Or Water<br />
Crocks are easy to clean<br />
and have no reaction to<br />
hard water, medications, or vitamins,<br />
etc. I have used the large crock myself<br />
for many years. I like them because<br />
they hold exactly one gallon which means when I add something<br />
to the water, it is easy because I don't have to measure<br />
out a gallon. I do not use a heater in the winter. I go out in<br />
the morning, pick up the frozen one and hit it against a block<br />
and the ice pops out. I replace it with the one I had washed<br />
the day before. The small is 8" x 2 ½” deep and the large is<br />
11 ½” x 3 ½” deep.<br />

of knocking the ice out in the winter and the ease of cleaning.<br />
Cone top prevents roosting, the wire grill allows maximum<br />
access. Pans are 11 ½” wide and 2 ½” deep. 1 gallon.<br />

Float Valve<br />
There are two styles, flat<br />
and round. There are also<br />
fanciers who wish to build their own automatic<br />
drinkers and would need a float valve that<br />
turns the water on and off. As the water level is lowered, the<br />
valve allows more water to come in.<br />

CAGE BIRD<br />
False Eggs<br />
False eggs are used for a<br />
number of purposes. Pigeon<br />
fanciers use them when they want to stop raising<br />
youngsters. They remove the real eggs and replace them<br />
with the false pigeon eggs. Pigeons do not know the difference<br />
and will sit on these false eggs until past the normal hatching<br />
date. Pigeon fanciers also will place under the pigeon when the<br />
hen stays in the nest bowl as though they have eggs but in fact<br />
they have not laid. It is thought that if you put false eggs under<br />
the pair, they will sit on them until the hatching time and this<br />
may start the regular cycle of laying eggs. Cage bird fanciers<br />
use them for the same reasons. Some fanciers like the wood<br />
and others prefer the plastic, where possible, we offer both. The<br />
cage bird eggs are all available in plastic only.<br />

Nest Bowl Liner for Cage Birds<br />
These are great for the cage birds. They are<br />
soft felt and will help keep eggs from breaking<br />
and help keep them warm. Each liner is made<br />
to fit our Nest Bowls for Cage Birds and comes<br />
in the three sizes needed. Each liner is cut in such away that<br />
when placed in the appropriate bowl, they will fit snug and will<br />

Nest Bowls for Cage Birds<br />
We had been looking for these for a couple<br />
of years, and the only supplier we could<br />
find was, in our opinion, an inferior product that<br />
was overpriced. We found these nest bowls and nest pads that<br />
are high quality and reasonably priced. The bowls come in 3<br />
sizes and clip on to wire or they could also be attached to a wall.<br />
Very sturdy construction and they will last a very long time. They<br />
are beige in color. The small one is 4" outside diameter X 1 ½”<br />
high, the medium is 4 ½” X 1 ¾” high and the large is 5 ¼” X 2<br />
¼” high. Please note that we also have the nest liners and liner<br />
clips to fit these cage bird nests bowls.<br />

Breeder Units<br />
Reintroduced to the pigeon fanciers after not<br />
being able to get them for the past few years.<br />
These units have so many features, you’ll wonder how you<br />
got along without them. The four level is separated in the<br />
middle, by a small section where the feed and water containers<br />
are located. The feed and drink containers are included.<br />
A separate spring loaded door gives you access<br />
to the feeder and drinker, without disturbing the pigeons.<br />
Each level has individual slide out trays. The floors of the<br />
units are plastic coated wire that allows the droppings to fall<br />
thru to the removable tray below. A really nice feature is that<br />
each complete unit has casters on each of the four legs,<br />
this allows the unit to be moved very easily. The complete<br />
unit is constructed with long lasting plastic coated wire, this<br />
wire is spaced close enough to prevent the possibility of a<br />
pigeon sticking a head or wing thru the wire and causing<br />
injury. The four level may serve you as a mating cage, put<br />
the hen on one side and the cock on the other. The cock is<br />
prevented from possibly attacking a hen that is not its mate,<br />
leave in the unit for a week or so and the cock bird will then<br />
be placed with the hen. Another popular use is a breeding<br />
cage. Each unit is 35 ¾” X 32 ¾” X 16 ½” high, this allows<br />
plenty of room for the pair to breed in, just add a nest bowl.<br />
Another popular use is a sick bay unit. Every vet or experienced<br />
breeder will suggest that as soon as you notice a sick<br />
bird, remove it from contact with the others thus reducing<br />
the spread of the sickness to the other birds. The units are<br />
shipped disassembled, and are very easy to put together.<br />
The two level unit is shipped in one box and the four level<br />
unit is shipped in two boxes. The units are very well built but<br />
very heavy. The two level unit is 43” tall and the four level unit<br />
is 67” tall. A bit pricey but will last years and years. Please<br />
note that the two level unit is two large compartments not<br />
divided.<br />

Nest Box Four Hole with<br />
Plastic Nest Front<br />
A complete unit that may be set on<br />
the floor of the loft , hung on the wall<br />
or stacked one on top of the other to<br />
create an eight nest unit. The unit may<br />
be used for mating individual pairs, and<br />
is the pairs permanent home. For the<br />
Racing Pigeon flyers, it may be used as a widowhood nest<br />
box. You get two plastic nest fronts that swing in as needed,<br />
and we supply a door that slides up and down, you<br />
may install the door on whichever side you want. We ship<br />
the unit disassembled, but it is easy and quick to put together.<br />
We install all the black nest front holders, so you do<br />
not have to worry about where they go. All the screws are<br />
supplied and we pre-drill the hole so that you know where<br />
to place the screws. The first time I used one, I put it together<br />
in less than 15 minutes. Completely sanded and you<br />
may want to consider painting it before or after assembly.<br />
The total unit is 30 ½” from left to right, 15 ½” front to back<br />
and 30 ½” high. Each nest box unit is 14" left to right, 14"<br />
front to back and 14 ¼” high. We supply the plastic fronts.<br />
If you decide to hang the unit on the wall, we suggest you<br />
put a screw in each interior corner. We do not supply the<br />
hanging screws.<br />

Double Hanging Breeder Cage<br />
This is ideal for the fancier that<br />
lacks floor space, or has a<br />
tough time bending over to observe or<br />
feed and water birds in a breeder unit.<br />
The Double Breeder Cage is big enough to put one pair<br />
on each side, but you can remove the center divider and<br />
allow the birds to see each other and get used to each<br />
other before putting them together to mate. There are occasions<br />
when you put two strange birds together and the<br />
cock will beat up the hen because they are not a pair. By<br />
allowing the two birds to get acquainted before getting together,<br />
you will just about remove that possibility. You receive<br />
two double cage cups that will hold feed. A wire floor<br />
and a slide out tray, below the wire floor, to remove droppings.<br />
Each side has a spring loaded door to get access<br />
to the birds. 46 ½” x 17 ½” Front to Back and 15 ¾” High.<br />

Simpson's Heater Stand<br />
This Heater/Feeder Stand<br />
was noticed while visiting the<br />
lofts of a friend, Ron Simpson. Ron came<br />
up with this idea and with his permission,<br />
we are making this available to our customers.<br />
Made in our own woodworking<br />
shop, owned and operated by John Raber.<br />
The unit is 20 5/8 in. high and 15 5/8 in. from front to<br />
back. We have made the top so that it flips up, should you<br />
have a drinker that is quite tall. Without flipping the top up,<br />
you have 11½ in. of height to place your heater or drinker.<br />
This unit was designed to keep your water from freezing,<br />
but it most certainly can be used year round, as it goes a<br />
long ways in keeping the drinking water clean. There are two<br />
holes in the back of the unit, on down near where it meets<br />
the floor and the other higher, just above where you would<br />
place your drinker. These holes are to slip your extension<br />
cord thru, in order to plug in your heater. This stand will accommodate<br />
just about any heater, including our #294 Can<br />
Heater and Heavy Duty Heaters #3461 thru #3464. The<br />
Can Heater goes under the stand, tilt back and place the<br />
Can Heater in position. The stand also has four small holes<br />
that align the Heavy Duty Heaters and this prevents the<br />
Heavy Duty Heaters from moving. This is a great unit, made<br />
mostly of wood, and as all of the wood products, the wood<br />
is sanded to a very smooth surface. <strong>Foy's</strong> suggest you paint<br />
the unit which will give an even longer life, in fact will last<br />
you a life time when painted and years and years even if you<br />
do not paint it. No frozen water and water that stays much<br />
cleaner. Made in <strong>Foy's</strong> Own Workshop.<br />
#157 Simpson's Heater Drinker Stand $59.00<br />
Thermostatic Heater<br />
With the cost of electricity so high,<br />
you should consider this money<br />
saver which operates only when you need it.<br />
Designed for the metal double wall drinkers<br />
including our hood drinkers. Also may be used with our<br />
P.M. Drinkers. Automatically turns itself on when temperature<br />
drops below 38˚ and protects in temperatures as low as<br />
10˚F. Includes a grounded plug and a 8' cord. 16" wide x<br />
4" high. 125 watts of power.<br />
#296 Thermostatic Heater $62.00<br />
Can Heater<br />
Use under your metal<br />
drinker to prevent freezing.<br />
9" in diameter x 5 ¾” high. This item will<br />
require your putting it under a platform as it may be too high<br />
for most breeds to drink from. Make your own platform, or<br />
place a brick or 2x4 next to it for pigeons to stand on while<br />
they drink. This heater uses 40 watt light bulbs. Do not use<br />
with plastic drinkers.<br />
#294 Can Heater $35.00<br />
Metal Drinker<br />
Platform<br />
This sturdy galvanized<br />
platform serves 2 purposes. It<br />
serves as a platform for you to place your heater under and<br />
it also helps keep your water clean by keeping the fountain<br />
almost 6" off the floor, thus allowing less debris to blow in.<br />
The hole is off center, hence you would not be able to use<br />
the twin duplex fountains. Measures 16" x 11 ½” x 5 ¾”. Use<br />
with our #294 heater.<br />
#291 Metal Drinker Platform $13.00<br />
Heavy Duty Heater<br />
Bullet<br />
Flat<br />
Our heavy duty plastic round heater that is great in cold climates.<br />
It is a continuous heater that stays on all the time,<br />
regardless of the outside temperature. Each unit has a small<br />
red light that goes on when it is plugged in and in this way, if<br />
for some reason your unit is not working or the power is off,<br />
you know at a glance. They are 1 ¼” high and come with a 6'<br />
cord and two prong plug. Good for just about any drinker, from<br />
a gallon to 2.5 gallons. Should you like to control the heat,<br />
we would suggest a Thermo Cube-Cold Weather double plug.<br />
The #2188 goes on when the temperature drops to 20 degrees<br />
and shuts off when the temperature goes to 30 degrees and<br />
above. The maximum temperature that the Heavy Duty Heaters<br />
will reach is between 75 degrees and 86 degrees. The<br />
molded projection of the Bullet Heater is 3” in diameter and 1<br />
¼” high.<br />

Large Wood Cafeteria<br />
Feeder<br />

plywood construction. The top comes off for<br />
easy filling of up to 50 lbs. of feed. Two sided access<br />
with five 1 ¾” diameter holes for feeding 5 to 10 birds at the<br />

eat only when they are hungry and must eat what is in front of<br />
them. Slanted inside to flow the feed to the holes. 13 5/8" wide x<br />
12 ½” deep x 19" high. Comes with a wood cover for each side.<br />

scattered feed. Made in <strong>Foy's</strong> Own Workshop.<br />

birds.<br />

Guard<br />
I use these and really<br />

plastic covered wire cover. Stays clean<br />

Pick Pot<br />
Feeder<br />

would like to reuse the empty pick<br />
pots. This feeder will hold 3 pick<br />
pots. Fill them with grit, salt, Vitamineral,<br />
grains or any item you want your<br />
birds to have access to. All wood<br />
construction with access all around. Shipped without pick<br />
pots. Measures 14 1/8" long x 7 5/8" high x 6 ¼” wide. Made<br />
in our workshop, custom sizes available.<br />
#153 Pick Pot Feeder $22.00<br />
P.M. Antibacterial Feeder<br />
Factory made and completely sanded for a smooth surface.<br />
What makes this feeder unique is the plastic tray insert.<br />
The plastic insert is stain resistant and removable for easy<br />
washing. The grit, because of the salts and minerals, has a<br />
tendency to dry out the wood prematurely. The plastic liner<br />
protects the wood. Another unique feature of this feeder is<br />
that they are treated with an antibacterial agent, which helps<br />
reduce the possibility of a bacterial disease. The bottom<br />
includes small feet that keep it a bit off the floor to alter air<br />
flow. Dampness tends to collect under feeders and drinkers,<br />
and dampness is one of the worst things one can have in a<br />
loft. The dowels are 3/8" hardwood and spaced to allow each<br />
bird easy access. I like the flat roof, which is hinged. It is so<br />
easy and quick to clean. Many feeders with the gabled roofs,<br />
have two surfaces to clean. We offer three sizes to fit most<br />
needs, and each of the three are 7 ½” high and 7" wide. The<br />
longer feeders may require extra postage due to their length.<br />

Record keeping is very important, and yet many fanciers do very little. When you breed your birds, you should put a pair marker<br />
band on each bird. I use a blue numbered snap-on for cocks and a pink numbered snap-on for the hens. Snap-ons are sold in<br />
packs of 1-12. 13-24,25-36 and 37-48. The cock, for example, is banded with a blue #1 and his mate is banded with a pink #1.<br />
When I mate up my birds, I mark each nest box with the corresponding number of the pair. Nest box #1 is occupied by pair #1. I<br />
do this by placing each pair in a nest box until they are mated and have claimed their nest box. I record the nest box and pair on<br />
breeding record cards, which I keep in the loft. Periodically, or at the end of the breeding season, I record cards to my loft register.<br />
I keep a loft register for each year, sometimes I use more than one loft register book. It is important to write the year on the front of<br />
each loft register book, as years go by, it is easier to find the book I want. If I need to fill out a pedigree blank, I will need to get the<br />
information from the loft register books. Some people never sell birds, and do not think they need to keep records. I strongly suggest<br />
you keep accurate records as possible. If you raise a really good bird, you would certainly want to know where it came from,<br />
wouldn’t you? If you have a really good pair of breeders, and something happens to one of them, wouldn’t you want to know if you<br />
have offspring of the pair so that you can mate the mother to a son or the father to a daughter. Keeping records takes very little time<br />
but if you don’t do it, no amount of work will supply the information needed.<br />

Loft Sheets<br />
Stiff sheets, 5" x 8", fit into<br />

from Belgium and they have always<br />
been a good seller and served the needs of the<br />
fancier. The Spanish Style Gallipot looks just like<br />
our Belgium Gallipot, the only difference is that<br />
it is a very high quality, polished plastic that will<br />
last for years and years. The Belgium Gallipot is a crock pot and<br />
will break if handled roughly or is dropped. These gallipots are<br />
super in mating cages or isolation cages. Take them to a show<br />
and place them in the cage with your bird. We suggest you attach<br />
it to the wires with a rubber band. The top edge curls in so<br />
that much less feed is wasted. Available in two sizes.<br />

TIP:<br />
· A hen can be found dead before she lays an egg, and<br />
without any previous signs of a problem.<br />
· Some hens lay only one egg or do not ever lay one<br />
· You will, on occasion have a rough shell egg, softshelled<br />
egg or very odd shaped eggs, or very small<br />
of unusually large eggs.<br />
· The hen, at times is not able to pass her egg.<br />
· On occasion a hen who just laid an egg may not<br />
be limp or not be able to fly. This condition is rarely<br />
permanent and will go away in a couple of days.<br />
· If no mate is available, two cocks may mate or two<br />
hens will mate. If the two cocks mate there will be no<br />
eggs, two mated hens will product 4 infertile eggs.<br />
· It is never a good idea to use antibiotics when very<br />
young.<br />

