I would insist on adding pellet with added vitamins to your pigeon's food mix. I give mine Harrison's bird food. It contains vitamin D3 and B12 (and many more) which she only could get in the nature via direct sun exposure and soil. They say omega 6 and 3 ratio is also important in pigeons.

Yes my pet pigeon is very picky sometimes doesn't want seeds. They also should get other stuff like cracked oyster shells which I've tried and sometimes she won't eat it. I also give her calcium glubonate which they need especially since mine is laying unfertilized eggs. But thanks for video. I've tried salad greens she won't touch it. Not sure why. My pigeon likes peanuts but not all the time. She wants cheese and I know it's bad for her so I only give her a little mozzerella

Mine also like endives (from the fridge and cut in very small pieces, it must be crisp, usualy the white parts), the green leaves of cabbages, brussels sprouts, beans (all the vegetable not only the seed), laituces, but the bird prefers arugula salad (which is very green and stronger, probably better than regular laituce, it also smell something), lentils, corn. I feed it in the morning and evening with seeds, and I give vegetables during the day. I also add sorts of stones and shells. Even if pigeons can eat big pieces mine prefers small ones, not bigger than a sunfloyer seed. If you mix the vegetables with the seeds the pigeon will eat the seeds first. I've read the onions are toxic for birds, be carefull. Green beans seems to be favourited, because pigeon can't eat it without your help, it also smell a lot and I think the bird like that smell.

If he can't keep any food down, take him to a vet. Rice isn't commonly given as food for pigeons, so maybe get a good quality seed mix also. I can't offer any medical advice on this channel so always go to your avian vet for medical help!

See, now I was told NOT to put grit in with the feed because they might not eat it? I was told by pigeon friends to leave a half a tablespoon out per bird per day. Throw away what they don’t eat daily, this is so confusing 😂
@MyPetPigeon1
Жыл бұрын
Yes, it is confusing! It's because every bird is a little different. Mine would eat the grit out of the bowl as she needed it. But I did end up dumping some every time I refreshed the bowl with new seed. And I don't like wasting so I changed what I do with her grit. I now just sprinkle a big pinch on the mat next to her seed bowl along with the crushed egg shells and she eats it all or leaves some for tomorrow. 1/2 tablespoon seems like a lot though, maybe try less and you won't have to throw any away. It's not like it goes bad anyway, it's just rocks!

hello yellow , don't give them raw lentils soak them for 6-8 or 12 hours and it's really good if you cook (more like heat them mildly in warm water) in a utensil that don't contain Teflon and make sure to check what kind of cooking vessel are safe for birds (non stick are not though earthen pot are safe) and id personally say give pigeons soaked lentils that's safer and they like corn so add them into your diet and also mung bean and sorghum and you can provide them boiled pasta too .

He doesn't eat on his own he tries but the seeds just end up flying somewhere else so we've been hand feeding him. O also he has a habit of high whistled peeping and flapping his wings uncontrollably whenever hes out of his cage so im wondering if theres anything wrong with that or will just go away eventually

If your bird don't like peanuts it's because your feeding crappy peanuts... All pigeons like peanuts.. if not it would be like finding a human who don't like pizza or ice cream... When giving nuts They must be the highest quality and crushed or broken or halved .... You find roasted fresh unsalted peanuts or sunflower seeds at no less than 3.00 a pound.... I believe your bird will eat it.
