Domestic Pigeons (14 Pics): Care, Pros and Cons

You can feed domestic pigeons with barley, fruits, and vegetables. For example, potatoes, carrots, or apples.

#11 An adult bird should eat at least 50 grams of feed per day.

Often, when pigeons are raised for meat, boiled eggs and crushed peas are added to their diet.

#12 Wild, urban and domestic pigeons have very different lifespans.

Due to low winter temperatures, predators and not always available food supply, a wild pigeon lives from three to five years.