NPA BAND SIZE CHART | AU, IF AND NPA YEAR BANDS<br />
NPA Bands - The National Pigeon Association is an organization all fancy pigeon breeders should consider joining. This is the only national fancy pigeon<br />
organization and sponsors the National Pigeon Show every year. The NPA offers many benefits and supports our pigeon keeping future. See order information<br />
chart for correct band size and shipping information. To contact the NPA call 404-922-4960. If you do not put the leg bands on your pigeons, you<br />
are certainly not doing the hobby any good. These leg bands are placed on the baby birds when they are very young. When the baby grows, the band<br />
will never come off. The leg band contains a serial number, year born, and the organization that issued the leg band. If you do not band your birds, you<br />
can never show the bird, plus it makes the bird almost impossible to sell to another pigeon fancier. Everyone who buys or trades pigeons wants to<br />
know how old the bird is and without a seamless leg band, there is no way to know how old your bird is. Here at <strong>Foy's</strong> we take calls almost every day<br />
from someone who has found a bird and would like to know who it belongs to. We keep records on the band sales and if we sold the band, we direct the<br />
caller to the breeder. If we did not sell the band, we can usually direct the caller to the organization that sold the band. Sadly, we get more calls than we<br />
should from callers who found birds with no band and the caller is at a loss as to what to do. Bad publicity for this great hobby is something we always<br />
want to discourage. When someone calls with a lost bird, it always impresses the caller when we can direct them to the breeder. Do your<br />
part and help our hobby, band your birds with a seamless leg band.<br />

TIPS:<br />
Give youngsters a chance to build up some of their own natural<br />
immunity: make sure that the medication is only given<br />
when the pigeons really need it. Treat your youngsters only<br />
when necessary.<br />
Personalized<br />
Seamless Bands<br />
Used by fanciers to increase the<br />
chances that a lost bird will be returned to<br />
the breeder. The folks who do the WHITE<br />
BIRD RELEASES use these frequently,<br />
with the name of their business including<br />
their phone number. Anyone that raises<br />
flying varieties of pigeons should use these either as their only<br />
leg band, or on the opposite foot of the regular leg band. If<br />
you ever plan on showing your birds, you must have a regular<br />
band on the bird, along with your personalized band. Check<br />
out the NPA chart on the previous page to see which breeds<br />
they will fit. They are put on the bird when it is still in the nest.<br />
You may use 2 lines with 17 spaces per line. Line 3 is consecutive<br />
numbers only. A space means a letter or empty space<br />
between them. Your orders must be online, e-mailed, faxed<br />
or on a piece of paper. WE CAN NOT ACCEPT PHONE OR-<br />
DERS FOR PERSONALIZED BANDS. Allow 10-12 weeks for<br />
delivery. EXPRESS MAIL AVAILABLE, call for cost. (2-3 weeks)<br />
Colors: White, Blue, Green, Red, Yellow, Orange, and Black.<br />
ONLY AVAILABLE IN SIZE 8. Line 1) up to 17 spaces<br />
Line 2) up to 17 spaces Line 3) consecutive numbers only<br />
(example 0-99, 1-100, 101-200)<br />

The narrow Snap<br />

Rings, but are the same<br />
inside diameter. Available<br />
in 15 colors! Look much<br />
better on small breeds,<br />
but a bit loose on pigeons<br />
smaller than Racing Homers.<br />
There are times<br />
where you may want to put two rings on the same leg, and<br />
this is the ring you would want to use.<br />

E-Z LOCK RINGS WITH NUMBERS AND WITHOUT NUMBERS<br />
Seamless banding pigeons is so very important. If a bird goes missing, a seamless band, in almost all cases, can be tracked back<br />
to the original purchaser of the band. If you want to sell a bird, it is much harder to sell the bird because there is no way to know<br />
how old the bird is. If you want to race, show or fly in any completion, the bird most likely will not be able to be entered without a<br />
seamless band. Foy’s also offers a seamless personalized band. The personalized band can have your name, phone number or<br />
other information that recognizes you as the breeder of the bird. The seamless birth bands may be found elsewhere in this catalog,<br />
check the index. Marker bands as found on this page and the next, serve a totally different purpose. Marker bands are used to mark<br />
special birds, male and females, pairs, etc. They come in many colors and sizes. You can get them plain or numbered. An example<br />
of using numbered would be to use a numbered marker, say number one in blue for the cock and for his mate, put a number one<br />
in pink that Identifies the pair as pair number one. I sell a lot of birds, and when I ship the mature birds, I mark the cocks with a blue<br />
band and the hens with a pink. Sometimes I have birds that are not for sale and I mark them with a colored marker band with a<br />
color that is not used for anything else. Marker bands are all removable. You only put seamless bands on the babies in the nest but<br />
the marker bands, being removable, can be but on or removed at any time. Seamless bands and marker bands come in a number<br />
of sizes based on the breed you keep. There is a chart in this catalog that tells you what size each breed uses. We register all the<br />
seamless bands, so if you buy seamless bands from Foy’s, we register what you buy, and your contact information.<br />

The ring can be closed fast and<br />
easily attaches to the birds leg by pinching<br />
the sides together. Once the ring is closed,<br />
it can not be opened unless you want to<br />
open it by using something with a point, such as a pen.<br />

Band Storage Boxes<br />
We sell a variety of band<br />
storage boxes to try to meet<br />
the needs of a variety of breeders. As a<br />
pigeon breeder most of my life, I recognize<br />
the need to have a variety of market bands<br />
in the loft. Some uses of marker bands are:<br />
E-Z Elastic Rings<br />
• Mark all the cocks and hens.<br />
• Use a single color or combination of colors to mark a family<br />
of pigeons. By using a narrow line band, you might put a<br />
red and green on the same leg to identify all the young from<br />
a special pair.<br />
• If you are raising some special birds for a particular race,<br />
mark each bird you raise for that race.<br />
• If you raise White Homers for the release business or young<br />
Racers to fly in a team, each team member gets a special<br />
color.<br />
I am sure you can think of other uses of marker bands and a<br />
band storage box would be great for any loft. We offer two<br />
sizes of band boxes. The small is 10 ½” long and 6 ½” front<br />
to back. The small includes dividers to create a total of 15<br />
compartments of various sizes. The large band box is 13 ¾” x<br />
8 ¾”. The large includes dividers to create 24 compartments<br />
of various sizes.<br />

E-Z Splitring With Numbers<br />
Made in Belgium to vary exacting<br />
size. Available on a "card" in increments<br />
of 12 per card. Remove them<br />
from the card as you need them. The<br />
card includes an expander which expands<br />
the band to the width needed<br />
to place them on the birds leg. Available<br />
in yellow, blue, pink, orange, green,<br />
red, black , silver, violet, and white. The<br />
numbers are laser engraved with a lifetime warranty on the<br />
print. We suggest 2.5 mm for finch, 3 mm for canaries and 4<br />
mm for parakeets. Please be sure to order by product number<br />
and give us your choice of color.<br />

A new concept of elastic rings which can easily be put over<br />
the leg of a bird using the specifically manufactured E-Z Ringing<br />
Gun. Thanks to the use of highly elastic material, the rings<br />
can expand up to 5 times their original size.<br />
Benefits:<br />
• The limited height of the rings makes it possible to<br />
combine several colors of rings, one above the other,<br />
greatly expanding the options for marking.<br />
• No concerns about the rings becoming too tight as the<br />
ring expands with the growth of the bird.<br />
• The rings are very soft and pliable.<br />
• The rings come in a series of bright colors which makes it<br />
very easy to see them on the birds. This new concept<br />
clearly provides the fancier with nothing but benefits.<br />
• Great for pigeons, cage birds, poultry or any type of bird<br />
that requires a way to identify them.<br />
Your first order should be a Starter Kit, which includes the<br />
applicator gun and 20 of the E-Z Elastic Rings in an assortment<br />
of colors. They come in 6 sizes from the smallest for<br />
cage birds and the largest size for poultry or larger pigeons.<br />
When you order the Starter Kit you have what you need in<br />
the size you need, and you do not need the applicator gun in<br />
the future. Colors available are yellow, green, red, violet and<br />
blue.<br />

"Courageous Couriers"<br />
In November 2008 I received a call from Jake<br />
Van Dyke of Florance, Alabama. He told me<br />
that after the American Pigeon Journal went<br />
out of business, a relative of Frank Hollmann,<br />
who was a relative and member of the Tennessee<br />
Pigeon and Dove Club, acquired the<br />
remaining copies of an out of print book called<br />
"Courageous Couriers". The relative distributed<br />
copies to all the club members and then Jake acquired the<br />
remaining books. These books have been in storage for many<br />
years and in November 2008, <strong>Foy's</strong> purchased the remaining<br />
books and, while they last, we offer these antique, World War<br />
II books to you, our customer. This edition was published by<br />
Frank Hollmann of The American Pigeon Journal in May 1977.<br />
These "Memoirs of a Pigeon Soldier" and the chronology of<br />
events commence with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.<br />
It was a well-kept secret, but an American infantry division<br />
landed in Northern Ireland in January 1912, and by mid<br />
1912 the United States was deploying military pigeon communications<br />
detachments to overseas destinations. Chapter<br />
1 covers pigeons and Pearl Harbor. Chapter II covers<br />
the pigeon as "Messengers Since Dawn of Civilization".<br />
Many black and white photos are in this 136 page, soft covered<br />
book, including many well known and some lesser known pigeon<br />
heroes. Army lofts, equipment, personnel, methods and<br />
training information is in this interesting book. Were you aware<br />
that you can train racing homers to fly two ways, back and<br />
forth to two different lofts? This book tells you how to do it.<br />
There is just so much fascinating information. You'll be better<br />
informed about your pigeons and you'll also learn much about<br />
how the Pigeon Corps operated. This is a real collectors book.<br />

many of the problems that can occur when you<br />
attempt ANY residential or hobby building project.<br />
I have had various consultations with government<br />
department officials over the years, and want my<br />
knowledge to be useful to others. Whether you want to build<br />
or remodel a pigeon loft, an outbuilding or a new house addition,<br />
this book will help guide you. Some people are going to be<br />
interested in stopping your project, because they may not have<br />
learned what an interesting hobby you have. That makes it necessary<br />
to proceed with your project legally, and carefully. In portions<br />
of this book I give you information about my worldly travels,<br />
and insight about lofts and flying in Japan. I lived and traveled<br />
there 18 months. I joined the Aomori City Racing Pigeon (desho<br />
bato) Club, and raced pigeons of two young bird seasons.<br />

"The Search For Those Fabulous Whittinghams"<br />
(Rollers)<br />
This is actually a set of two booklets, totaling over 300 pages.<br />
This was a home publishing project so be aware the<br />
booklets are not professionally done. This is an archival project<br />
to preserve elements of the Birmingham Roller history<br />
in the United States and Canada. These two booklets are<br />
an attempt to replace a scrapbook stolen from the United<br />
Roller Club in 1937. Both authors Steve Roth and Joe Quinn<br />
have maintained private collections of letters, bulletins, articles<br />
and personal correspondence. Both authors feared<br />
that their collection would be lost on their demise, so they<br />
produced these booklets of Rollers in the mid 1800's. In the<br />
fall of 1947 Bill Pensom came to this country and brought<br />
along some of his best Rollers which were a mix of the Whittinghams.<br />
If you are a flying Roller/breeder, these books<br />
will offer an insight to the history of Rollers and make you a<br />
better informed Roller flyer. Written by Steve Roth and Joe<br />
Quinn. 406 pages.<br />

TIP:<br />
The hobby of pigeon keeping is one that is mostly learned<br />
thru just having them and if you are lucky enough to have<br />
a mentor at the beginning, you are a lucky person. The<br />
second best thing you should consider is to borrow or buy<br />
books on the keeping of pigeons. Reading books about<br />
pigeon keeping just makes so much sense and will save<br />
you from making the simplest of mistakes. A book is a path<br />
to take; a learning tool and a way to make the hobby so<br />
much more enjoyable.<br />

#9010 Dr. Walker's The Pigeon $148.00<br />
As many of you know, I am a big believer in reading books<br />
to learn. When it comes to learning about pigeons, it is so<br />
very important. Pigeon keeping is so unique and interesting,<br />
but many questions will arise, mistakes made, wrong medications<br />
used, etc. How to? When to? Why? It is all in books and<br />
I am surprised how little is known by the beginner and very<br />
often the person who has had pigeons most of their life. As a<br />
person who has had pigeons most of my life, a person who<br />
is counted on to have answers and someone who can share<br />
the How, When and Why, I would be lost without books. On<br />
many occasions I am asked questions that I have no answer<br />
for, and I will suggest to the person that I will have to get<br />
back to them. What do I do then, I go to my books. For many<br />
years I was so lucky to have a close friend, Dr. Pigeon (Muard<br />
Nagel), and when stumped, he was my go-to guy, but he left<br />
this world way too early. I wish he would have found the time<br />
to write a book.<br />
What books would I suggest you consider? Well it depends<br />
on your breeds, are you a beginner, have you had pigeons for<br />
years, do you race, fly rollers, Tipplers, High Flyers, do you<br />
show birds? Here is what I would suggest.<br />

Natural Grit<br />
Mixture of Silex, Red Stone and Oyster<br />
Shells. It does not contain any<br />
appetite-enhancing substances. The various<br />
components are essential for optimum<br />
digestion and to increase the effectiveness<br />
of the grinding of the grains in the gizzard so<br />
that all nourishing substances can be perfectly<br />
assimilated. The red brick particles and the shell fragments<br />
provide the necessary minerals and trace-elements. The<br />
grit is heated to over 200 C to eliminate all harmful microorganisms.<br />
Grit should always be available so that the pigeons<br />
can help themselves accordingly. Imported from Belgium.<br />

Oyster Shell<br />
A natural source of calcium.<br />
A must before and during<br />
breeding season. Especially important for<br />
the hens in order to produce smooth, hard<br />
shell eggs. If the grit you use does not<br />
contain oyster shell, we suggest you add<br />
some. A good pigeon grit may contain as much as 45% oyster<br />
shell. Especially important if you have a hen locked up for breeding.<br />
The loose crushed oyster shell may be used by itself in small<br />
containers or add to your grit.<br />

Granulated Charcoal<br />
When you feed grit with charcoal,<br />
the birds will eat the charcoal<br />
before anything else. Natural filter for<br />
your birds digestive system. Add to your<br />
grit or feed it in a small container once a<br />
week. I keep an old pick pot container full.<br />
Charcoal absorbs any toxins from the birds system which<br />
contributes to good health. Give them just a small amount in<br />
a small container.<br />

WHAT BENEFIT DOES SEAWEED HAVE FOR PIGEONS?<br />
Green plants from the sea, sometimes called ‘sea vegetables’, like kelp for example, ARE GOOD SOURCES OF IODINE. It<br />
seems that species of birds such as pigeons and parrot like birds that produce milk have a high demand for iodine. Also,<br />
seaweeds are high in other minerals, especially calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. They are also a fair<br />
source of vitamins, including carotene, vitamins A, D and B2. The needs of pigeons for these substances can also be satisfied<br />
through the use of a multivitamin mix in the drinking water. It is also useful to buy a mineral mix that contains safe levels<br />
of selenium, which along with Vitamin E, protects cell membranes against degeneration and also adds in the development<br />
of the immune system.<br />

Energy Corn PELLETS are a pellet rich<br />
in fat, easily digestible and especially developed<br />
to increase the energy percentage of the<br />
grain mixtures that you now use, in a scientifically<br />
justified manner. Energy Corn supplies vitamins,<br />
minerals and amino acids. Cholinee, vitamin<br />
E and Selenium are highly dosed because of the liver and<br />
muscle protection functions. Energy Corn contains proteins<br />
with a high biological value, enriched with essential amino<br />
acids. During the race season it is recommended that you<br />
administer Energy Corn with #1708 Carmine. Suggested use<br />
is 1 ½ teaspoon per pigeon in the morning and the same in<br />
the evening.<br />

