Pigeons are from the Columbidae family and are some of the most adaptable birds in the world. There are 351 species in the family, and they’re distributed across the entire world, except in the Sahara Desert, Antarctica and the upper Arctic. Pigeons are the most common garden bird in the UK and are frequently seen visiting the bird table or bird feeder, so what do pigeons eat?
Pigeons are non-fussy omnivores but can’t consume insects in vast quantities. They prefer seeds, fruits and berries and will happily eat until they’re more than full, hence why well-fed pigeons are generally quite plump! Pigeons will scavenge whatever food they need, particularly if they live in cities where natural food sources are lacking.
The humble pigeon is a generally underestimated bird. Pigeons are capable of performing complex tasks and are exceptionally intelligent, not just amongst birds but amongst all animals. Pigeons can also sense the Earth’s magnetic field, providing them with a sixth sense. Thirty-two pigeons have received the Dickin Medal, which is the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross!
Pigeons are a common garden bird and feed on bird tables, feeders, trees and the ground all year round.
Hello. I received the birds today they look great. Thank you very much.
The Hen is here! Awesome bird & I can feel the power just holding her. She is very calm pigeon & that is always a plus. Thanks so much!
Hi this is Nate from Wisconsin. I just wanted to let you know the Andalusian cockbird made it here in good shape today. Thanks again!
Hi Don, birds are adapting well. I like their presentaion & calmness. Looks like they will fit in with my birds. I see what you mean about the BB. We'll see how he produces. Might b a genetic thing & go away when crossed with and unrelated hen.
Regards
Jim

I luck to have an original copy of the book. Need i say i myself have of the Bronze chequers in my stock loft Well wishes to you
Hello Dale, Donnie & Pam
Firstly, I would like to thank Dale for his persistence yesterday. Both
Linda and I were so sorry that your crossing was so difficult.
Originally, you texted me that you would wait for us---so of course we
would wait for you!!
We had a very pleasant return home with clear roads etc. But were
extremely tired and went to bed early!! I am extremely happy with the
selection of birds you sent even the replacement for 20512.
It was a pleasure dealing with the Zehr family. I spent time with the
birds in the garage last night and today speaking "Zehr Sion" to them.
Think they understood---at least until they learn "Trini Sion". Lol!!!
Thank you all once again.
Wishing you all and your families a very Happy Holiday Season!!!
Dave and Linda
The 3 birds arrived this morning in Aurora, Colorado safe and sound. Thanks. We'll do business again!!
