Why Cold Weather Requires a Different Feeding Approach

When temperatures drop, everything changes for your pigeons. Their bodies must work harder just to maintain heat. Even when they’re not flying long distances, cold weather increases your pigeons’ energy requirements—both during the day and especially at night when the temperatures dip even lower.

Think of it like this: just like how you’d burn more energy trying to stay warm in freezing weather, so do your pigeons. They’re burning calories even while sitting in the loft. That means their feeding program must support those added energy demands without overfeeding or causing weight gain that could affect their race form.

This is exactly why cold weather pigeon feeding needs a slightly different approach compared to what you’d use in warmer seasons.