Carrot Corn Pellets<br />
Carrot Corn, an extruded pellet fills the<br />
deficiencies found in many feeds. Deficiencies<br />
such as vitamins, trace elements and<br />
minerals are not uncommon. Carrot Corn PEL-<br />
LETS promote a natural resistance to disease,<br />
enriches the grain mixture and should be given<br />
throughout the year. Adding stabilized vitamins, amino acids<br />
and minerals ensures a well-balanced and complete<br />
food. Extra carotenoids, Selenium and Vitamin E and Vitamin<br />
C support immunity. Includes maize (corn), wheat, carrots<br />
10%, adzuki beans, berries (Elderberry and Cranberry<br />
(4%), minerals, vegetable oil, Marigold (0.4%), prebiotics,<br />

example would be if you have 20 birds, add to what you<br />
normally feed them at the rate of 1 teaspoon per bird. Carrot<br />
corn offers all the nutrition a pigeon needs and will help prevent<br />
the pigeons from getting fat, which, like humans, overweight<br />
pigeons are more likely to have health issues and not<br />
fly like they are capable of. A feed supplement to make<br />
your feed more nutritious and healthier.<br />

gives us the best value and<br />
covers the largest range of health issues.<br />

pigeon health problem and All In One contains<br />
Amprolium and is listed as both a treatment and a<br />
preventative for Coccidiosis. Canker (Trichomoniasis) another<br />
common pigeon health issue is both preventable and<br />
treatable. All In One contains the safe drug, Ronidazole,<br />
an effective drug. The third most common health problem<br />
is worms, and All In One contains Levamisole which treats<br />
for most worms with the exception of Tape worms. Tylan<br />
is the drug of choice for respiratory and you’ll find it in All<br />
In One. The fifth ingredient includes probiotics to rebuild<br />

Dimetryl + by Aviomed<br />
Dimetryl is a unique product developed<br />
specifically to treat resistant<br />
strains of Trichomoniasis (Canker). Dimetridazole<br />
is extremely effective at suggested<br />
dosage on container. At higher<br />
doses it is very toxic. Dimetryl contains the<br />
unique Aviomed additive knows as Antitox.<br />
Antitox is a blend of natural substances<br />
that reduces the toxic effect of Dimetridazole,<br />
supports the liver and stimulates the immune system.<br />
With the additive of Antitox, the dosage can safely be increased<br />
and the treatment time is reduced to three days. Dosage is 1<br />
teaspoon per 1 gallon of water for 3 days continuously. If the<br />
weather is hot and the birds are drinking more water, reduce the<br />
dosage to 1 teaspoon per 2 gallons. Use Dimetryl twice during<br />
the race season or when you are flying your birds. Dose early<br />
in the week and do not race or fly competitively within five days<br />
of using Dimetryl. Contains 40% Dimetridazole and Aviomed -<br />

as a flying competition, auction or<br />
show. Also known as Flagyl powder. This large 200 gram<br />
container will make up to 50 gallons. The tablets, called Aviotrich,<br />
have the added effect of stimulating the flying performance<br />
of birds such as Racing Homers, Rollers, Tipplers,<br />
Flights, Doneks, High Flyers, etc. For stimulating, give 1 tablet<br />
one day before shipping for a competition such as a race.<br />

Trizole<br />
Trizole treats both Canker and Coccidiosis<br />
in pigeons. The combination<br />
of Secnidazole and Ronidazole means a single<br />
dose will have rapid but long lasting activity<br />
against Canker. Canker is commonly spread<br />
via food and water by carrier birds and passed<br />
by the parents to the young. Young birds show<br />
classic symptoms such as growth in their<br />
throat or naval. Older birds show weight loss<br />
and weakness or poor flying performances.<br />
Coccidiosis is a common disease of pigeons.<br />
It is a parasite passed from one bird to another via dropping<br />
contamination of food or water. Coccidiosis is always worse<br />
during warm, wet conditions. Trizole tablets after feeding, at the<br />
rate of one tablet per pigeon, once only. Trizole will not cause<br />
infertility or reduced performance. Can be used during breeding<br />
season and when birds have young in the nest. 25mg Ronidazole,<br />
25 mg Secnidazole and 5mg Diclazuril.<br />

acting effect and has minimal side effects. Avionidazole combines<br />
Secnidazole with Ronidazole ensuring that the pigeon fancier<br />
has the best possible product available to prevent Trichomoniasis<br />
(Canker). Add 4 teaspoons to a gallon for 2 days about<br />
8 weeks before racing or show season and again in the middle of<br />
either season. If you have canker add 4 teaspoons to a gallon<br />
for 3 consecutive days. Change daily.<br />

Tony’s Treasure Tablets<br />
Over the years various products have been described<br />
as the “Magic Bullet” Tony’s Treasure Tablets<br />
deserve this title because of the feedback we get from customers<br />
who have found terrific success with the tablets. Here<br />
at Foy’s we receive so many inquiries about pigeon health and<br />
when we ask the customer what the symptoms are, we usually<br />
get one or multiple replies such as fluffed up like they are cold, lethargic,<br />
poor performance, loss of weight, diarrhea, etc. We get<br />
as much information from the customer and we usually suggest<br />
Tony’s Treasure Tablets. Tony’s Treasure works well when treating<br />
one eyed colds, canker, respiratory issues, diarrhea,<br />
weight loss, and more. When people ask what they should<br />
keep on hand, one of the suggestions is Tony’s Treasure Tablets.<br />

Cocci-Cide by Dr. Pigeon<br />
Made from 4 very common ingredients,<br />
which has proven very effective<br />
in treating and controlling Coccidiosis, which<br />
causes emaciation, loss of stamina; thrush. Thrush<br />
causes white ulcer lesions in the mouth and throat; Aspergillosis,<br />
which causes heavy breathing, loss of appetite,<br />
and increased thirst. Add 1 teaspoon per gallon for 3 days.<br />
#7037 Cocci-Cide 8 oz. $11.00<br />
Corid/Amprolium<br />
A very effective product for treatment of Coccidiosis.<br />
Prevention is always the best, as in<br />
any disease, and the best thing you could do<br />
is to be sure your loft floor is dry. Many fancy breeds spend<br />
a lot of time on the floor, breeds such as Fantails, Muffed<br />
Breeds, Runts, Kings, etc. These breeds are more susceptible<br />
to Coccidiosis because if the floor is damp this creates<br />
the ideal breeding ground for Coccidiosis. The liquid<br />
, which is 9.6%, is used at the rate of 2 teaspoons to a gallon<br />
and used for a suggested 7 days. The powder, which is<br />
20%, is used at the rate of one teaspoon per gallon and also<br />
used for a suggested 7 days. Coccidiosis is not a disease<br />
it is a protozoa or similar to a very small bug, and usually<br />
has droppings of very light green which may include small<br />
amounts of blood. Coccidiosis is quite common in pigeons,<br />
and if you suspect your birds may have it, you may want<br />
to send in a sample of the droppings to Foy’s. We partner<br />
with a veterinarian who will look at the droppings thru a microscope<br />
and will know right away if Coccidiosis is present.<br />
He will also be able to tell you if worms are present. To send<br />
the droppings call <strong>Foy's</strong>. Coccidiosis will develop resistant<br />
to any drug, very quickly and it is a good idea to rotate Corid<br />
with another drug such as #2508 Cox/Trimethroprim. Do not<br />
combine with anything else and change the treated water<br />
daily.<br />

Cox/Trimethroprim Powder<br />
by Aviomed<br />
AvioCox Powder combines Sulphadimethoxine,<br />
the safest and most effective Sulphonamide,<br />
with the purest and most potent water<br />
soluble high dose Trimethoprim. Sulphadimethoxine<br />
is one of the newer, safer and more effective Sulphas<br />
that is ideal for the treatment and prevention of Coccidiosis.<br />
At the high dose inclusion of Trimethoprim found in<br />
this product, it has been proven to be very effective against<br />
Salmonella (Paratyphoid) and Ecoli. The combination of<br />
Trimethoprim and sulphas are well known to act synergistically<br />
to increase its spectrum against bacteria. AvioCox is<br />
thus highly suitable for the treatment of other bacteria especially<br />
those found in the intestinal tract. AvioCox is the<br />
ideal product to use when treating "Young Bird Disease".<br />
AvioCox should be used once every eight weeks during<br />
racing or competition flying season as a preventative treatment<br />
against Coccidiosis. Breeding pigeons and babies<br />
should be treated every eight weeks preventively until molting<br />
season starts. Contains Sulphadimethoxine 12.5g Trimethoprim<br />
20g and Dextrose Add 4 teaspoons per gallon for<br />
5 days as a treatment. Makes about 7-8 gallons.<br />

Coxiworm by Aviomed<br />
This product is a world breakthrough and<br />
is the first of its kind to be specifically developed<br />
for pigeons. So far there is no equivalent<br />
available for the pigeons worldwide. It combines<br />
three of the safest and most effective actives available, for<br />
the unique combined treatment of Coccidiosis and worms<br />
in pigeons. Pyrantel and Praziquantel are the two safest and<br />
some of the most effective against the three most common<br />
worms, (Roundworm, Hairworm and Tapeworm).<br />
Toltazuril likewise is the most effective and safe treatment<br />
against Coccidiosis. It also supplies a three week residual<br />
protection against re-infections with Coccidia. This product<br />
is completely safe and does not cause any burn of feathers<br />
so it is ideal for weaning youngsters. 1 Coxiworm tablet per<br />
pigeon. It is highly suggested to dose every 12 weeks if you<br />
have an ongoing issue with worms of Coccidiosis. Dose all<br />
babies after weaning. Rotate with Ekto/Endo+ tablets.<br />

Floor Covering from Versele Laga<br />
Everyone knows that a dry loft reduces the<br />
possibility of diseases and in turn contributes<br />
to good health of your pigeons. This floor covering<br />
includes an anti-coccidiosis agent for natural<br />
protection, as well as worm infections. Heated to<br />
almost 500 degrees to eliminate any harmful ingredients.<br />
My favorite benefit for this product is the fact that it<br />
has cut down the need to scrape the floors every week or<br />
two. It is suggested that you use VL Floor Covering anywhere<br />
from every 3 months or longer. I clean out the old<br />
material and replace it twice a year, more often if your loft is<br />
crowded. 40 pounds per bag.<br />
#1764 Floor Covering from Versele Laga $16.00<br />
#1765 Floor Covering from Versele Laga 5 for 60.00<br />
TIPS:<br />
AMPROLIUM (CORID) should not be used during breeding<br />
season. Foy’s floor covering helps to prevent the<br />
spread of Coccidiosis.<br />
Floor Covering by Natural<br />
If you are like me, with limited time to spend<br />
in the loft, I would suggest you consider<br />
Natural Granulated Floor Covering. Natural Granulated<br />
Floor Covering is a natural product consisting<br />
of lava drawn from the subsoil and has an exceptional<br />
absorbing power: 2.2 lbs. will absorb easily over a quart<br />
of water. When the droppings fall on the granules, they dry very<br />
quickly which stops the contamination cycle by parasites such<br />
as the oocysts of Coccidiosis and of the eggs of ascarids (intestinal<br />
worms). Another benefit of Natural Granulated Floor<br />
Covering is that the granules absorb the smell of the droppings.<br />
You might want to spread some around the nest bowl when<br />
young birds eject liquid droppings. The granulated floor may<br />
stay in the loft for up to a year provided it is raked weekly and<br />
also adds good insulation against the cold. Young birds love to<br />
lay down in this product. Their droppings dry quickly and their<br />
feet are always clean. A 44 lb. bag will cover about 16 square<br />
feet at ½” deep. I have over 300 pigeons and use it in all my<br />
lofts, nest bows and breeding cages.<br />

Moxidectin Gel<br />
Moxidectin Gel was brought<br />
to our attention by a breeder<br />
who has been using it for over<br />
10 years, and highly recommends<br />
it. It is a product that is different<br />
than most other products in the<br />
way it is prepared. Not only does<br />
it eliminate the most common roundworms, it also eliminates<br />
the Gapeworm, Air Sac mites, other mites and most internal<br />
parasites. Lice, which live off feathers, so you would think<br />
that Moxidectin would have no effect, but experience shows that<br />
most lice will also be disposed of. The breeder who suggested<br />
we add Moxidectin to our product line, sent along three pages<br />
of testimonials! The product is similar to a large syringe that has<br />
notches on it. Add four notches to a cup of warm water and put<br />
this in your blender. Blend for 30 seconds add this mixture to a<br />
gallon of drinking water. Give for one day and then repeat the<br />
process after 9 days. It is very Important, as with all roundworm<br />
treatments, to clean the loft after treatment. The Moxidectin does<br />
not kill round worms, as with all round worm treatment, it paralyzes<br />
them and they are expelled thru the droppings. If you do not<br />
clean the loft, especially the floor and perches, the pigeons could<br />
become reinfected by eating worms on the floor and perch. If<br />
your pigeons are exposed to the outsides and go to the ground,<br />
they sometimes pick up roundworms. If worms are an ongoing<br />
problem, this exposure to the ground may be your problem and<br />
you should consider treating every month or at least twice a year,<br />
as the lifespan of the round worm is six months. Moxidetin remains<br />
in a birds system for up to 30 days.<br />

Levamisole/Vermisol<br />
A very efficient wormer for all worms except Tapeworms<br />
which are rare. It is suggested to remove<br />
feed 24 hours before using, and a few hours after to reduce vomiting<br />
which is a common side effect. The powder is 4 teaspoons per<br />
gallon for one day. Repeat in 10-12 days. The powder contains<br />
7.5 grams of Levamisole. Moisten the feed with a little #2534<br />

available (Ivermectin and Praziquantel) for the<br />
treatment of worms in pigeons. Ivermectin<br />
is the most effective treatment for the resistant<br />
Hairworm infestation and one of the few<br />
products that is effective against Lungworm<br />
and Nasal Mites. Ivermectin has the added benefit that it<br />
will also control blood sucking lice such as the red mite.<br />
Praziquantel is well known to be the safest and by far the<br />
most effective products for the treatment of tapeworm in<br />
pigeons. It is not recommended to dose Avio-Ekto/Endo +<br />

contains Ivermectin 0.1 mg and Praziquantel 7.5 mg.<br />

will not cause vomiting or loss of racing performance. Mix 5gr (1<br />
heaped teaspoon) with four teaspoons of water, leave stand for<br />
30 minutes, and mix to make a paste. Add this to about a quarter<br />
pound of grain and feed to the birds. Make a second batch<br />
in the evening to be sure all birds are treated. Treat again in 12<br />
weeks and alternate with Endo/Ekto tablets. Pyrantel pamoate<br />
10%, Praziquantel 2 % and special adherent base 88%.<br />
#2515 Avioworm Powder 100 gr. $17.00<br />
Wormout Gel<br />
Suitable for the worming of non<br />
food producing birds. Wormout<br />
Gel is ideal for crop needle administration<br />
however for ease of use it should be delivered<br />
in water. Kills Thread worms, Tape worms,<br />
Round worms, Caecal worms, and Hook worms in<br />
caged and aviary birds and pigeons. Using a small<br />
container (preferably with a lid that can be screwed<br />
on) measure 1 1/2 teaspoons of water and add to<br />
your container. Prime the wormout gel pump and add 1 ml/cc<br />
of the gel to 1 1/2 teaspoons of water. Screw your lid on and<br />
shake it for 5-10 seconds to break up the gel. The dose of the<br />
diluted wormout gel mixture is 0.5 (1/2) ml/cc per 100 grams<br />
body weight via crop needle. Remember that the crop needle<br />
will have an air space in it which may effect the dose that is<br />
actually delivered. For instance, a 12 gauge crop needle has<br />
an empty space about 0.45 ml/cc. You need to allow for the air<br />
space in whatever needle you are using. You need to know the<br />
weight of your birds, any good "bird book" will give the average<br />
weight of various species. The active constituents are Praziquantel<br />
20 g/L and Oxfendazole 20 g/L for the treatment of<br />
threadworms (capillaria). The 100 ml/cc and the 250 ml/cc sizes<br />
deliver 1 ml/cc for each pump. All aviary birds add 2 ml/cc to<br />
160 ml/cc (2 pumps to 1 1/3 cup) of drinking water for 2 days.<br />
Aviaries should be treated at least 4 times a year. 160 ml/cc is<br />
1/6 of a gallon. Remember to Mix 1 tsp in a container with water<br />
and shake up before adding the drinking water. It is what I use.<br />

