Compared with other poultry or birds, pigeons have their own unique living habits. First, pigeons are monogamous birds. Pigeons are selective to their spouses when they are sexually mature, and once they are paired, they are single-minded and inseparable. Not promiscuous like other poultry. In the same flock, if the number of male and female pigeons is not equal, there may be two male or two female same-sex spouses. After pigeons are paired, both male and female pigeons participate in nesting, hatching and feeding young pigeons. It will take a long time for pigeons to reunite after their widowhood. In production, in order to cultivate excellent varieties, improve the quality of pigeon varieties and avoid the variety degradation caused by inbreeding, artificial selection can be carried out in a planned way. If the male and female pigeons are paired freely, they can be disassembled and paired again, but it is very time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, in breeding, it is necessary to master this characteristic of pigeons and make an artificial selection plan as soon as possible to prevent free pairing. In addition, after the adult pigeons lose their spouses, promiscuity may also occur during the estrus season due to their strong sexual desire, thus disturbing the birds. In order to keep the birds quiet, the pigeons in heat can be paired in time or temporarily isolated.

Under the right conditions, wild pigeons can breed up to eight times a year, and two young pigeons will be born each time. The frequency of pigeon breeding depends on the adequacy of food. It takes about 18 ~ 19 days for pigeons to hatch and break their shells. Parents will feed these little guys with a special pigeon milk. The newly hatched pigeon will double its weight in one day, but it will take four days to open its eyes. After about two months, pigeons can leave the nest.

Pigeon food is mainly plant food, whether it is wild pigeon or domestic pigeon, it is mainly plant food, mainly corn, wheat, beans, grains and so on. And generally don't eat meat like insects. Pigeons are used to eating raw materials, and artificial feeding can also adapt to cooked food. Granular mixed feed can also be used in artificial farms.

Pigeons are characterized by daytime activities and homing at night. Pigeons are very active during the day. They eat and drink water frequently. Rest quietly in the shed at night. However, trained homing pigeons can fly at night or even at night if they don't return to their habitat before evening.

Pigeons have a strong memory and even a strong conditioned reflex. For those who often take care of it, get close to it and remember it. If they are treated roughly at ordinary times, it will often be detrimental to feeding management. Pigeons are also habitual animals. It takes some time to get used to it if you want to change your original living habits. Therefore, routine feeding management procedures and environmental conditions should be fixed in pigeon feeding management. Thereby ensuring higher production efficiency.
