Bleeh Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 as any one used bird puller as it added to wheat to stop the birds wandering any advice reguards.Dave No, but there are plently of things you can eaisly do to stop wondering birds, that have worked for centrys and still work today. Try using straw rides outside of release pens, or give the birds longer within the release pens before letting them out. Keep hoppers both in, and around the pens too - you want to give the birds the ability to wonder slightly (between two hoppers, for instance) but not too far. Make sure that they have plenty of cover, and enough ground cover to keep the birds warm at night. You want to think what a bird might need, but doesn't have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretboy111 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I got given a tub of it; used it last year. Not sure whether it works or anything though, but made me want to eat the wheat as it smells so nice. I applied it to buckets of wheat, instead of bags for hoppers.

rjimmer Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I brought a free sample home from the game fair. It smells like aniseed but there's none it it. I gave it to an angler to mix with his groundbait and he said it appeared to do the job for carp. I'm just about to order some! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3xspringer Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Aniseed and split maize mixed in to the wheat does it for me. been using it for the last few years and seems to help, first year put 20% on bird return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanielman Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Been using it for about three seasons now hand feeding, birds seem to hold better we add it to the feeders as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M ROBSON Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I've used several tubs of Bird Puller and lots of Aniseed oils. The best stuff by far is a cheap bottle of Ouzo!!! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmm_a_luv_a_fish_supper_me Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Ive used the Anaseed Oil on just one drive again this year i mix it with vegetable oil & put it in an old (washed out) anti bacterial spray bottle I spray it on the inside of the hopper/feeder & on the spring every time we add wheat Also spray it round the base of the feeder Does it work ? Well the drive i use it on is the nearest one to the big commercial shoot next door & theres always decent birds on the drive ! so i'm feared not to use it really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Aniseed and similar spices do work, but be warned. Birds can get swirched off from the attraction, and then wander for other food. Therefore do not treat all of your feed, hence offering an alternative. Also remember that birds need to drink. Birds will wander for food, water and grit. Establish pheasant service stations, feeder, drinker, grit tub. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