NPA LEGACY FUND<br />
As a pigeon fancier for over 65 years, and owner of a pigeon business for over 25 years, I have<br />
witnessed the slow decline of the hobby. There a number of reasons for this decline, and most can<br />
figure out the reasons. Eleven years ago, some far sighted National Pigeon Fanciers, decided to<br />
look at the future a create a vehicle to fund projects that would help the great hobby of keeping<br />
pigeons. The NPA Legacy Fund Trust was created and started to accept contributions. The fund<br />
raising started out slowly, people had to get used to the idea and many waited to be sure the idea<br />
worked and would grow. Although the National Pigeon Association Legacy Fund Trust is an arm of the National Pigeon Association, it is meant to benefit or help the<br />
entire pigeon hobby. The Trust accepts contributions from all those who have an interest in supporting the great hobby. We have received contributions from family<br />
members of pigeon fanciers, both in honor of or in memorial. We have received contributions from non NPA members who enjoy their pigeons and want to help the<br />
hobby. Many clubs have sent in contributions and some of these clubs do or plan to, make a contribution every year. All contributions are cumulative, meaning every<br />
time you contribute, your contributions accumulate and you are getting closer to the next contribution level. Contributions, when they reach $100.00 or more, are<br />
recognized in the National Pigeon Association Quarterly, twice a year. The contribution will also be listed on the NPA website.<br />
Gold Band Level The first level, which is $100.00 which is needed to be listed forever in the Quarterly and the web site. A certificate is sent to the contributor in case<br />
of a memorial or the to the person honored.<br />
Ruby Band Level<br />
Platinum Band Level<br />
The second level which is the $500.00 level, and a Ruby Certificate, in a frame, is awarded.<br />
The third level is reached when contributions reach the $1000.00 level. Another appreciative framed certificate is sent.<br />
Other levels are in place, they are;<br />
Diamond $5000.00 Presidents $10,000.00 Vision $50,000.00<br />
Some of our members have included the Trust in their wills, and this is a great way of their recognizing the need and doing what they can to continue this great hobby.<br />
One such person has made us aware of a future contribution of $15,000, and others have also added the Trust to their will. If you are person who would consider<br />
adding the Trust to your will, please inform us of this future contribution.<br />
Listed below are all of the contributors, to date. Another way to help is to consider donating pigeon related items or pigeons. The Trust plans on having an auction in<br />
the future and each item sold at this auction, will be recognized and if the contribution garners $100.00 or more, the appropriate level will be listed as if it were a cash<br />
contribution. If the auctioned items do not reach the $100.00 dollar level or for that matter is close to any level, the contributor may add to the amount. For instance,<br />
your contribution reaches $75.00, if you send in a contribution of $25.00 and you will have attained the Gold Band Level.<br />
Contributions are to made out to NPA LFT and mailed to Jerry Gagne, Chairman LFT, 3170 Bennett’s Run Rd., Beaver Falls, Pa. 15010 724-359-5355

ORDERS: 1-877-355-7727 • FOYSPETSUPPLIES.COM<br />
Pigeon Nutri-Drops<br />
Adeno virus, PMV and Circovirus are different strains<br />
of the same virus. Circovirus is an infectious transmittable<br />
disease that spreads form one bird to another. It is<br />
assumed to be spread though physical contact as well as<br />
on the dust in the loft, therefore, making it airborne. Once<br />
in the loft every pigeon will be exposed to the virus and the<br />
majority will become infected. Birds that do become sick<br />
will almost invariably die. The ones that do not become sick<br />
eventually clear the virus from their system. We do not know<br />
how long this takes but if is thought the majority will clear in<br />
4-6 months. However, there is the possibility that some birds<br />
will fail to clear the virus and remain as persistent carriers.<br />
WHILE THE VIRUS IS ACTIVE IT INTERFERES WITH<br />
THE FUNCTIONING OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM. KILL-<br />
ING OF BIRDS WILL NOT ELIMINATE THE VIRUS BE-<br />
CAUSE THE MAJORITY OF INFECTED BIRDS SHOW<br />
NO SYMPTOMS. Viruses attack in two waves. 90% of<br />
birds die in the second wave because an impaired immune<br />
system has increased their vulnerability to secondary disease.<br />
It is essential that birds develop a good immunity to<br />
the second wave to avoid death. Remember that all birds<br />
need a strong immune system to fight off infections and<br />
disease. Pigeons Nutri-Drops contain high energy vitamins,<br />
amino acids and minerals to boost the immune system.<br />
Backed by 20 years of research, field trials and two U.S.<br />
patents and Pigeon Nutri-Drops owns the first patent ever<br />
for “speed of nutrient availability. Mike Owens, Boxes for<br />
Birds writes “ My birds were dying. My birds tested positive<br />
for PMV/Circovirus. I lost 900 birds & lost all hope. I GAVE<br />
THE BIRDS Pigeon Nutri-Drops and in a very short period<br />
of time, my birds were perky. I am so delighted with Nutri-<br />
Drops that I have ordered two cases to give to the rest of<br />
my birds. Thank you to Bovidr for saving my birds”. Nutri<br />
Drops may be combined with any antibiotic, it actually<br />
makes the antibiotic even more effective. Do not combine<br />
with any canker or wormer medicine of any kind, this<br />
combination could be fatal to a pigeon. Directions- Add up<br />
to 1 teaspoon of Nutri-Drops to a gallon of drinking water. If<br />
the weather is very hot, reduce to about ½ teaspoon. Use for<br />
as long as needed or as long as you want to add antibiotic.<br />
Change the water daily.<br />

Adeno-Zap<br />
A natural blend designed to quicken the recovery of<br />
Adeno virus, as no antibiotic will treat the disease.<br />
Adeno-Zap may greatly shorten the side effects. You have<br />
heard of Adeno Virus or experienced its devastating effects.<br />
Symptoms may include loose watery, yellow diarrhea,<br />
vomiting up feed and sudden death. The spread of the virus<br />
may start in one age group and then spread to birds of all<br />
ages. Some birds in the same loft may show no symptoms<br />
at all and are not sick. When you have a bird(s) that you<br />
suspect has the Adeno-Virus, you must segregate the birds,<br />
preferably in another building or cage if possible. Add one<br />
teaspoon to a gallon of water, after they have been fed. Treat<br />
the sick birds until symptoms are gone. You should also treat<br />
the entire flock for three consecutive days and then repeat<br />
giving it to the whole flock in one week for three consecutive<br />
days. If symptoms persist, repeat the following week.<br />
Use distilled water, especially for the sick birds. A blend<br />
of natural herbs. KEEP REFRIGERATED AND MAKE A<br />
FRESH BATCH EVERY DAY. Once they have the Adeno<br />
Virus, they will not get it again and they are not carriers.<br />

Improver<br />
A unique patented product (natural organic acids)<br />
designed to improve the flying or show performance<br />
and to protect the pigeon against bacterial diseases such<br />
as: Paratyphoid, Salmonella, E. Coli, and others. At the<br />
same time it brings the birds into top condition day after day!<br />
The body of the bird will look much better (feathers) and<br />
stronger (before, during, and after performance) together<br />
with an improvement of orientation to direction in a race.<br />
Improver helps with Adenovirus resistance, reduces<br />
drastically the sickness, fungal, and bacteria all year long.<br />
This is a super concentrated product and you merely add<br />
1/2 teaspoon to a gallon of water 2-3 days a week every<br />
week, year round if desired or as often as you decide for your<br />
flock. May be mixed with vitamins, electrolytes and probiotics.<br />
Will make approx. 80 gallons.<br />
#2567 Improver 125 gr. $36.00<br />
Antifungal<br />
A great additive to Improver designed to<br />
solve the problems of fungal. This product<br />
is meant to be used in combination with<br />
Improver, not by itself. Kills the high concentration<br />
of the fungal "Candida Albican". In combination<br />
with Improver it kills bad bacteria as Salmonella, E.<br />
Coli, and in addition of fungal also inhibits the spreading of<br />
Canker and other diseases through drinking water. It replaces<br />
antibiotic damage, therefore it stops the destruction of the<br />
natural micro flora in the birds that was generally caused by<br />
antibiotics. Simply add 1 spoon to a gallon 2 times a week<br />
(spoon included). The effects are visible in less than a week.<br />
One container will take care of 100 pigeons per day for a<br />
period of six months. Will make approximately 60 gallons.<br />

rate of 3 teaspoons to 2 lbs. Experts and fanciers<br />
from around the world suggest that Elderberry Juice<br />
will effectively combat the ADENO VIRUS. Reported<br />
studies suggest the duration of RESPIRATORY<br />
issues to be reduced by several days. Other studies<br />
have shown the Elderberry to be an effective<br />
fighter of H5N1 bird flu. Refrigerate after opening.<br />

TIP:<br />
BEFORE VACCINATING it is important to treat for 10<br />
days against paratyphoid in order to get rid of any lurking<br />
paratyphoid that may be in the bird. Furazolidon,<br />
Cox/Trimethroprim and Typhoid Cure would be good<br />
choices. After the ten days, treat with a probiotic for<br />
2-3 days followed by the vaccinations. Using immune<br />
boosters before and after vaccination significantly raises<br />
the level of protection that the vaccine provides.<br />

KM-PMV Vaccine<br />
Pigeon Paramyxovirus is endemic in the feral pigeon<br />
population, and hence can be dragged in by any flying<br />
birds that might mix with feral (think young bird races). It can also<br />
be carried and intermittently shed by apparently healthy adult pigeons,<br />
especially in stressful situations such as races, shows,<br />
mount ... Because PMV is so devastating and ubiquitous, it is<br />
extremely important to protect (vaccinate) your birds against this<br />
disease. The New KM-PMV Vaccine is: Proven effective against<br />
Pigeon Paramyxo disease. Extensively tested in both Lab and<br />
Field for both effectiveness and also for safety. Developed from<br />
the actual field virus isolated from a pigeon that was sick and<br />
died from PMV disease. Developed by successful pigeon fanciers/veterinarians,<br />
Drs. John Kazmierczak and Paul Miller; manufactured<br />
by ARKO, a successful, USDA licensed vaccine Lab.<br />
Technical support available from Dr. Kazmierczak at (609) 771-<br />
0995 (West Trenton Animal Hospital). Same smooth, gentle adjuvant<br />
as KM-1 vaccine: eliminates: vaccine reaction, down time,<br />
losses USDA incensed: legal to sell, possess ship and use. For<br />
use in all types of pigeons: racing showing, meat, pet, flying, research<br />
... Shipped with an ice pack via 2ND DAY AIR.<br />
#501 KM-PMV Vaccine 100 dose $139.00<br />
KM-1 Paratyphoid Vaccine<br />
Made available in 2013, after years of development and<br />
testing. Dr. John Kazmierczak and Dr Paul Miller, both<br />
lifelong racing pigeon fanciers, developed this vaccine. Vaccinated<br />
birds were challenged in tests and DID NOT get Paratyphoid,<br />
unvaccinated birds developed Paratyphoid after challenged. Earlier<br />
vaccines that were available had a tendency to make birds<br />
sick and occasionally cause death. This vaccine has shown<br />
minimal side effects and may be given to birds as young as<br />
six weeks. KM-1 contains strains from racing pigeons, show<br />
pigeons and meat pigeons, these are current strains that previous<br />
vaccines did not protect against. Each bottle will treat 100<br />
birds at the rate of 1/4 cc. Initially the birds are vaccinated twice,<br />
3 weeks apart and then once every six months. Paratyphoid<br />
is almost an epidemic in North America, and the only way to<br />
prevent Paratyphoid is with a long term approach of vaccination.<br />
Symptoms of Paratyphoid may include twisted neck, lack of coordination,<br />
limp, dropped wing, eggs not hatching, young dying<br />
in the shell or at weaning age, sudden death and in some cases<br />
none of these symptoms but still have the disease. KM-1 is a<br />
killed bacterium. You may vaccinate against Paratyphoid<br />
using KM-1 Vaccine while using Lasota in the drinking water,<br />
in fact it is a good idea. The KM-1 will stimulate the immune<br />
system and activate the immune system which in turn will<br />
make the Lasota more effective. Shipped with an ice pack via<br />

to pigeon breeders what Paramyxovirus<br />
(PMV) is, and to stress the need to vaccinate the<br />
birds and to take hygienic precautions. The pigeonbreeder<br />
will then understand that if there is an illness<br />
in one of the lofts, washing hands, changing shoes<br />
and overalls before going from loft to loft may prevent a catastrophe.<br />

Lasota PMV Strain Vaccine<br />
For years many pigeon fanciers have used the Lasota<br />
vaccine, rather than the PMV-1 Vaccine, and now<br />
we all have to use Lasota. The Lasota is not an injectable.<br />
I recently spoke to a very well know veterinarian about using<br />
the Lasota. He uses it and is quite satisfied with its ability to<br />
prevent PMV-1. The veterinarian explained in detail how he<br />
uses it, and Foy’s is quite pleased to pass on this information.<br />
Once you open the bottle, you must use it all or dispose<br />
of what you do not use. THE LASOTA MUST BE KEPT<br />
COLD, NOT FROZEN. Keep it in the refrigerator until you are<br />
ready to use it. The first way to use it is in the drinking water,<br />
but this is not recommended because it may not do the job, as<br />
it is assuming the pigeon drinks enough of the water, and this<br />
is not always the case. If you have a very large flock, you may<br />
have to go this route, but if you have some valuable or some<br />
very special pigeons, it is suggest you use the second method<br />
on at least those. When using the vaccine in the drinking water,<br />
you should first do the following: Do not feed them the night<br />
before, or if you use a cafeteria feeder, remove it. The<br />
next morning, place the feed before them and they will<br />
eat rapidly. 3-4 hours later put a gallon of distilled water,<br />
with the vaccine added, in front of them. You want them<br />
to be very thirsty so they will drink. The vaccine loses<br />
its potency after just 3-4 hours, which is why you want<br />
them to drink right away. The second method requires you<br />
to handle each bird. Open the Lasota bottle and fill with distilled<br />
water. Shake the bottle to dissolve the vaccine. Add this to a<br />
2 ounce dropper bottle and fill the remainder of the bottle with<br />
water. Using the eye dropper (included), place one drop directly<br />
into the eye and then one directly into nose hole. When giving<br />
the drops in the nostril, hold a finger over the opposite nostril to<br />
close it and repeat when you do the other nostril. By doing this,<br />
the drop will be sucked right into the nostril. It is recommended<br />
that you start with the Lasota two months before the race or<br />
show season. Whether you put it in the drinking water, or use<br />
a dropper, the treatment is for one day per month and repeated<br />
all thru race or show season. The idea is to treat during the<br />
period pigeons are mixed with other people’s pigeons. The Vet<br />
suggest 1 bottle to a gallon of drinking water but no more than<br />
one bottle to 2 gallons. You may vaccinate against Paratyphoid<br />
using KM-1 Vaccine while using Lasota in the drinking water,<br />
in fact it is a good idea. The KM-1 will stimulate the immune<br />
system and activate the immune system which in turn will make<br />
the Lasota more effective.<br />

Cox/Trimethroprim Powder<br />
by Aviomed<br />
AvioCox Powder combines<br />
Sulphadimethoxine, the safest and most effective<br />
Sulphonamide, with the purest and most potent<br />
water soluble high dose Trimethoprim. Sulphadimethoxine<br />
is one of the newer, safer and more effective Sulphas<br />
that is ideal for the treatment and prevention of Coccidiosis.<br />
At the high dose inclusion of Trimethoprim found in this product,<br />
it has been proven to be very effective against Salmonella<br />
(Paratyphoid) and Ecoli. The combination of Trimethoprim<br />
and sulphas are well known to act synergistically to increase its<br />
spectrum against bacteria. AvioCox is thus highly suitable for<br />
the treatment of other bacteria especially those found in the respiratory<br />
system. AvioCox is the ideal product to use when<br />
treating "Young Bird Disease". AvioCox should be used once<br />
every eight weeks during racing or competition flying season<br />
as a preventative treatment against Coccidiosis. Breeding pigeons<br />
and babies should be treated every eight weeks preventively<br />
until molting season starts. Contains Sulphadimethoxine<br />

