Pigeons as Pets Beginners Guide: Episode 4 - Feeding & Nutrition

What do i do if there isnt any bird feed to pigeons where i live? :D I live in denmark and here is pigeons not common pet, so what can i do to make sure my pigeon get what it needs? And i LOVE your vids! Keep going :D

I have my pigeon now!! He hasn’t shown any interest in any of the treats I’ve bought him... so I’m struggling to get him to trust me and feel comfortable around me.
Other than food I have no idea how to make him understand I am a source of care!
The treats I have tried are millet, sunflower seeds (all kinds) and peanuts

Hi my pigeon is having feather issues. His feathers were smooth and healthy when i adopted him but now the barbs don't hold and it gives him a frizzy frayed kind of texture. He's thankfully molting right now but what can i feed him yo keep his feathers in good condition

I just found your channel, and I love it. I watch a few that talk in depth about parrots and birds of prey, and always wished that there was one for columbiformes (I'm a bit obsessed). The channels I've found for doves and pigeons are racers that just show them fly or doing cute things or breeding and brooding, which is great but, columbid talk is greater!
Please keep making these videos :)

Hello, could you please do a video on how to tame pigeons that are 2 months old? I just received 4 homing pigeons that were not hand raised. Thank you

How much should seeds should you give a pigeon a hand fill? A little pinch? A bit of both??

Where’s episode 5!! Teach us how to tame them and make them like us

Whats a good food i can find on Amazon

Great advice explained clearly . Thanks

say, can I crush chicken eggshells to provide calcium as grit? Or even crush cuttlebones and oystershells?

Hi! I love pigeons and have finally convinced my husband that they would make a great pet. I'm wondering if pigeons have the same sensitivities as more exotic birds? (Nonstick/teflon, candles, etc.)

Thank you for making videos about pigeon as pet

im very interested in a pigeon and this series has helped me learn alot. i really appreciate your videos so thank you very much.

I just recently bought a pigeon and was told he was on a chicken layer pellet diet with the occasional seed mix. Is it fine to feed pigeon layer pellets?

My neighbor used to have a pigeon, she had to move recently and gave it to us, she only fed him bread, ever since he was a baby, he’s only eaten wet bread, he won’t eat anything else, I recently found out bread isn’t actually healthy for birds, how do I get him to eat something else?

Being new to pigeon keeping, could you please tell me the brands of seed/pellet and grit you use or which you would recommend feeding? And, should they have full access to food all day or a certain amount at certain times?

I've been trying to convince my mother that pigeons would be nice to own. But we are going to move into a apartment and my mom will have work and me and my siblings have school. Do you think that I would still be able to own pigeons even with my family and me gone for quite some time at in the day?

Super informative! Thank you once again.

Evening.I’m a bit desperate for advice please: have a 5 wk old rescue Wood P and he’s still not eating (drinking,yes) on his own.He has munched a few tiny seeds,but tosses the slightly larger ones.They are all sml beginner seeds.What to do to get him weaned off me?!?Thanks in advance 🌸

Very informative video, and you are very thorough, but your lip smacking drives me insane!

I recently also added bananas, strawberry, and little raised

Not sure if it's a boy or girl yer

Superb,full of knowledge,covers all aspects of nutrition.thank you for sharing.

One of my friends has recently rescued a wild pigeon from a eagle. He gave the responsibility of taking it's care to me. Now I am looking for videos upon taking care of pigeons!

Kay Tee brand racing premium seed blend has calcium, D, and is actually a complete pour and forget feed. Albeit it's VERY EXPENSIVE.

Could I blend the field peas for my diamond doves ? Is this a possibility or a safety hazard? And thank you for sharing your knowledge

Can I feed "parrot chop" (basically, chopped-up & fresh veggies, greens, mixed with cooked grains) to my pigeon as the main bulk of their day to day diet?

My pet pigeon seems to only eat sunflower seeds & sesame seeds. She kicks other seeds I’ve tried on the floor . She flies down into the kitchen to eat salt occasionally. Do you think this mix is ok? I’d love to know what she will eat! She’s an Australian Rock Pigeon

I saw a pigeon for adoption, like 40 mins away from me. It is a baby male, but I don’t think my parents will let me have a bird sadly.

I love the info. I just wish you would keep the volume of your voice contestant. You go from normal voice to just about whispering. It gets a bit annoying to continually turn the volume up and down to hear what you are saying.

A collared dove with a badly injured eye recently found us (assuming he got in a scrap with another bird). After the initial stress he regained his appetite but he refuses to drink or bathe on his own. We wrap him in an old t-shirt and dip his beak in the water which works and he drinks a lot like that. He still preens himself. We changed his vessel numerous times to no avail. Any tips?
