Does anyone know where in the US or Canada a person could purchase this above mentioned feed supplement?Monte wrote about using it in the feed while feeding the Yo-Yo system with older birds.---------

Hey Kel, is this what you need? If so, I can include it in my next supply order. Let me know:
Natural Antwerp VITAMINERAL
Natural launched Vitamineral in 1952. By doing so Natural became the first company to produce a special vitaminised mineral mix for racing pigeons. VITAMINERAL has won the confidence of Belgian pigeon fanciers in no time as it meant a breakthrough in the feeding habits of the racing pigeons. Natural has constantly improved the composition of VITAMINERAL. VITAMINERAL contains all the minerals necessary for a balanced diet. In addition to essential minerals, VITAMINERAL contains vitamins A, D, and E, which are required for the assimilation of these minerals. These vitamines have a positive influence on the growth of the youngsters and the fertility. VITAMINERAL is a product the pigeons need all year round. Vitamineral should therefore always be present in the pigeon loft. The pigeon will only eat it out of realphyysiological need. There will be marked comsumption when they return from a race and during breeding and moulting. The breeders ingest up to 650 mg of calcium per day when they nourish thier youngsters. VITAMINERAL accelerates the pigeon growth and enhances their resistance.

Thanks Tony,
Wow that is prompt service!!I was asking for another flier up here in B.C.He is looking for some as Monte wrote about it in describing his Yo-yo method of feeding.This other flier won our region qualifier with a low score which would surely have been higher if his birds had not flown to high to score after the first 10 minutes.He is trying all his tricks to bring them down before June finals.I'll let him know you are getting it in stock and see if he'll order some from you.Do you know how much it will cost and what the net weight of the package is?I'll probably be interested in some myself allright just let me browse and see if I want to order some other stuff.
Hey,they never charged me duty or brokerage fees for that last order!!Maybe because you sent it by mail instead of UPS.??
Thanks again,
Kel.

Kelly,
Your friend needs to put his birds on a heavy protein intake to keep his birds within viewing distance. He needs to experiment with Peas feeding for a week and record the progress.

Kelly,
I fly the yoyo system to keep my birds down.
If they are flying too high on fly day then I know that I overfed the day before. With the yoyo system the feeding before fly day is VERY small. You should be stressing the birds. The weak birds (culls) will start landing early.
Having said that I have 3 culls in the team that I have to pull out and feed extra in order to keep enough birds in the team. I have not tried using mineral powder (yet).

I use the Natural Antwerp Pick Stone in the breeding loft.
It looks like a small brick and can be left in the loft at all times.
The birds will pick at it only when they need the extra minerals and it lasts a long, long time.

Hunh,,fed it to them on their food twice and they are sure not fussy about the taste.Anyone else had that experience with this powder?Wondering if it would be better just mixed in with the grit,or will they get used to it??