Mycoban is currently by far the safest and most<br />
effective treatment for Mycoplasmosis and E.<br />
Coli. Mycoban contains a special combination of the<br />
most effective antibiotics specifically developed for the<br />
treatment of resistant strains of Mycoplasma. It is combined with<br />
specific vitamins that stimulate the immune system and improve<br />
performance. Mycoban combines with #2522 Bromhexine,<br />
for amazing results. Treat all pigeons for 7 days continuously 8<br />
weeks before racing, flying or show season. If respiratory issues<br />
have been an on going problem, we suggest eight weekly<br />
treatments of 3 consecutive days. Alternate with #2524 Spiradox<br />
each week, 2 heaped scoops of Mycoban (scoop included) per<br />
gallon of water. Follow with a probiotic. Change water daily.<br />

recommended treatments<br />
of Paratyphoid by Veterinarians. Also used<br />

Apple Cider Vinegar<br />
The addition of Apple Cider Vinegar<br />
to the water will lower the pH of the<br />
water, thus increasing the acidity.<br />
Research has shown that increased acidity from Apple<br />
Cider Vinegar has positive effects of feed consumption<br />
and has increased bird growth and performance.<br />
Apple Cider Vinegar has proven to be inhospitable, to<br />
Paratyphoid/Salmonella and E. Coli. When something goes<br />
wrong in the throat, Apple Cider will help. It is a great product<br />
to use during the breeding season. Our Apple Cider Vinegar<br />
may be mixed with vitamins, electrolytes or probiotics. Use<br />
as often as you chose, one tablespoon per gallon of drinking water.<br />
Use a minimum of twice a week. On a personal note, we<br />
always seem to have bug problem at the house. (small bugs that<br />
fly around and are a pest). We solved the problem by placing a<br />
small bowl of Apple Cider Vinegar in the kitchen, near the sink and<br />
we no longer have the problem.<br />

Muscle & Wing Powder by Aviomed<br />
Muscle and Wing Disease is a bacterial disease<br />
that under certain specific conditions<br />
starts over growing that initially only causes<br />
inflammation in the breast muscles. Symptoms<br />
are blue discoloration and swelling of<br />
the breast muscles. Pigeons become unwilling<br />
to train as a result of inflammation<br />
of the breathing muscles. Pigeons often sit<br />
with their beaks hanging open causing fanciers to confuse<br />
it with respiratory disease. High dose treatment with<br />
Amoxicillin trihydrate is the treatment of choice. Use for 7<br />
days, may be used effectively mid racing season when pigeons<br />
are starting to lose form. Also treats Enteritis, Diarrhea,<br />
E.Coli and Paratyphoid. 40% Ultra Pure Amoxicillin<br />
trihydrate, Neomycin Sulfate, immune stimulants and<br />
herbals. Use over feed as per directions. Mix 5g (1 heaped<br />
spoon included) with 50ml of clean water. Mix thoroughly<br />
until no lumps remain. It will form a gel. Mix gel with<br />
1kg of pigeon food, leave to dry and feed then. Treat for<br />
7 consecutive days, morning & evening. CRITICALLY ILL<br />
PIGEONS THAT ARE NOT EATING; mix the Gel as directed<br />
above. Mix 50ml of the gel as above. Keep this in<br />
the fridge (may be kept for 7 days). Dose each bird with 1 ml<br />
directly in to crop (1/4 TEASPOON) using a syringe 2 x per<br />
day for 7 days or until pigeon is eating again. The 200 ml<br />
container is enough to treat 120 pigeons for 7 days.<br />

Young Bird Disease<br />
YBD is a frustrating disease that affects<br />
young pigeons between the age<br />
of 4 weeks and one year. YBD is a multifactorial<br />
disease that is seen clinically when pigeons<br />
contract Circovirus and they are stressed and/<br />
or suffer from other underlying diseases such as Paramyxovirus,<br />
Trichomoniasis, Coccidiosis and Salmonella<br />
amongst others. Pigeons initially show symptoms of<br />
listlessness and loss of appetite, this is soon followed by<br />
excessive drinking of water and Vomiting as well as<br />
a bad smelling yellow to green diarrhea. Pigeons lose<br />
weight rapidly and about 10 – 20 % of untreated pigeons<br />
die. If pigeons are not treated effectively they may become<br />
severely stunted and never recover fully to become competitive<br />
during the racing season. An incredible new combination<br />
product that contains the two safest and most effective<br />
antibiotics against the secondary bacteria found in YBD<br />
(Amoxicillin and Colistin) combined with four well researched<br />
and proven natural immune stimulants has been hailed as a<br />
world breakthrough in the treatment of this dreaded disease.<br />
Dr. Botha’s YBD-Cure is based on years of painstaking personal<br />
research combined with knowledge gained from the<br />
latest scientific articles printed in Veterinary journals. The<br />
unique and effective combination of Capsicum oleoresin<br />
(Capsicum), Turmeric oleoresin (Curcumin), Olea europaea<br />
( Oleuropein) and Beta Glucan as anti-viral and immune<br />
stimulating elements with the high dose antibiotics make<br />
this product far superior to any other YBD products available.<br />
Add 1 heaped teaspoon to 50ml ( 1 3/4 oz.) of water.<br />
Mix thoroughly until no lumps remain, it will form a gel. Mix<br />
the gel with 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of feed leave to dry and feed the<br />
birds. Treat for 7 days consecutive, morning and evening<br />
The container is enough for 60 birds for 7 days.<br />

E. Coli, and in addition of fungal also inhibits the spreading of<br />

Bromhexine Powder by Aviomed<br />
Bromhexine contains the purest and<br />
most potent source of Bromhexine-<br />
Hcl. Bromhexine stimulates the area responsible<br />
for clearing the respiratory system of<br />
mucus, bacteria and dust. It also stimulates<br />
excretion of mucus that is less thick and is excreted more<br />
easily. When Bromhexine is combined with respiratory antibiotics<br />
such as Mycoban (#2521) and Doxycycline (#2548) it<br />
increases the levels of antibiotics in the lung tissue. Bromhexine<br />
is of tremendous aid in the treatment of respiratory<br />
disease in pigeons. Bromhexine may be combined with<br />
any antibiotic used in the treatment of respiratory disease<br />
for the first four days of treatment. Contains ultra<br />
pure, highly potent Bromhexine HCL 1% m/m. (Does not<br />
contain banned stimulants or doping agents.) Warning! May<br />
only be used in the treatment of sick pigeons and should<br />
be withdrawn 72 hours before a race, training flight or competitive<br />
fly. Never combine with Furazolidone or Furaltadone!<br />

antibiotic treatment. May safely be combined with<br />
all respiratory antibiotics.<br />

Coccidiosis is probably the most common pigeon health<br />
problem and All In One contains Amprolium and is listed as<br />
both a treatment and a preventative for Coccidiosis. Canker<br />
(Trichomoniasis) another common pigeon health issue<br />
is both preventable and treatable. All In One contains the<br />
safe drug, Ronidazole, an effective drug. The third most<br />
common health problem is worms, and All In One contains<br />
Levamisole which treats for most worms with the exception<br />
of Tape worms. Tylan is the drug of choice for respiratory<br />
and you’ll find it in All In One. The fifth ingredient includes<br />
probiotics to rebuild gut bacteria and relieve stress.<br />

pigeon health and when we ask the customer what the<br />
symptoms are, we usually get one or multiple replies such<br />
as fluffed up like they are cold, lethargic, poor performance,<br />
loss of weight, diarrhea, etc. We get as much information<br />
from the customer and we usually suggest Tony’s Treasure<br />
Tablets. Tony’s Treasure works well when treating one eyed<br />
colds, canker, respiratory issues, diarrhea, weight loss, and<br />
more. When people ask what they should keep on hand,<br />
one of the suggestions is Tony’s Treasure Tablets.<br />

Tylan 200 Injectable<br />
Highly recommended by Vets to<br />
treat many forms of respiratory<br />
problems in Pigeons. If your Pigeons<br />
are of the flying variety and they are not<br />
performing as expected, you may have<br />
a respiratory issue. Mycoplasma Gallisepticum,<br />
a breathing problem, may be<br />
found in as many as 30% of the racing<br />
pigeon lofts. Overcrowding of young birds may bring this<br />
problem. Sometimes the Pigeons show no symptoms and<br />
yet have respiratory problems. Tylan may also be an aid in<br />
treating one-eye colds. 1/2 cc injection under loose skin<br />
behind neck. Dosed for pigeons only.<br />

Spiradox by Aviomed<br />
Spiradox is currently by far the<br />
safest and most effective treatment<br />
for Orniplasmosis (combined<br />
infection and Mycoplasmosis). The<br />
two most common respiratory problems. The combination<br />
of antibiotics acts together optimally. It has the added<br />
advantage of not causing a loss of performance after treatment.<br />
The tablet is small and easy to dose sugar coated for<br />
individual treatment whereas the powder is recommended<br />
for larger lofts that are treating larger numbers of pigeons.<br />
Powder - Treat pigeons for 7 days continuously, at least 8<br />
weeks before the racing season. Eight weekly preventative<br />
treatments, for 3 days, during the season are advised.<br />
It is strongly advised to alternate treatment with Mycoban<br />
(#2521). Treat breeding pigeons for 7 days, at least 8 weeks<br />
prior the start of the breeding season. Always combine with<br />
Avio-Bromhexine (#2522) for the first 4 days of treatment.<br />
Tablet - Treat ill pigeons continuously with 1 tablet per day<br />
for 7 days. Contains Doxycycline HCL, Spiramycin and<br />
Dextrose. The powder is used at the rate of 4 teaspoons<br />

TIP:<br />
E-Coli can attack the joints, making pigeons display exactly<br />
the same symptoms as Paratyphoid/Salmonella<br />
(Swollen Joints). Most people would first assume that<br />
if their birds had lameness, dropped wing or wings, but<br />
no swollen joints, can’t fly, infertility babies dying in the<br />
nest or not hatching, the birds had Paratyphoid as most<br />
would. You would be wrong. These symptoms would<br />
be E-Coli.<br />
1 Drop 1 Eye 1 Time by Dr. Pigeon<br />
When I spoke to Dr. Pigeon about<br />
this product, he warned me that a<br />
customer would only buy it once, because it lasted so<br />
long. If the bird has a one eye cold, this will get rid of<br />
it. One drop, in 1 eye, 1 time and it’s gone. Makes over<br />
900 drops. One fluid ounce dropper bottle.<br />

Forma Soothing Eye Drops by Versele-Laga<br />
Your pigeons have a very hard time during<br />
competition and while they are in the<br />
basket. Fighting may cause injuries and the poor<br />
ventilation in the basket leaves much to be desired.<br />
Keeping this in mind, it is almost impossible to avoid<br />
respiratory problems. The Forma Eye Drops are a way for<br />
checking the respiratory tract. The eye drops are meant to<br />
run away from the tear duct after application. The blue color<br />
should then be visible in the throat. Very easy to use. If the<br />
drops do not appear immediately in the throat, treat for respiratory<br />
issues. One drop in the nostril and in each eye the day<br />
of basketing for a competition, and the day they return from a<br />
race or day after a competition. If your pigeon has an eye problem,<br />
one drop in morning and one in the evening, into the eye.<br />

Linca-Specta 20% Powder<br />
Mycoplasmosis occurs around the world and<br />
infects not only pigeons, but other species of<br />
birds. Pigeons of all ages may contract this infection.<br />
In all cases conditions exist which lower the immune<br />
system, and this lowered immunity allows the outbreak of Mycoplasmosis.<br />
Pigeons may be a carrier and show no symptoms.<br />
The first symptoms show themselves as a grey deposit of nasal<br />
discharge that appear as a slimy thread from the lower beak to<br />
the upper beak when the mouth is open. Wheezing and a rattle<br />
may be heard at night. As an aid in the prevention and treatment<br />
of resistant Mycoplasmosis (slime in the throat) and bacterial<br />
diseases, add 1 1/2 tablespoons to a gallon of clean drinking<br />
water daily for 5-7 days continuously. May be combined with<br />
Bromhexine. Follow with a Probiotic.<br />

Broncho Plus Liquid<br />
Respiratory problems are one of the most<br />
widespread problems in pigeon racing. Due<br />
to warm and humid conditions under transport,<br />
most pigeons are exposed to respiratory diseases<br />
during the racing season. These problems often<br />
come along with large amounts of mucus whereby the pigeons<br />
show reduced oxygen intake with lesser available energy. The<br />
risk for bacterial grown on the mucus membranes is increased<br />
followed by secondary infections. The results are reduced performance<br />
in races and increased diseases under transport and<br />
in the loft. Features: Against respiratory diseases in the racing<br />
season decrease the amount of excessive mucus in the respiratory<br />
tract. Stimulates the natural defense of the organism<br />
Supports in case of heat stress Natural - no side-effects and<br />
resistance. Feed-grade quality ingredients and GMP+ certified<br />
Broncho Plus is a well-balanced formulation based on different<br />
natural essential oils based on peppermint, eucalyptus oil, and<br />
menthol. Helps the pigeons to decrease the amount of excessive<br />
mucus in the respiratory tract. Instructions for use: In racing<br />
season (to avoid outbreak): 2ml per liter of drinking water for 2-3<br />
days every 3 weeks. If the weather is hot: 1-2 days before basking<br />
and after a race may be beneficial. Treatment: 2ml per liter of<br />
drinking water for 6-7 days until symptoms disappear.<br />

Re-Coop Plus Liquid<br />
One never knows what a race bird or for<br />
that matter, what any flying bird has been<br />
up to while it is away from the loft or during transportation<br />

#7034 Rejuvenation/Probiotic 1 lb. $14.00<br />
TIP:<br />
A lot of calcium is needed for the proper development<br />
of eggshells muscles. Calcium deficiency causes abnormal<br />
egg shells and/or weakness of the oviduct, the result<br />
may be the inability to pass the eggs. If you have frequent<br />
problems with eggs not being passed, there may<br />
be something wrong with your pigeon’s diet. Before and<br />
during the breeding season, pigeons need a continuous<br />
supply of calcium. After the season make sure your hens<br />
are getting a lot of calcium.<br />

Adeno-Zap<br />
A natural blend designed to quicken the recovery<br />
of Adeno, a virus, as no antibiotic will treat<br />
the disease. Adeno-Zap may greatly shorten the side<br />
effects. You have heard of Adeno Virus or, god forbid,<br />
experienced its devastating effects. Symptoms may<br />
include loose watery, yellow diarrhea, vomiting up<br />
feed and sudden death. Sudden death is the most<br />
common symptom. The spread of the virus may start in<br />
one age group and then spread to birds of all ages. Some birds<br />
in the same loft may show no symptoms at all and are not sick.<br />
Don’t wait until you need it, order Adeno-Zap now, and be ready.<br />
Please keep it in mind that Adeno Zap is not an antibiotic, it is<br />
a natural product to quicken the recovery from the Adeno-Virus<br />
and to eliminate the side effects, such as poor food digestion,<br />
vomiting feed and yellow loose stinky droppings. When you have<br />
a bird or birds that you suspect has the Adeno-Virus, based on<br />
the symptoms described, you must segregate the birds, preferably<br />
in another building or cage if possible. Add one teaspoon<br />
to a gallon of water, after they have been fed. Treat the sick birds<br />
until symptoms are gone. You should also treat the entire flock<br />
for three consecutive days and then repeat giving it to the whole<br />
flock in one week for three days consecutive days. If symptoms<br />
persist, repeat the following week. Use distilled water, especially<br />
for the sick birds. The dosage is one teaspoon per gallon of<br />
water. A blend of natural herbs. KEEP REFRIGERATED AND<br />
MAKE A FRESH BATCH EVERY DAY.<br />

Adeno S Liquid<br />
AdenoS is not a treatment for the Adeno<br />
Virus, as you may know, there is no treatment<br />
for a virus. However, the combination of the<br />
natural organic acids and vitamins in Adeno S,<br />
seems to reduce the bloom of E. coli when the pigeons<br />
are exposed to the Adeno virus, and thereby<br />
taking the burden from the young birds. After 1-2<br />
weeks the young birds survive and develop an immunity to the<br />
virus. We also found that it was beneficial to mix AdenoS with<br />
an electrolyte. Directions are to mix 4 teaspoons to a gallon of<br />
drinking water, change daily. For young birds showing signs of<br />
the Adeno virus, such as vomiting and a reluctance to fly.<br />
Four teaspoons to a gallon of drinking water until the symptoms<br />
are gone. Preferably combined with an electrolyte such as #529<br />

