Throughout the ages, pigeons have played a variety of roles in our lives. In ancient times, pigeons were used as a medium and friend for people to convey information; Now, many squares and farms also raise lovely pigeons. So, what do pigeons eat and lay eggs quickly? What should we pay attention to when raising pigeons?
Pigeons naturally eat cereals. Wheat, sorghum, corn, peanuts and beans are common foods. After eating, let pigeons move in an open space. This can exercise pigeons and improve their physical quality. They will lay eggs faster and more nutritious. Pigeon’s food can’t be changed at will, because its habit of eating won’t easily change its taste, and their habit is to eat when they’re hungry.
Although pigeons are easy to raise, they also pay attention to their food. They should choose to mix and match two or more kinds of food. In addition to Cereals, they can also give them some natural feed such as green vegetables and wheat seedlings without pesticides, as well as mineral feed such as yellow sand, salt and eggshell powder. The mineral feed needs to be crushed, mixed with water, kneaded into a round ball and dried, Then break the feed. In summer, you can add some hemp seeds to the food of pigeons. The function of hemp seeds is to improve the nutrition of pigeons, strengthen their own absorption function, grow stronger, the hair of pigeons will be smooth and not afraid of rain, so you don’t need to add them in winter.
What we also need to know is that pigeons can’t eat rice, which will lead to diarrhea and poor digestion; You can’t eat pine nuts and melon seeds. These foods have shells and will get stuck in the throat of pigeons; Can not eat cooked food, and food containing a lot of sugar and oil, can not digest, and may also cause respiratory diseases. We should not only pay attention to feeding, but also play outside. Pigeons in the square can not be fed casually. Some children go out to play and want to tease when they see lovely pigeons, but we must pay attention to what they can’t eat and don’t let their good intentions do bad things.
When raising young pigeons, you must be careful. Pay more attention to eating and don’t make mistakes to avoid pigeon illness. Pigeons like to be clean. Their houses must be cleaned regularly to give them a comfortable living environment.
