    Pigeon is a common bird around the world, along with a dove. These two birds are related to each other and live side by side. Pigeon is bigger from the two and the dove grows a little smaller in size and color. A young baby pigeon or dove are called squab. One interesting fact is that a pigeon have only forty taste buds, compared to a human that has thousands. The food may not taste so good with small number of taste buds, but pigeons keep eating it up.
    The pigeon is a granivorous bird. Keeping that in mind, they like to eat seeds and cereal grains, Cracked Corn,sunflower, wheat, barley, millet, Pigeon & Dove Seeds and peas. They will eat all of those seeds at any time of year, but some are more preferable in different times of year. In winter more oil based seed is desired to help them through the cold. When the molting season starts pigeons will change the diet. The same thing will happen in time of reproduction and raising young. It is best to feed pigeons with a mix of all seed so he will get all that he needs. Pigeon mom and dad that have a baby will need more diversified food to feed the young. The baby needs to grow and needs lots of nutrition.
    Best Pigeon Food
    - Cereals are good main diet of a normal pigeon. This food is made of 70% carbohydrates, about 10% of protein and 5-7% fat and minerals. These elements are important because they are rich in vitamins B and E, but lack vitamin A. Corn on the other hand does contain vitamin A.
    - Wheat is rich in carbohydrates and must be given in smaller amounts. Too much and your pigeon will become “fat”. So give it in a smaller doses.
    - Corn is very good for pigeons and must be included in the diet if you keep pigeons. Cracked Corn has high energy value, lots of proteins and it is good for pigeon digestibility. But if given in too much amounts it can also lead to weight gain as it is rich in calories.
    - Oat is not favorite by pigeons but is good for the feathers. It will help them in cold weather and build the muscles of these birds. It gives a good boost to the pigeon blood and nervous system. Do not give it to much if pigeons are laying eggs, as it is not so good for egg shell. Pigeons don’t like oats so much, but it is good for them.
    - Mix of Pigeon & Dove Seeds is great for a balanced pigeon diet.
    - Barley is good for pigeons in cold weather in the months of January and February. The young pigeons are not able to eat this food and it’s not good for their digestive track so give it only to adults. On the other hand adults will benefit from it, as it is producing a calming effect on the bird stomach and will reduce diarrhea. So place it in the pigeon diet as it will give lots of benefits.
    - Rye has a lower nutritional value for the pigeons than wheat or corn and it is not really so much beneficial for pigeons but can be given as their food.
    - Pulse - Pulse is good as it is very rich in protein (22-40%) but very low in fat (1-5%).They are particularly good for birds because of rich amount of phosphorus and calcium salts. They contain beneficial quantities of B vitamins, especially vitamin B1, but less carotene.
    - Peas contain about 22-26% protein, 50-52% no-nitrate substances, 0.1 to 2% fat and 4-5% cellulose. It is a good protein source. Birds will digest it very easily. It can be mixed in pigeon’s food in a ratio of 15-20%. Being rich in minerals it will help pigeons grow, along with the corn. It has good impact on pigeon’s organism development, increases resistance to sickness and reduces the fatigue.
    - Vetch is excellent nutrition for the pigeon nervous system. It is good to introduce it in smaller quantities in the pigeon diet (about 15%). If given in larger amounts it can give bowel problems to the birds. That’s why it is not recommended for young pigeons and must be given just to adult birds. It should be introduced slowly.
    Too often bird owners don’t know how to provide a proper diet to birds, including pigeons or doves. If this is the case birds can have health problems. If you are feeding pigeons in the wild then you don’t have to worry as pigeon will find other food sources in nature to supplement what it is not getting from you. But if you keep pet pigeons than it is important to educate yourself on what do pigeons eat. It is just common sense. The best thing is to buy ready pigeon and dove seed mix so you know the bird is getting what it needs for a healthy and long life.