Pigeon Nutri-Drops<br />
Adeno virus, PMV and Circovirus are different<br />
strains of the same virus. Circovirus<br />
is an infectious transmittable disease that spreads<br />
form one bird to another. It is assumed to be<br />
spread though physical contact as well as on the<br />
dust in the loft, therefore, making it airborne. Once<br />
in the loft every pigeon will be exposed to the virus<br />
and the majority will become infected. Birds that do become<br />
sick will almost invariably die. The ones that do not become<br />
sick eventually clear the virus from their system. We do not<br />
know how long this takes but if is thought the majority will<br />
clear in 4-6 months. However, there is the possibility that<br />
some birds will fail to clear the virus and remain as persistent<br />
carriers. Viruses attack in two waves. 90% of birds die<br />
in the second wave because an impaired immune system<br />
has increased their vulnerability to secondary disease. It is<br />
essential that birds develop a good immunity to the second<br />
wave to avoid death. Remember that all birds need a strong<br />
immune system to fight off infections and disease. Pigeons<br />
Nutri-Drops contain high energy vitamins, amino acids and<br />
minerals to boost the immune system. Backed by 20 years<br />
of research, field trials and two U.S. patents and Pigeon<br />
Nutri-Drops owns the first patent ever for “speed of nutrient<br />
availability. Nutri Drops may be combined with any<br />
antibiotic, it actually makes the antibiotic even more<br />
effective. Do not combine with any canker or wormer medicine<br />
of any kind, this combination could be fatal to a pigeon.<br />
Directions- Add up to 1 teaspoon of Nutri-Drops to a gallon<br />
of drinking water. If the weather is very hot, reduce to about<br />
½ teaspoon. Use for as long as needed or as long as you<br />
want to add antibiotic. Change the water daily.<br />

Show Water (By Dr. Pigeon)<br />
Nothing is more important than the<br />
quality of the birds drinking water.<br />
In response to the many calls about their birds getting<br />
sick after a show, <strong>Foy's</strong> formulated a product<br />
to address the problem. This is a NATURAL product<br />
meant to help prevent viral and bacterial infections,<br />
while the birds are in a show hall. Add to the drinking<br />
water 2-3 days before a show, during the show<br />
and 2-3 days after the show. They birds should not<br />
be watered, at the show by anyone but you, and you would use<br />
the water with Show Water added. HEALTHY SHOW WATER<br />
should be the only drinking water that the birds have access to<br />
and should be changed every day. Contents include Eyebright<br />
(respiratory), Plantain (Antibacterial), Marshmallow (respiratory<br />
and digestion), Echinacea (immune system boost), Thyme<br />
(immune system booster and disinfects), Chamomile (stress),<br />
Licorice (immune system, stress), Apple Cider Vinegar, Detox<br />
(increases acidity of water to reduce disease possibilities). The<br />
directions are 3 ml/cc to the 2 or 3 ounce shoe cage cup. Before<br />
and after the show, you should add 2 ½ tablespoons to a gallon<br />
and bring to the show to give to your birds. We include a syringe<br />
to measure the 3 ml/cc used in the show cups. Bring your own<br />
water and use at the shows. You may want to order a few extra<br />
syringes, perhaps the #354 35 cc or the #357 60 ml. The normal<br />
show cup used on the show cages is 2 oz. but that may vary.<br />
We include a 3cc syringe with every bottle of HEALTHY SHOW<br />
WATER, so it is very easy to use at the show. Using a syringe,<br />
add to each show cup, change every day. We suggest you use<br />
a show cup filled with Healthy Show Water and fill your syringe<br />
from this cup.<br />

Laga<br />
Parasites, mites and so<br />
on are a real problem<br />
with any pigeon loft. They damage<br />
feathers and put your pigeons<br />
under stress. Pigeons that cannot relax<br />
in their loft are never going to be<br />
in the best of condition, and for this<br />
reason it is very important to treat<br />
pigeons and their accommodations<br />
such as the loft, baskets and aviaries. The Ideal Orange<br />
Bath Salts in the bathwater gives the pigeons soft<br />
feathers and helps maintain the strength and waterresistant<br />
function of the feathers. One tablespoon<br />
to 2 ½ gallons of bath water and remove after they are<br />
done bathing. In the winter, one bath a week, flying season<br />
one or two times a week. Give cold bath water in the<br />
morning and warm bath water after a race or competing.<br />

Belgium White<br />
A really pleasant smell will be noticed as soon as you<br />
sprinkle a bit of Belgium White. Scrape the floor clean,<br />
sweep it and then apply a cup at a time on the floor. Brush it<br />
around using a broom and get it in the cracks and corners. It is<br />
very absorbent and another use would be on the bottom of your<br />
nest boxes. Over time, the floor will become white from<br />
continued use. There are times when damp weather or stress<br />
creates loose droppings, and at these times Belgium White is<br />
of great value. The Belgium White sucks up the liquid and<br />
takes away the odor. Your loft floor will never look better<br />
and it will smell great.<br />

Perch Oil by Dr. Pigeon<br />
Do your birds tap dance on their perches or<br />
stamp their feet in the evening? Are the<br />
scales on their legs or feet raised? If so, they<br />
are being annoyed by the Red Mite. This mite does<br />
not live on the bird, it lives in the cracks around the<br />
perches and moves on the bird in the evening to suck<br />
blood. The Perch Oil is very effective in ridding your birds of these<br />
pests as well as other lice and mites. Squirt a small stream onto<br />
the perch and the areas surrounding it.<br />

you make into a spray or dip. Use your own<br />
spray bottle. This is a natural bug killer of lice,<br />
mites and the dreaded pigeon fly. Lasts up<br />
to 30 days. Add 2 oz. to a gallon and make<br />
your own spray. I mix 1 ounce per gallon as<br />
a dip. I dip the birds up to their beak, into this warm water. While<br />
they are in the water, I spread their tail and open each wing to be<br />
sure the mix gets everywhere. When they are done, they are bug<br />
free. Do not use on a very hot day or in the bath water.<br />

TIP:<br />
Laboratory studies have proven oregano oil is effective<br />
against many species of bacteria. Active ingredients of<br />
oregano oil kill some staphylococcus and streptococcus<br />
species. They have an effect on paratyphoid and E. coli, as<br />
well. Similarly, we can use oregano for the prevention and<br />
treatment of coccidiosis and some fungus-related diseases,<br />
since oregano oils hinder the proliferation of Candida,<br />
Aspergillus and some fungi, e.g. yeast.

build their own with these insect<br />

approximately 15"x14"x8". The stems<br />
are imported and are the highest quality<br />
available. Long and comparatively thin. Many fanciers soak<br />
the stems they are going to use, in water for an hour or so.<br />
After soaking to soften the stems, form them into a circle<br />
that fits in to their next bowl. They should cover the bottom<br />
and part way up the side. Many pigeons are poor nest<br />
builders and you sometimes have to help. After the stems<br />
are soaked and fit the bowl, remove them and let them dry<br />
before reinserting them.<br />

WATER CONDITIONER<br />
Apple Cider Vinegar<br />
The addition of Apple Cider<br />
Vinegar to the water will lower<br />
the pH of the water, thus increasing<br />
the acidity. Research has shown that<br />
increased acidity from Apple Cider Vinegar has<br />
positive effects of feed consumption and has increased<br />
bird growth and performance. Apple<br />
Cider Vinegar has proven to be inhospitable, to<br />
Paratyphoid/Salmonella and E. Coli. When<br />
something goes wrong in the throat, Apple Cider<br />
will help. It is a great product to use during the<br />
breeding season. Our Apple Cider Vinegar may be mixed<br />
with vitamins, electrolytes or probiotics. Use as often as you<br />
chose, one tablespoon per gallon of drinking water. Use a minimum<br />
of twice a week. On a personal note, we always seem to<br />
have bug problem at the house. (small bugs that fly around and<br />
are a pest). We solved the problem by placing a small bowl of<br />
Apple Cider Vinegar in the kitchen, near the sink and we no longer<br />
have the problem.<br />

the liver, and it damages normal intestinal bacteria less than<br />
other products ending in “cycline”. The use of Doxycycline<br />

what disease your birds have. Over the years pigeons have<br />
developed a resistance to Doxycycline, but is still effective.<br />

Ideal Bath Salts by Versele-Laga<br />
Parasites, mites and so on are<br />
a real problem with any pigeon<br />
loft. They damage feathers and put<br />
your pigeons under stress. Pigeons that cannot<br />
relax in their loft are never going to be in<br />
the best of condition, and for this reason it is<br />
very important to treat pigeons and their accommodations<br />
such as the loft, baskets and aviaries. The Ideal Orange<br />
Bath Salts in the bathwater gives the pigeons soft<br />
feathers and helps maintain the strength and waterresistant<br />
function of the feathers. One tablespoon<br />
to 2 ½ gallons of bath water and remove after they are<br />
done bathing. In the winter, one bath a week, flying season<br />
one or two times a week. Give cold bath water in the<br />
morning and warm bath water after a race or competing.<br />
Safe if the pigeons drink it.<br />

all the essential amino acids, and in particular<br />
enriched with two amino acids which are lacking in<br />
most grains. Methione and Lyzine, all balanced in correct<br />

acids and is a suburb product for breeding, moulting, and in the<br />
evening after a race or flight. It assures fast absorption of needed<br />
amino acids which again are converted to needed proteins by<br />

Vitamins are complex substances which<br />
the pigeon needs to regulate the biological process<br />
in the body. Vitamins are extremely important<br />
for good health. The pigeon is unable to make the<br />
majority of vitamins itself and consequently these have<br />
to be absorbed through the drinking water. Vitamins, D-<br />
Pantothenic and Nicotinic acid. Dulcovit supports the general<br />
good health, helps in the recovery after illness and an<br />
excellent product to use during the breeding season. Use<br />
throughout the year, once a week. Twice a week during<br />
stressful periods such as breeding, sickness and heavy exertion.<br />
6 bottle caps to a liter (Quart) of drinking water or<br />
measure out the 6 caps in to a small container and mark<br />
how much is in the container, saving time so that you do not<br />
have to measure out 6 caps each time. Change daily.<br />

Red Mites: Symptoms include restlessness especially<br />
in the evening. A heavy infestation will cause the babies<br />
to lose weight and sometimes die. The adults hide in<br />
cracks and crevices during daylight. The mites come out<br />
at night and moves onto the pigeons. The mites feed on<br />
the blood during the evening and do their breeding in<br />
the lofts. To prevent, you should disinfect your loft with<br />
something that contains pyrethrum. Treatment includes<br />
Ekto/Endo to the back of the neck of all your pigeons<br />
every 8 weeks.<br />

These syringes are also helpful when you want to measure a<br />
medication or administer a medication.<br />

MY PIGEONS HAVE ACCESS<br />
TO THE SOIL, WHY?<br />
My birds do the same thing, and like other fanciers, I have<br />
long pondered this question. The soil does contain grit in<br />
the form of small stones, plus minerals and organic matter.<br />
In a clean, not contaminated environment, I can see no<br />
harm in letting them pick at the lawn and garden, but would<br />
avoid recently fertilized areas or those sprayed for weeds.<br />
I would be very careful about allowing my bird’s access to<br />
industrial land that has the potential to contain dangerous<br />
pollutants. It seems like pigeons really enjoy picking at the<br />
soil and seem to find it relaxing and an enjoyable experience<br />
for the birds.<br />

STRESS<br />
The control of stress Is so important to the health and well being<br />
of your pigeons, and I have mentioned it many times in my<br />
writings and in this catalog. Stress may be caused by training,<br />
mating, racing, showing, introducing new birds, handling, hawks<br />
in the area and so much more. Stress lowers the ability of the<br />
pigeons immune system and this makes it harder to fight off disease<br />
that they might of easily fought off if not stressed. When you<br />
know your birds are going to be under stress, I suggest preparing<br />
before hand, say 3-4 days. Any of the products listed below will<br />
help, pick one that fits your needs such as for a small flock, large<br />
flock, powder, liquid, etc. A real aid in reducing stress is to spend<br />
time with your pigeons and they will get to know you and not be<br />
stressed when you walk in.<br />
Naturamine by Natural<br />
This tonic is a combination consisting of<br />
minerals, trace elements and important<br />
amino acids. Includes the Calcium needed to create<br />
strong bones and cartilage which prevents what<br />
you may see as limping, brittle eggs and deformed young in<br />
the egg. Includes the needed small amounts of Manganese, Iron,<br />
Zinc, Copper, and Cobalt. The inclusion of Amino Acids such as<br />
Lysine that are so important to growth and Cholin for enhanced<br />
functioning of the liver. Naturamine is important during the moult,<br />
breeding season, and any stress period such as a race or show.<br />
A silky soft plumage is guaranteed. Initially we suggest 3 tablespoons<br />
to a gallon of drinking water for 5 consecutive days. During<br />
race or show season use once a week after the event. During<br />
breeding season use 2-3 times a week and during the moult use<br />
twice a week.<br />

TIP:<br />
Hawks are a real problem for anybody that flies their pigeons.<br />
A customer has had success with a mirror. She tells me that<br />
on sunny days she has a mirror facing the loft, if she sees a<br />
hawk, she reflects the sun in to the hawks eyes. The hawk is<br />
quite disturbed by this and will fly away.<br />

#2492 Immunity Plus Liquid 8 oz. $20.00<br />
Pigeon Nutri-Drops<br />
Adeno virus, PMV and Circovirus are different strains<br />
of the same virus. Circovirus is an infectious transmittable<br />
disease that spreads form one bird to another. It is<br />
assumed to be spread though physical contact as well as<br />
on the dust in the loft, therefore, making it airborne. Once<br />
in the loft every pigeon will be exposed to the virus and the<br />
majority will become infected. Birds that do become sick<br />
will almost invariably die. The ones that do not become sick<br />
eventually clear the virus from their system. We do not know<br />
how long this takes but if is thought the majority will clear in<br />
4-6 months. However, there is the possibility that some birds<br />
will fail to clear the virus and remain as persistent carriers.<br />
WHILE THE VIRUS IS ACTIVE IT INTERFERES WITH<br />
THE FUNCTIONING OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM. KILL-<br />
ING OF BIRDS WILL NOT ELIMINATE THE VIRUS BE-<br />
CAUSE THE MAJORITY OF INFECTED BIRDS SHOW<br />
NO SYMPTOMS. Viruses attack in two waves. 90% of<br />
birds die in the second wave because an impaired immune<br />
system has increased their vulnerability to secondary disease.<br />
It is essential that birds develop a good immunity to the<br />
second wave to avoid death. Remember that all birds need<br />
a strong immune system to fight off infections and disease.<br />
Pigeons Nutri-Drops contain high energy vitamins, amino<br />
acids and minerals to boost the immune system. Backed<br />
by 20 years of research, field trials and two U.S. patents and<br />
Pigeon Nutri-Drops owns the first patent ever for “speed of<br />
nutrient availability. Mike Owens, Boxes for Birds writes “ My<br />
birds were dying. My birds tested positive for PMV/Circovirus.<br />
I lost 900 birds & lost all hope. I GAVE THE BIRDS<br />
Pigeon Nutri-Drops and in a very short period of time, my<br />
birds were perky. I am so delighted with Nutri-Drops that<br />
I have ordered two cases to give to the rest of my birds.<br />
Thank you to Bovidr for saving my birds”. Nutri Drops may<br />
be combined with any antibiotic, it actually makes the<br />
antibiotic even more effective. Do not combine with any<br />
canker or wormer medicine of any kind, this combination<br />
could be fatal to a pigeon. Directions- Add up to 1 teaspoon<br />
of Nutri-Drops to a gallon of drinking water. If the weather is<br />
very hot, reduce to about ½ teaspoon. Use for as long as<br />
needed or as long as you want to add antibiotic. Change<br />
the water daily.<br />

Rebuild by Pigeon Vitality<br />
Rebuild builds MUSCLE STRENGTH AND<br />
FAST RECUPERATION. Damage to the muscle<br />
cell can easily occur when pigeons are exposed to<br />
stress, tough, demanding flights, and racing. It is therefore important<br />
that when the pigeons return to the loft, we should do all<br />
we can to help them to reduce muscle damage and ensure that<br />
they recuperate as fast as possible. Whatever the degree of injury<br />
to the muscles after a tough flight or race, Rebuild will initiate a<br />
series of actions to rebuild the damaged muscle tissue. The end<br />
result being renewed muscle protein in the injured tissue as well<br />
as the brand-new and stronger growth muscle cells. Rebuild,<br />
a concentrated amino acid that fits exactly the need of the<br />
performing or racing pigeons, 2 teaspoons per gallon of drinking<br />
water on the day of the return is all that is required. 1 capsule<br />
when basketing before a race or a couple of hours before a flight.<br />
1 capsule may also be given to a bird that is late returning.<br />

