Recommended Posts

painted my flocked half shells with it this year and have used them all summer and allthough my bigges t bag has only been 58 i have had plenty of 15 to 25 sessions but we dont have large numbers here at the moment, i dont like wasting dead birds to the flies. i put them on modified eezee wobblers and use a rotary or flapper or both , i think if they spot the flapper or rotary the fixate on it and come within range

Research has shown that Pigeons do indeed see UV light...back in the 70,s. However during daylight its not visible..so I would imagine unless you go lamping for pigeons it would be a complete waste of money.

 

How does that work then? I was under the impression that the UV light that pigeons may or may not see is reflected light from the object,,in this case the white paint,,and would be seen in daylight. Insects have a similar ability to discern suitable flower targets for feeding. Humans cannot see UV in daylight but if you shine a UV light source around your flower borders at night some will light up,reflecting the UV light . Remember that broadly, all colour is varied degrees of reflection from an object,,which is why there isn't much at night !
