How do you raise pigeons? These practical little care tips are very useful
In the past, fanciers who had achieved race results often shared their experience of what they fed, and many of these things were quite bizarre, such as feeding insects, feeding snails, feeding tadpoles, and even letting @#@247@#@ drink human urine. Thinking carefully, pigeons do sometimes eat foods that do not belong to the grain and bean category. From a scientific point of view, some vitamins are not present in grains and beans. Although some can be synthesized in the pigeon's body, once there is a deficiency it will inevitably affect the pigeon's health. Some confined pigeons, when extremely deficient, will peck open and eat pigeon eggs, consuming the albumen and yolk. But truly going out to find insects for confined pigeons is not very suitable for city pigeon keepers. You might as well try the following method:
Take 3 kg of clean feed, break one fresh egg into it, stir thoroughly, dry it in the shade for half a day, then feed it to the pigeons, once a month.
This is because eggs are high in animal protein, and are also cheap and easy to obtain. However, be careful to prepare it fresh each time and to prevent unclean matter from outside the eggshell from contacting the feed. In the capital, there are fanciers who mixed human food oils (meat broth) with feed to feed pigeons and achieved a very good result at 1500 km. Abroad, there are also fanciers who feed pigeons diluted milk. In fact, the pigeon milk that old pigeons feed to their squabs is similar in composition to goat's milk.