Carmine + L-Carnitine by<br />
Versele-Laga<br />
The pigeon uses a lot of energy<br />
during flight. It performs its best<br />
if it has the necessary reserves available.<br />
Carmine is a balanced solution of amino<br />
acids and vitamins , supplemented with L-carnitine and<br />
choline. L-carnitine provides the mitochondrial, the energy<br />
producers of the body, with sufficient nutrition for extra<br />
energy. Carmine causes less lactic acid to be produced<br />
in the muscles and the pigeon has greater stamina<br />
during the flight. Through an optimized metabolism of fat<br />
the pigeon produces more and makes quality crop milk.<br />

Turbo Flight<br />
If you race your pigeons, nothing is more<br />
important than SPEED! Turbo Flight has<br />
no other purpose but to increase the speed of your<br />
Racing Pigeons, naturally. Results of tests show that<br />
while flying on glycogen and carbohydrates (fats) in<br />
the blood stream and those stored in the liver, the pigeon can<br />
obtain higher speeds. Based on the results of field testing we<br />
recommend the following: Add one tablespoon to 2 lbs. of pigeon<br />
feed. Give this to your birds that are going to a race the<br />
next day, in the morning and around Noon. Basket them in the<br />
afternoon for the race the next day. Turbo Flight is meant to<br />
be used only for pigeons that are going to race within 24<br />
hours. Give Turbo Flight only when the pigeons will stay<br />
one night or less in the basket. If pigeons are not allowed<br />
to fly within 24 hours after the Turbo Flight meal, they will<br />
use their added energy for fighting in the basket…..even the hens<br />
start fighting!!! A remarkable product and all natural but it must<br />
be used as directed! The dosage for the Turbo Flight Capsules<br />
is one capsule just before a race or training flight, it may be combined<br />
with Rebuild Capsules for optimum speed and endurance.<br />
Never give Turbo Flight during the week because it gives<br />
the birds an explosive burst of energy and the racing pigeon will<br />
reach its peak performance before the race.<br />

ARE YOU FEEDING TOO MUCH?<br />
It is normal for your pigeons to eat what they like first, and<br />
in many cases, leave what they do not want. Pigeons are<br />
like kids, unless you make them eat everything, they will<br />
not get all the nutrition they need. If after all the birds have<br />
stopped feeding, and there is still grains such as corn and<br />
peas in the feeder, you are feeding too much! Remove<br />
the feeder and then when you feed them again, give them<br />
the grains and /or peas that they did not eat the last time.<br />
Knowing that you are overfeeding your pigeons, cut back<br />
until they eat everything in the feeder. Within 20-30 minutes<br />
your pigeons will always be a bit hungry. That is what<br />
you want.<br />

MOULT | CALCIUM<br />

MOULT | BLOOD PURIFIER | CALCIUM<br />
It is normal to find loose feathers on the floor of your loft, there is<br />
always some shedding. Things really change when your birds start<br />
the moult. The moult is much like most animals, they grow new fur or<br />
feathers once a year. The body moult of pigeons usually starts in late<br />
summers and early fall. In most lofts the biggest moult is in August.<br />
This is when they moult the body feathers, those small feathers that<br />
float all over the place. The wing and tail feathers start to fall off in<br />
late spring and early summer. I get calls during moulting season from<br />
inexperienced fanciers who may not have gone through the moulting<br />
season before, and I share with them to assure them that it is<br />
perfectly normal and not to worry. Another question I get is SHOULD<br />
I BE BREEDING DURING THE MOULTING SEASON. In general. The<br />
answer is no, but that does not mean that fanciers who do breed<br />
during the heavy moult, may still get some really good birds. The reason<br />
I suggest you do not breed during a heavy moult is quite simple.<br />
Breeding pigeons is very stressful, and most are reluctant to breed.<br />
Along with the stress of breeding, the moult is also stressful, and because<br />
of his very stressful time, breeding is not advisable.<br />
During heavy moult, you should consider increasing the protein in a<br />
pigeon’s diet. Feathers are mostly protein and a higher protein is suggested.<br />
Most pigeon feeds are 12% to 15% and during the heavy<br />
moult, you should consider an 18% feed. The pigeons will need different<br />
grains during a moult and you will notice that they will eagerly<br />
eat grains that they normally seem to shy away from, an example is<br />
peas. Another thing you need to consider is feeding more oil seed and<br />
nutrients. Oil seeds include peanuts, flax, hemp and safflower, many<br />
of these can be found in pigeon candy or purchased individually. Avio<br />
Moult is a complete and well researched supplement developed for<br />
supplementing during the moult season. OMEGA 3 and OMEGA 6<br />
are an important oil and include krill oil. Avio Moult includes all vitamins,<br />
trace elements and essential AMINO ACIDS needed. Avio Moult<br />
also includes Typtophane as a natural stress reduction and calmative.<br />
Others you may want to consider as alternatives are Multivite and<br />
products that contain trace minerals such as pick stones, pick pots,<br />
red stone and a top quality grit. Important trace minerals include Zinc,<br />
Copper, Manganese, Iodine and others.<br />
Avio-Moult Powder by Aviomed<br />
The most complete moulting supplement<br />
on the market. Mega levels<br />
of essential vitamins act as co-factors. Krill<br />
powder supplies a maximum Omega 3 for<br />
glossy feathers and Glucosamine along with MSM for optimal<br />
feather strength through the intake of well absorbed sulphur.<br />
IODINE and Thyrosine stimulates the thyroid gland for a<br />
fast and complete moult. Incredible feather formation and<br />
resilience is assured by the high levels of Biotin, Methionine<br />
and Lysine. Contains all the important vitamins, minerals<br />
and trace elements needed for a perfect moult. Krill powder,<br />
Glucosamine, MSM, Iodine, Thyrosine, mega levels of Biotin,<br />

WEIGHT GAIN<br />
I get a lot of calls on how to put weight on our pigeons, and<br />
listed on this page are products that will help in that area.<br />
When sick pigeons lose weight it is called “going light” and<br />
this is a symptom, not a disease. Much like you have, for<br />
some unknown reason, you do not feel well, a symptom, but<br />
you do not know why. Droppings analysis from the pigeons<br />
will most likely tell you the problem. If the birds seem healthy<br />
but light, than you may want to try something from this<br />
page. I have had good luck with raw peanuts. If the pigeons<br />
have never eaten peanuts, they may not want to try them.<br />
If they leave peanuts in the feeder, do not feed them again<br />
until they do eat them, once they accept the peanuts as<br />
feed, they will actually grow to like them, and eat them first.<br />

once a year. A pigeon’s eggs take from 17-19 days to<br />
hatch. Pigeons will sometimes lay their eggs in the corner,<br />
on the floor, even though there are empty nest boxes. If<br />
they are on the floor, you cannot move the eggs more than<br />
a few inches, if you do, they will leave the eggs. It is a<br />
good idea to place a nest bowl with the first egg placed in<br />
it, along with some nesting material formed to fit the bowl.
TREAT | REWARD<br />
Pigeons, like people, love treats and actually look forward to them<br />
and treats are a powerful tool in training your birds to do what<br />
you want. I have a small flock of chickens, and they are fed layer<br />
pellets. These chickens are free range and if for some reason I<br />
want them to come close to the house, I have taught them to<br />
recognize my whistle, When I started to train them, they did not<br />
know why I was whistling, but I tried to get close to them and<br />
when I whistled, I threw them a small amount of bread. Over a<br />
very short time, when I whistled, they just about flew to me, and<br />
I now have them trained to eat out of my hand. Pigeons are the<br />
same, if you want to train them, reward them. My pigeons are<br />
also trained to come into the loft when I whistle, I never let them<br />
fly unless they are a bit hungry. I start their training by letting them<br />
go out to the aviary which has a removable screened in top that is<br />
easy to remove. With the screened aviary on, I open the trap and<br />
make sure they are all outside, some I have to catch and place<br />
outside. I then close the trap and then place a treat in their feeder.<br />
I whistle when I do this, but of course they do not know why I am<br />
whistling. When they come in they find their treat. A while after<br />
the treat, I then give them their regular feed. I do not feed them<br />
again until the next day, and I repeat the process with the whistle<br />
and the trap closed. Over time they figure out that's why I whistle,<br />
and they come in. When I think they are trained, I then remove<br />
the aviary and close the trap. When I want to have them return, I<br />
whistle and put the feed in the feeder, not enough for a meal, just<br />
enough to entice them to return. The key is that they need to be<br />
hungry to return. Oh, I drive my chickens crazy when I am training<br />
my pigeons, they hear the whistle and come flying expecting a<br />
treat and I do give them a very small amount of bread. If you have<br />
chickens and pigeons, perhaps shake a can with feed in it as one<br />
of the signals so as not to confuse the chickens. My pigeons and<br />
chickens are in separate buildings.<br />
Pigeon Candy<br />
A very special mixture of small seeds<br />
used as a special treat or as a feed<br />
to convalescing pigeons. When your pigeons<br />
are looking sick or fluffed up, separate<br />
the sick ones and change their diet to a small<br />
grain mix such as Pigeon Candy. Sick pigeons<br />
have a hard time digesting larger grains such as peas and<br />
corn. By switching to the Pigeon Candy they are better able to digest<br />
the smaller grains. Guaranteed crude protein 16.2%, crude<br />
fat 15.5%, crude fiber 10%. Canary seed, white millet, red millet,<br />
rape seed, flax, safflower, rice, soy oil and orange extract. A real<br />
treat for your pigeons.<br />

The immune system is one of the most important parts of<br />
the body. It determines state of health and performance.<br />
Consider the regular use of immune boosters on a regular<br />

Granulated Charcoal<br />
When you feed grit with charcoal,<br />
the birds will eat the<br />
charcoal before anything else.<br />
Natural filter for your birds digestive<br />
system. Add to your grit or feed it in<br />
a small container once a week. I keep<br />
an old pick pot container full. Charcoal absorbs any toxins<br />
from the birds system which contributes to good<br />
health. Give them just a small amount in a small container.<br />

Eye colds are a problem many<br />

is as simple as moving a perch, the one eye cold<br />
ceases to be a problem because it is out of an<br />
undetected draft. The Gel is a container that is<br />
squeezed and a small amount of gel is applied to the problem<br />
area 2-3 times a day. The Vetericyn Gel KILLS BAC-<br />

Leg Splint<br />
You should have one in your loft should a bird hit<br />
a wire or somehow break a leg. A broken leg will<br />
set improperly, very quickly, and if you order one<br />
and wait for it to be delivered, it may be too late<br />
to fix the broken leg.<br />
#752 Leg Splint $10.00<br />
Jerry's Antiseptic Spray<br />
A must in every loft and have it handy if a need<br />
arises. If you have to wait for it to be shipped to<br />
you, a wound may get infected by the time you get<br />
it. On occasion, an aggressive male corners a<br />
young one and scalps the poor birds head. A<br />
young one may enter a nest, that is not theirs, and<br />
the cock will most assuredly attack and injure the youngster.<br />
I personally have had hawks attack a bird and this is a great<br />
product to have had around. Handy pump spray bottle,<br />
sprayed directly on the wood for 2-3 days while it is healing.<br />
Speeds recovery and an aid in preventing infections.<br />

Recup-Lyt by Versele-Laga<br />
Electrolytes are salts and minerals. Pigeons lose fluids<br />
with important minerals for the body such as calcium,<br />

In cases of long term deficiencies of these electrolytes<br />
the pigeon becomes less able to retain fluids, their stamina<br />
decreases rapidly and the performance reduces greatly. By<br />
giving RECUP-LYT before exertion you give your pigeon the<br />
chance to build up fluid and electrolyte reserves. In addition<br />
the fluid-electrolyte balance recovers quickly after the exertion,<br />
the lactic acid is discharged more quickly from the muscles<br />
and their iron levels in the blood are restored.<br />
• Ensures balanced water in tissues and organs<br />
• Prevents Dehydration<br />
• Helps pigeons recover faster after the competition<br />
• Promotes recovery after illness<br />

VITAMINS | MINERALS<br />
There is quite a bit of controversy as to the benefits of supplementing<br />
the water or feed with vitamins, probiotics and electrolytes. I am in<br />
contact with many vets on a regular basis, and all agree that the use of<br />
these products is of value and importance. If you have a virus, it is of<br />
utmost importance to add vitamins and electrolytes to the birds water<br />
or feed. The vitamins are to help the birds thru a virus, which is untreatable,<br />
and the electrolytes are to help a bird that quickly becomes<br />
dehydrated. If your birds have loose, watery droppings, they too are<br />
susceptible to dehydration and electrolytes should be used. Using a<br />
vitamin or electrolyte once a week is a waste of time, it would be like<br />
you taking a one a day vitamin, once a week. Regular use of vitamins<br />
and electrolytes, say 3-4 times a week will do you a world of good, but<br />
only over time. Probiotics, vitamins and electrolytes may be mixed together,<br />
combine each at the dosage on the packages. You may want<br />
to consider some of the products that are already combined.<br />
UltraPro<br />
So many medications call for the addition<br />
of vitamins and probiotics after the<br />
treatment. <strong>Foy's</strong> now offers you the opportunity<br />
to do this in just one step. <strong>Foy's</strong> UltraPro is a<br />
combination of high quality vitamins along with a probiotic.<br />
<strong>Foy's</strong> UltraPro is also a great product to add to the drinking<br />
water 2-3 times a week. The probiotic helps keep the intestines<br />
healthy, and this is where so much disease starts. The<br />
vitamins will, over a period of time, create a smooth glossy<br />
feather, tight droppings and give your birds energy and<br />
eagerness to fly. You should also expect better fertility<br />
and a good moult. 1 teaspoon per gallon of drinking water<br />
2-3 days after a medication treatment and use regularly 2-3<br />
days a week year round.<br />

Pro Bios by <strong>Foy's</strong><br />
A top quality pro-biotic that is many<br />
times stronger than most probiotics<br />
on the market. Foy’s Pro-Biotic is also a<br />
concentrate which allows you to use much<br />
less than most other brands. The use of<br />
probiotics has grown to a must have product,<br />
based on studies and obvious results. Probiotics are<br />
meant to be used on a regular, year-round basis, and very<br />
importantly, after the use of medications. When medications<br />
are used, they should be followed by the use of probiotics<br />
for three days. It is strongly suggested that you regularly<br />
offer probiotics every MONDAY, WEDNESDAY and<br />
FRIDAY. If at all possible, leave your water sit over night<br />
before giving it to your birds. Most drinking water contains<br />
chlorine, and chlorine may reduce or kill the benefits of the<br />
probiotic. Foy’s Pro Biotic MAY BE COMBINED WITH<br />
VITAMINS and is especially good when mixed with garlic.<br />
This probiotic combination will help (purify the blood,<br />
expel worms, create the white healthy looking nose<br />
wattle, improve the moult, increase the appetite and<br />
firm up the droppings). Probiotics will create an acidic<br />
environment in the drinking water and this acidity will reduce<br />
the possibility of the growth of Paratyphoid and E-<br />
Coli. May be sprinkled on moistened feed that has been<br />
moistened with an oil such as Avio Gel or Feather and Immune<br />
Oil, but most offer probiotics in the drinking water at<br />
the rate of ½ teaspoon per gallon. If possible, when using<br />
medicine or probiotics, let your drinking water sit overnight<br />
to remove chlorine or you could use perfect water #10.<br />

