Pigeons’ food is mainly plant-based food. Whether they are wild pigeons or domestic pigeons, they are mainly plant-based food, mainly including corn, wheat, beans, grains, etc. They generally do not eat insects and other meat. . Pigeons are accustomed to eating raw food, and artificial feeding can also adapt to cooked food. Pellet mixed feed can also be fed in artificial breeding farms.

The activities of pigeons are characterized by being active during the day and returning to roost at night. Pigeons are very active during the day and eat and drink frequently. At night, they rest quietly in the shed nest. However, trained pigeons can fly in the dark or even at night if they do not return to their habitat before evening.

Key points of young pigeon breeding

Child pigeons within 5 to 6 weeks of age are at the turning point from being fed by parent pigeons to living independently, and the conditions for their feeding and management have changed significantly. Big changes occur, and the ability to adapt to external environmental conditions is very poor. If you are not careful, the growth and development of pigeons will be hindered or they will become sick. Therefore, this stage is particularly important for pigeon farms.

If conditions permit, the pigeons should be raised in a nursery bed for the first 15 days, which is dry and warm and easy to observe and manage. After 15 days, the weaned pigeons can be moved to the ground for cultivation. For those who do not have a nursery bed, they can be raised in groups on the ground, but the ground must be kept dry and clean. Bedding can be laid, but it must be replaced frequently.
