ive heard pigeon poop isa good way to fertilize plants, waswondering what ur thought on this are, an can it be used on coco??
 
pigeon poop is probably pretty harsh like chicken poop...you have to let it sit out and season for a bit...don't directly put it on your coco...plus its going to smell horrible...if you are going to grow in coco i'd suggest getting the correct nutrients for it :D
 
lol i wouldnt know because where i live i rarely see a pigeon and sounds like a hassle to follow it all day and wait for it too poop so i can scoop it up

thanks, use coco already, with canna nutes, just had been offered some pigeon poop, an was wondering if it wasof any use to me cheers
 
Pigeon poop is great once it's cured - wars have been fought over it. You wouldn't want to use fresh stuff though.

I would not use this in a coco grow. You want premineralized liquid fertilizers - there is nothing organic in a coco grow to break down the guano into an available nutrient form.
 
When handling pigeon poop, always wear a dust mask. There are things in pigeon poop than can really mess up the human body, especially if inhaled as a dust. I own pigeons and won't get into the scientific medical terms, but their droppings can be a health hazard.
My Dr. knows I own pigeons so if I ever get something strange, he has a heads up about the pigeons.
I would recommend wearing a dust mask when handling any animal waste that will be used for fertilizer. A paper mask, 99 cents. A doctor visit, $100+.

It's called Histoplasmosis and it's serious shit! Safety first folks.;-)

Unless you housed, fed and cared personally for the pigeons whose poop you planned on harvesting (domesticated), or knew a lot about their feeding habits, I would not use the stuff for indoor gardening. Pigeons that live in urban areas are scavengers; they've likely been feeding on stale bread, spoiled fast food and perhaps a few berries here and there.
 
yeah, the reason we use seabird guano is because its fish broken down by a bird, ready to be brewed into tea for plants. plus all poop has to sit for years before it can be used for plants
