Pigeon Favorite food
Like all animals and birds pigeons are growing animals and may need a proper supply of diet including most nutrients to keep them healthy and disease free. As they fly they should be healthy so as to spread diseases in the general environment. Young pigeons when new born are fed on pigeon milk produced by the male and female pigeons. This milk is very essential for initial growing and are hence fed this milk for at least a week after the hatching of the birds from the eggs.
 

As they grow they are fed grains. Pigeons mostly feed upon grains made from proteins and fish and chicken grit. These grit mixture is an essential nutrition.

Usually the pigeons are fed around one tablespoon per bird everyday of grains and chicken and fish grits.

 

A tablespoon consists of around one pound of grain and is sufficient for a growing bird. Water supply to the pigeon should also be checked. A well fed pigeon should not drink water right after it has consumed the grain as it would lead the grain to swell in the stomach leading the pigeon to fell sick due to overeating.