Digestal Plus Florastimul<br />
Powder by Versele-Laga<br />
There are bacteria in pigeons digestive<br />
tract which are essential for a good<br />
digestion. There are good bacteria predominate<br />
in a healthy pigeon. However if<br />
the pathogenic bacteria (BAD) predominate,<br />
the pigeon will have watery droppings resulting in loss<br />
of large amounts of fluids and electrolytes. When you give<br />
antibiotics, the antibiotic kills all bacteria, both good<br />
and bad. Digestal serves as a food for the good intestinal<br />
flora (probiotics) and will also ensure that the pathogenic<br />
(bad) bacteria are no longer able to stick to the intestinal wall<br />
so that the natural intestinal flora can recover. The goal is<br />
always to prevent disease, and the regular use of Digestal is<br />
a huge step in that direction. Composition: Citrus Pulp, Dextrose,<br />
Sodium Chloride and Mannanoligosacchrides (MOS).<br />
In Europe, it is understood that many pigeon products get<br />
the best results when used on the feed. Measure one tablespoon<br />
(included) to 1 kg (2 lbs.) of feed that has been<br />
dampened with a top quality oil such as Ferti-Oil or Form-<br />
Oil Plus. Uses include when you have watery diarrhea<br />
(e.g. Young Bird Disease), in youngsters preventively two<br />
or three times a week after they have been weaned and after<br />
they return from a race or competitive fly, for two days before<br />
the race or competition. Make fresh daily.<br />

ELECTROLYTES<br />
WHAT ARE ELECTROLYTES - Electrolytes are natural products<br />
based on salts and minerals. During a flight a lot of minerals are used,<br />
quicker recovery can be promoted by giving electrolytes. A product<br />
that contains both electrolytes and glucose (a natural sugar) is ideal.<br />
The Glucose is for speedy recovery and the electrolytes also offer quick<br />
recovery and replaces body fluids lost by the exertion of flights. It is<br />
suggested that you use electrolytes during an outbreak of intestinal<br />
problems that create diarrhea.<br />
Ropa Electro Sol<br />
Ropa-B Electro Sol is a powerful solution<br />
which consists of electrolytes, amino acids<br />
and vitamins, and assures a quick and<br />
balanced fluid recovery after extreme physical performance<br />
or after illness (thin manure). Electrolytes<br />
make sure that fluid is absorbed more quickly and that fluid<br />
is retained longer. Therefore, important substances are not<br />
lost in the stools. It also ensures an optimal acid-base balance<br />
in muscle and blood. The amino acids (building blocks<br />
of proteins), are good for the preservation and growth of<br />
muscle tissue. Vitamins support energy metabolism and an<br />
overall health. Dosage: Breeding period and thin droppings:<br />
5 days, 30 ml per quart of drinking water. Increase vigor: 1<br />
to 2 times per week, 15ml per liter of drinking water. Shake<br />
before use.<br />

Vitamins &<br />
Electrolytes<br />
Most experts agree that<br />
you will improve the overall health<br />
and reduce stress with the addition<br />
of Vitamins and Electrolytes to the<br />
birds diet. It is especially important<br />
to add this product to the water or<br />
feed during extreme weather conditions. The treated water<br />
needs to be changed every day. In addition to the Electrolytes,<br />
the product contains Vitamins A, D3, E, Niacin and<br />
much more. Use at the rate of 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of<br />
drinking water or sprinkle 1 oz. over the feed that has been<br />
slightly moistened with something like Perfect Oil or Feather<br />
& Immune Oil or Gel Powder.<br />

TIP:<br />
Vitamins should not be given along with a coccidiosis<br />
treatment. If you give B vitamins with Coccidia medications<br />
you are feeding the coccidia and working against<br />
your medications. Because this medication deprives<br />
the pigeons of B vitamins, after the treatment is over<br />
give vitamins. Coccidia are protozoans- one cell organisms<br />
much larger than bacteria, but much smaller than<br />
worms. They cause damage by invading the cells which<br />
line the intestinal track.<br />
Recup-Lyt by Versele-Laga<br />
Electrolytes are salts and minerals. Pigeons<br />
lose fluids with important minerals<br />
for the body such as calcium, sodium, magnesium,<br />
potassium, and chloride during heavy exertion.<br />
In cases of long term deficiencies of these electrolytes<br />
the pigeon becomes less able to retain fluids, their stamina<br />
decreases rapidly and the performance reduces greatly. By<br />
giving RECUP-LYT before exertion you give your pigeon the<br />
chance to build up fluid and electrolyte reserves. In addition<br />
the fluid-electrolyte balance recovers quickly after the exertion,<br />
the lactic acid is discharged more quickly from the muscles<br />
and their iron levels in the blood are restored.<br />
• Ensures balanced water in tissues and organs<br />
• Prevents Dehydration<br />
• Helps pigeons recover faster after the competition<br />
• Promotes recovery after illness<br />
Complete directions on the packets. In cases of intestinal<br />
problems such as ADENO VIRUS, coccidiosis, and symptoms<br />
such as diarrhea, use until symptoms are gone. Includes 12<br />
packets and each packet is for 1 quart of drinking water.<br />

Lectrolyte Powder by Aviomed<br />
Lectrolyte is one of the most complete<br />
and well researched electrolyte<br />
combinations specifically developed<br />
for racing pigeons. It not only contains all the<br />
essential electrolytes needed before and after<br />
a race but also an amazing range of major as<br />
well as minor amino-acids. It reduces the pigeons thirst during<br />
races so that pigeons do not go down for water as often<br />
during the race. Lectrolyte is different from any other pigeon<br />
electrolytes as it contains licorices extract that entices pigeons<br />
to drink enough water before the race and has an immune stimulating<br />
effect during the race. This addition can clearly be smelt<br />
when opening the container. Lectrolyte is the perfect electrolyte<br />
combination to use as an aid in treating Young Bird Disease.<br />
It also is an excellent product to use in warmer months when<br />
babies start to develop the wet nest syndrome from being fed<br />
to much water by stock birds. Add Lectrolyte to the pigeons<br />
drinking water on the morning of basketing until noon. Pigeons<br />
returning from the races should receive Lectrolyte for the full<br />
day. Babies suffering from YBD should receive Lectrolyte in<br />
their drinking water for as long as symptoms remain. When babies<br />
suffer from the wet nest syndrome Lectrolyte should be<br />
added to breeding birds drinking water in the mornings.<br />

Perch Oil by Dr. Pigeon<br />
Do your birds tap dance on their perches or stamp<br />
their feet in the evening? Are the scales on their<br />
legs or feet raised? If so, they are being annoyed by the<br />

the cracks around the perches and moves on the bird in the<br />
evening to suck blood. The Perch Oil is very effective in ridding<br />
your birds of these pests as well as other lice and mites. Squirt a<br />
small stream onto the perch and the areas surrounding it.<br />

"The Featherhood"<br />
A billionaires bird is missing and no ones claimed<br />
the huge reward. The greatest racing pigeon in<br />
history, worth over half a million dollars, vanished<br />
into thin air. If he's alive out there, his captors<br />
aren't talking. From the hidden but high-stakes<br />
world of pigeon racing comes the inside story of<br />
what really happened to The Black Deuce, Belgium's<br />
legendary winner of Europe's greatest race, Barcelona.<br />
In the 1990s, flying faster than 47,000 pedigreed homing<br />
pigeons, he won this 600+ mile event twice, a feat never<br />
before equaled. Adding tenfold to his value, his proven ability<br />
to sire champions. Then, tragedy. Imported to California, he<br />
was frightened from his new home. More than 5,000 miles<br />
from Belgium, returning there was suicide. But he tried, only<br />
to be ripped from the sky by a pair of deadly falcons. Lost,<br />
alone and only minutes from death, fate brought a young boy<br />
in Tacoma, Washington into his life. Jim Jenner's fascinating<br />
and heartwarming story reveals how The Black Deuce, a bird<br />
worth twenty times his weight in gold, fell into the lives of<br />
inner-city children with no idea of his value. But, more than<br />
money, his true worth lay in the transformative effect pigeons<br />
often have on their human keepers. This ancient, and lifechanging<br />
transformation forms a bond they call The Featherhood.<br />

False Eggs<br />
False eggs are used for<br />
a number of purposes.<br />
They remove the real eggs and replace<br />
them with the false pigeon<br />
eggs. Pigeons do not know the difference<br />
and will sit on these false<br />
eggs until past the normal hatching date. Chicken fanciers<br />
may not want to raise any more peeps and when a hen goes<br />
broody and will not leave the nest, the eggs are removed<br />
and replace with false eggs. Cage bird fanciers use them for<br />
the same reasons. Some fanciers like the wood and others<br />
prefer the plastic, where possible, we offer both. The cage<br />
bird eggs are all available in plastic only.<br />

Levi's Basket<br />
I attended the National<br />
Poultry Show in Columbus,<br />
Ohio and noticed a basket that<br />
many exhibitors were using. I brought<br />
one of them home and had John, our<br />
Amish craftsman, made one with what we feel are a few<br />
small improvements. This basket is ideal for poultry, but it<br />
is also ideal for some of the larger, tall breeds of pigeons.<br />
Available in 4, 5, or 6 bird baskets. Each compartment is 5"<br />
wide x 12 ¾” x 11 ½” high. Completely sanded to eliminate<br />
sharp edges and each compartment has 3/8" dowels in the<br />
front, 5 ½” high. Each compartment has a sliding door and<br />
all may be locked using the ¼” dowel. All 3 sizes are 13"<br />
high and 14 ¾” front to back. The 4 bird is 26" long, the 5<br />
bird is 32" long and the 6 bird is 38" long. A beautiful, Amish<br />
made basket in natural wood. You may want to stain one<br />
and cover with Polyurethane for a gorgeous basket. Add a<br />
brass plate with your name or loft name and phone number<br />
for an additional $7.00.<br />

Deluxe 5 Large Bird Basket<br />

could not come up with any description that did not include<br />

original design was from a customer’s request and created by<br />
John Raber. The Deluxe Basket is 32” long, 14 ¾” front to<br />
back and the total height is 15 ¼”. Inside measurements are<br />
12 7/8” front to back, 11 ¼” high and 6” wide. The five sliding<br />
doors are locked in place by a ¼ sanded wood dowel, this<br />

air ventilation. Inside, the birds are standing on a wire<br />
floor of ½” x 1” plastic coated wire. The bottom of the basket<br />

A Brief Survey of Pigeon Diseases<br />
Jerry Gagne, NPA-Legacy Fund Trust<br />
I do hope you find the following helpful and<br />
that you are better able to recognize diseases<br />
from these pictures.<br />
I am by no way a Vet and I always suggest<br />
you discuss your pigeon health issues with<br />
an avian vet.<br />
POX<br />
Pigeon Pox is caused by viruses. The typical<br />
scabby incrustations on the outer skin<br />
(pox) have given the disease its name. Pox<br />
viruses are excreted in the saliva, the nasal<br />
secretions and the lacrimal fluid, but are<br />
hardly ever seen in the droppings. They are<br />
transmitted via the beak with infected feed or<br />
drinking water, or by contact with dust containing<br />
the viruses.<br />
Early stages of pox formation on the eyelid,<br />
5 days after the infection.<br />
Secretions of the virus-excreting pigeons drip<br />
on the loft floor, become dry and are whirled<br />
up by the movement of the pigeons. Because<br />
pecking, particularly about the wattle<br />
(Bare Skin on head) it is possible that a pigeon<br />
from an infected loft carries the Virus<br />
but does not contract the disease, although<br />
it may infect other birds. The infection is also<br />
passed on by insect bites.<br />
Later stages of Pox formation.<br />
The pox is usually a young bird disease, but<br />
adults do, on occasion, contract the virus.<br />
Pigeon Pox may also be seen on the bare<br />
skin of the leg.<br />
Actual treatment of the pox is not possible.<br />
Since no substance is known with which the<br />
virus in the pigeon body can be combated,<br />
attempts are made to control secondary<br />
bacterial infections by giving products containing<br />
antibiotics (Spectinomycin, Chlortetracycline<br />
or Myconsan-t.)<br />
ORNITHOSIS<br />
An infectious disease in many species of<br />
birds. It is caused by a bacterial like organism<br />
called Chlamydia. Ornithosis is one of the<br />
most common respiratory infections found in<br />
pigeons. It is often confused with Mycoplasmosis.<br />
Ornithosis causes severe respiratory<br />
disease in pigeons and usually starts as a<br />
minor inflammation in the one eye. It may<br />
proceed to severe lung disease and death or<br />
may stay as a mild disease suppressing flying<br />
performance. It is transmitted via the egg<br />
and may cause early death of babies. It is<br />
one of the few diseases that is transmitted to<br />
humans. Pigeons surviving Ornithosis do not<br />
acquire lasting immunity and may contact<br />
the disease several times.<br />
Severe conjunctivitis, weeping and sticking<br />
together of feathers in ornithosis.<br />
Ornithosis due to the obstruction of the lacrimal<br />
canal, the lacrimal sac bulges outward.<br />
Difficulty in breathing due to inflammation<br />
and obstruction of the upper respiratory<br />
tract in ornithosis.<br />
Ornithosis is difficult to treat and treatment<br />
must be continued for at least 10-20 days.<br />
Doxycycline is still the safest drug and by<br />
far the most effective treatment. It is recommended<br />
that all racing pigeons and flying<br />
breeds be treated at least 8 weeks before<br />
the training tosses for 20 days continuously.<br />
Treatment must be repeated in mid-season<br />
for 10 days. Resistance to treatment is increasing<br />
and therefore it is extremely important<br />
to use the correct dosage, and never<br />
higher. By combining Doxycycline with Bromhexine<br />
for the first 5 days the treatment is<br />
improved. If it is suspected that the pigeons<br />
also suffer from Mycoplasmosis, a combined<br />
treatment with Doxycycline and Spiramycin<br />
may be done for the first 7 days.<br />
MYCOPLASMOSIS<br />
Mycoplasmosis is caused by the organism<br />
Mycoplasma. There are currently 3 forms of<br />
this organism. Mycoplasmosis is one of the<br />
most common respiratory infections found in<br />
pigeons. It is often confused with Ornithosis.<br />
It causes moderate respiratory disease in pigeons<br />
and usually starts as a mild infections<br />
in the eyes and nose. A clear thread of slime<br />
often accumulates in the back of the throat.<br />
It may progress to severe lung disease and<br />
death or may stay as a mild disease sup-<br />
119
pressing racing and flying performance. It<br />
is often characterized by sneezing, shaking<br />
the head and scratching of the nostrils. It is<br />
transmitted via the egg and may cause early<br />
death of babies.<br />
Paratyphoid swollen joints<br />
Paratyphoid abscess<br />
Mycoplasmosis<br />
Mycoplasmosis<br />
Treatment of Mycoplasmosis is becoming<br />
more difficult to treat due to resistance developing.<br />
Treatment must be continued for at<br />
least 5-7 days. Four to six weekly preventative<br />
treatment is advised. It is advised to alternate<br />
products to prevent developing resistance.<br />
Breeding pigeons should be treated<br />
before the season begins and babies should<br />
be treated until the molt starts. Tylan, Spiramycin,<br />
Doxycycline, Mycoban, Chlortetracycline<br />
and other products are used alone or<br />
in combination to treat Mycoplasmosis. It is<br />
suggested that you combine with Bromhexine<br />
for the first 4 days of treatment for amazing<br />
results.<br />
PARATYPHOID<br />
Disease droppings perhaps from<br />
Paratyphoid<br />
Paratyphoid (Salmonella) is a deadly disease<br />
caused by a very specific bacterium<br />
called Salmonella. Paratyphoid may affect<br />
pigeons of all ages and is a true carrier disease.<br />
Paratyphoid may cause many different<br />
disease symptoms depending on which<br />
organ is affected. It normally starts off with<br />
enteritis that progresses to infections of the<br />
liver, brain, joints and even ovaries. Typical<br />
symptoms include swollen joints and even<br />
infertility. Death of babies is common or dying<br />
embryos in eggs. In some cases, hens<br />
may be carriers that infect their youngsters.<br />
Pigeons that have survived Paratyphoid and<br />
have not been given adequate treatment, often<br />
become permanent carriers.<br />
TREATMENT<br />
Extended antibiotic treatment for at least 10<br />
days combined with pigeon specific intestinal<br />
Normal droppings<br />
immune stimulants is the method of choice<br />
for treating Paratyphoid. A broad spectrum<br />
compounded antibiotic that combines Chloramphenicol,<br />
Furaltadone and Amoxicillin has<br />
been shown to be the most effective in treating<br />
Paratyphoid. Treatment must always be<br />
followed up by vaccinating with an effective<br />
Paratyphoid vaccine. It is a mandatory to<br />
vaccinate with a booster 3-4 weeks after the<br />
first vaccination. The booster is a must only<br />
after the first time a vaccination has been administered.<br />
