ok.. 1) love your vids.. they are great.. 2.) What is the ratio to the mix? and what is in the mix.. and to what stage? ex- laying hens.. racing.. detailed recipies would be nice.. thank you
I have a question. I have a standard rescue pigeon, who is blind with a splayed leg. She's a pet and likes to hang out on my lap and get cuddles and kisses but she does not fly. I've trained her to locate her food and water bowl in her cage but she only eats small parakeet bird seed. She throws out large pieces, needless to say she seems very underweight, her breast bone protrudes past her breast muscle. Do you have any recommendations? I want her to gain weight, but not be miserably hyperactive with no way to expend excess energy since she can't see or fly.
+Castaway I have my pigeons in the house. They like eating flock grower crumbles (for baby chickens, ducks, quail). It has a higher protein level than normal flock feed and it's easy for the pigeon to break and eat. I also mix various small seeds with it. My pigeons (actually all my birds) hate the peas and milo seeds they use as fillers in commercial pigeon food. Hope this helps.
Phoena71 Thanks! My pigeon (rock dove) does not have any stones in his crop. And I'm afraid he will choke to death on a corn kernel. Is this a myth? Can I feed him the flock growler crumbles without feeding him stones? Can he eat corn without stones? He eats finch bird seeds.
if he likes the finch bird seed but you want to give more, you can mix it with the crumbles fr more vitamins, minerals, and proteins. I don't think you need stones or grit when feeding him easily digestible feed. But you can purchase small bags from your local farm supply or pet store. I use oyster shell grit for all my birds. Hope this helps.
Why did I bother buying a good brand of pigeon food when the wood pigeons in !y garden do not want to touch it ! I can only suppose that they got used to eating what the other gardens birds eat ( except Niger seeds ). Honestly, I would like to get them to leave the rest of the birds alone ! Please help. Thank you.
Groganate98 me....2 siblings! Never intended to have them as my husband found both of them on the side of a house! The nest got destroyed by the workers so he took them home and I raised them.....beautiful little creatures....very affected, very smart and very funny little birds! They make amazing pets! Dragon and Monster are their names, and both are female
WOW!!! Anonymous keyboard hecklers...how brave and intelligent you all are. We are all so very impressed. Get out and get a job. Try becoming USEFUL members of society. And try growing up a little while you're out.
'keep them on the same food' wild pigeons actively search for different food, its what they like to do. And your feeders are too small and awkward, the pigeon had to close its eyes to protect itself from the wire bars, get a proper feeder if you want to 'reduce stress levels'. It looks like you keep them in a prison, just letting them out when they have to panic and find their way back. And you are in the UK!!The shame.
PIGEONS DESPERATELY NEED HELP !! 90% of pigeons in cities die in their first year of their lifes. The others don't live longer than 2-3 years. In nature, they can live up to 12-15 years ! They have nothing to eat, they are forced to eat trash, they get sick and die, freeze to death. Pigeons can NOT naturally live in cities. They are only here because of breeders !
Excuse me I have a Dove bird, I am wondering if I can make my own Dove food, I notice my bird doesn't like all the seed that come in the bag that I usually get at Petco plus is kind of pricy and I'm afraid to change to a different kind since one time I purchase a small box from walmart thinking my bird was going to eat I'm not so sure it did eat some but for sure he was not having a normal stool instead it was watery stool, can you please recommend how to buy my own seeds?
they sound like they are ill or depressed, depressed birds don't clean themselves. Probably lack space, natural light, calmness, shelter....am I right?
The pigeons at mcdonalds like eating French fries and nuggets

I was feeding a pigeon and it's not eating anything
Nice
pigeons are okay don't harm anyone and they are clever, I love all birds.
Hello. Do you mix the grit into the feed?
You can if you want, most feed grit separately
Why did I bother buying a good brand of pigeon food when the wood pigeons in !y garden do not want to touch it !
I can only suppose that they got used to eating what the other gardens birds eat ( except Niger seeds ).
