Hi guys just a quick one do you think you can overspice boilies? I'm currently putting 10% orange red from haiths and it's quite hot to the taste. I know we're different to carp so maybe over thinking cheers.

Carp, like parrots do not have the receptors for the heat of chillies. They enjoy other aspects of the flavour, but do not feel the heat like we do. You only have to see a Parrot eating a Scotch bonnet pepper to understand this.

I've been using up to 5% of hot chili and it did amazing. So, 10% of orange red would be possible.

But do they get the rampant squits afterwards or do they not care, it's only someone else's car roof after all.

What are you talking about? I kept 2 orange winged Amazon parrots for years, in know what they like and how they react.

It was a light hearted comment that shot over your head.
Never mind

Touchy subject for me. I work near the Thames and the Lesser Black Backed Gulls nest on the roof. They **** all over the cars in the car park. It's like bomb alley. Last week one had a direct hit on my head. Had to go in the washroom and wash my hair. It was like having a large egg cracked on your head. Not amused.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
