In addition to miscellaneous grains, green feed and mineral feed such as vegetables, cabbages and wheat seedlings can also be supplied. The proportion of mineral feed is: 3 parts of yellow mud and yellow sand, 2 parts of hydrated lime, 1 part of salt, .5 part of shell powder or eggshell powder, and .5 part of charcoal. After being crushed, they are mixed with water and kneaded into balls to dry, and when being fed, the balls are broken and placed in a pigeon house.
Feed twice a day, once at about 7: am and once at about 4: 3 pm. The feeding amount in the morning accounts for 1/3 of its diet, and the feeding amount in the afternoon accounts for 2/3 of its diet. The feeding amount of each adult pigeon is about 5 grams per day, which can be appropriately increased during training. Feed should be given to pigeons after they return to the pigeon house, so that they can form a conditioned reflex of returning to the house to eat, which is conducive to homing.
