Pigeon Care

The pigeons are all doing well. I'm not flying any birds until spring, we have way too many hawks around here now. I've changed my pigeon care regimen slightly, each day the birds get fresh fortified red grit from Purgrain, fresh plain water, and pigeon feed.

The pigeon feed is mostly European Supreme mix from Purgrain, I sometimes add a little of the Purgrain pigeon candy mix, and I add corn if it's cold outside. Once a week I add a cup of rabbit food pellets which I grind up slightly in the blender.

I'm still not moving around too well so John and Mary have been a big help with the pigeon chores, helping to carry feeders, grit bowls, and drinkers.
