Racing pigeon food: what to add to your pigeon food to increase your speed

Water and honey in the feed for homing pigeons

There is honey … and more honey.

First of all, we have common imported honey, which in our country is mixed with sugar. Then we have the pure honey that we can get from beekeepers. Years ago, it was easier to get honey from beekeepers than today. Lately, the number of beekeepers has decreased enormously. Nowadays, men no longer care to take care of the hives, where they have to work every day in a mask and thick gloves.

We actually prefer honey that we get from a beekeeper. In this case, we consider honey as a cure, which contains excellent qualities. Honey is especially good for improving breathing and for the nervous system. It helps digestion and is a nutrient for people with stomach disorders. People suffering from rheumatism and gout should use honey. The antacid it contains is an excellent source of healing. Honey is free of microbes and contains all the vitamins that bees collect along with pollen from flowers. Honey works wonders for colds, sore throats, enteritis, and the flu – it’s not just useful as a food for homing pigeons! It is a natural, healthy, energetic and healing food. It is not only good for children, but also for adults; Prevention is better than cure, and with this saying, honey certainly plays a role.

Being good for humans, it must also be good for pigeons, and we recommend that all fanciers feed it to their birds as part of their homing pigeon diet, because we ourselves do well with its use. We use it all year round, a teaspoon in a liter of water. First dissolve the honey in a glass of water. Never pour hot water over honey as this can ruin the vitamins and can also cause fermentation. After a long hard race, our widowers get everything they want to drink from this … one scoop in 500cc. of water. At least two days a week, and two days before basketing, the honey infusion must be in all lofts. As the well-known saying goes: “Try it … you might like it!”

Water and sugar in feed for racing pigeons

Any hobbyist who wants to keep up with modern advances in racing pigeon feeding will use glucose-sugar. Glucose: the food for the muscles before the season and after the race, helps the birds to recover faster. If the birds are basketed on Friday, Wednesday and Thursday add 2 full teaspoons of glucose-sugar for every liter of drinking water. Upon your return from the race, for a day, add two to three full teaspoons of glucose-sugar to each liter of drinking water each time your racing pigeons feed. The next day, clean the waterers and pour fresh water. When we use tea, after it has cooled down, you can add a little glucose-sugar to it.

Some fanciers use sugar cubes (6 per liter of water), or crystal sugar, using one tablespoon per liter of water.

We prefer glucose as part of their diet for racing pigeons because it is easier to use and, with us, it has given the best results.
