Which Pigeon Food to Use
Being a pigeon owner means that you need to decide on which type of pigeon food that
is best for your birds. One of the first things that you need to take
into consideration is the breed of pigeon that you have.
Different breeds my require something different in their food which
means that you need to be careful on what you feed them. The ordinary
street pigeon will eat just about anything, which is not good for their
diet. However, a captive pigeon is
going to require special attention when it comes to their feeding if
they are going to live long healthy lives and be productive. No matter
if you are racing them or breeding them you need to pay special
attention to just what you are putting in the food bowl. Although you
may think that meat such as worms are going to be sufficient but you
need to think again. These birds are special creatures and the better
you feed them the better they are going to be.
Ingredients in your Pigeon Food
Wheat is the one thing that all types of food should contain regardless
of the breed that you have. In reality, there should be a variety of
different types of wheat in order for them to get the best of nutrition.
There are also other ingredients that you should be looking for as
well, depending upon the type of bird that you have. These include,
dried field peas, hemp seed, maple peas, white millet, hard wheat, oat
groats, and even canary grass. All of these ingredients are going to
make up the best pigeon food that you could feed your birds. The mixture
and the amounts of each ingredient are also very important to your
birds overall health. When you are breeding them or using them for
racing or carrying, you want to make sure that your birds can withstand
the elements. You also need to ensure they are healthy and strong in
order to win a race or to carry the message to its destination. The
right amount of vitamins and minerals are going to take you and your
birds a long way. Believe it or not, your birds are going to like the
taste and even the texture of their food and they can be picky.
