A QUICK INTRODUCTION TO PIGEONS
Offering an accurate pigeon guide on every type of pigeon is nearly impossible. However, we can focus on the basic commonalities of pigeons and will try our best to offer you guidelines which would be helpful, useful, and informative. Pigeons can make remarkably fun and intelligent companions when they have been well bred, well raised, and well cared for. Your commitment to your pigeons, will almost completely determine how well owning a pigeon works out for you. Pigeons are able to bond to their humans and are able to develop relationships with the people.
Select your pigeon carefully. You know what your intentions are & what your interests are so that you are bringing home the right pigeon for you. Never settle for a breeder that makes you uncomfortable, or isn’t interested in the health or socialization of the birds.
Don’t be afraid to try other breeders if you need to. If you ever bring new birds home make sure to wash their claws and beak properly and keep them separate for minimum at least for first 2 weeks, never mix them with your home birds right away in your loft.
Feeding pigeons seems like a relatively simple proposition. However, choosing the best pigeon feed does require a bit of understanding as it relates to how the pigeon digests and ingests food. Not all pigeon foods are created equal, and many pigeon owners have taken to creating their own brand of pigeon diet in order to compensate for the often misguided quality of commercial pigeon foods.
When feeding pigeons, you should account for about 400 grams of feed per adult bird to make sure that they are receiving enough high quality nutrition. A diet that is relatively low in the traditional fiber based bird foods is recommended for all pigeons. the basic idea to emulate the basic dietary needs of a pigeon in order to offer them the nutrient rich and low fat content that well fed pigeons thrive on.
Corn based feeds are a double edged sword. A certain amount of corn is a good idea when feeding pigeons, especially during the colder months, simply because there are fats within the corn that help insulate the pigeons. However, this same fat content can create a hefty pigeon, which is unhealthy.
Rather than opting for corn based diets, many experts recommend feeding pigeons a diet that is loaded with one of their all-time favorites. A diet rich in dried field peas makes for a very happy, and healthy, pigeon. While this is most definitely on the list of favorites, it is one of their few favorite food items that is good for their muscles, their feathers, their bones, and their internal operations all while giving them a tasty treat. Sorghum is another favorite member of the wheat group that pigeons love to eat and can be relied on for a steady base of nutrition.
This particular wheat is very small and easy for the pigeons to crack open, easy for them to digest, and easy on the wallet when compared to some other grain products with fewer health benefits.
If you can throw in some barley for your pigeons from time to time, this is an excellent treat that allows for additional hearty sustenance. Barley can become expensive when purchased regularly, but the occasional addition makes for a fantastic vitamin packed treat.
Feeding pigeons the additional wheat grains can be a very positive experience, especially if you go for the redder grains that are harder on the surface. Pigeons are not fond of very soft wheat that refuses to give their beaks a bit of a work out. However, any wheat grain that can be offered that gives them a good crunch is good sign of nutritional content as well as pigeon feeding pleasure. Feeding pigeons a structured diet helps keep their immune and digestive systems tracking well.
feeding pigeons a strong mixture that is high in dried field peas, hard wheat, sorghum, and low in corn can offer them a solid dietary plan that they will enjoy eating about as much as anything they could discover in the wild.
Always use a well-balanced high grain food, and always make sure your pigeon’s living space is cleaned. Your pigeon or pigeons are going to need daily attention and care. Make sure you have set aside the appropriate amount of daily time to spend. if your intention is to train your pigeon for a specific purpose, commence with the proper training. If you don’t know for certain things about your pigeons don’t hesitate to ask someone with more knowledge and experience.
