AboutStacie G. Expertise I can answer questions related to health, care, behavior, and breeding. If you have an emergency situation, please take it to a veterinarian with avian experience. Unfortunately I do not know much about actually racing pigeons, but I do show exhibition king pigeons.
Experience I have raised pigeons for approximately 12 years now. I got started in the hobby by rescuing an injured feral when I was 12 years old and successfully rehabilitated him. Unfortunately, he was not releasable and so I kept him until he passed about two years ago. From that feral, I actually realized that pigeons were great companions and I had dismissed any previous misconceptions I had heard about them.
Now I am focusing my attention to the show king although I do have a few racing homers, utility kings, and MFC helmets.

Expert: Stacie G. Date: 7/19/2008 Subject: Wat baby pigeons eat?
Question as simple as the subject. What do they eat? and is there anything they eat besides special pigeon food?
Answer Hello,
Well, it really does depend upon what age the baby is. From days 1-4, they rely heavily upon the parents production of pigeon milk, which is high in proteins and fats. As the babies get older, the crop milk is gradually replaced by seeds and grains. By about a month old, the pigeon is generally eating on its own. Does this help? Anymore questions?
