What do pigeons eat?
A. Naturally, pigeons eat only seeds and grains. Wild pigeons may also eat bread, popped corn, and bits of food dropped by people. Pigeons do not eat worms, insects, or meat. The best food for pigeons is a mixture of quality grains. Premixed sacks of feed are typically available at any feed and seed stores. A typical 50-pound premixed bag of general-purpose pigeon food consists of Canadian field peas, popcorn, Milo, hard wheat, maple peas, oat groats, red millet, white millet, canary grass seed, rice, and hemp seed. I supplement the feed by mixing in popcorn kernels, also purchased at the feed and seed store in a 50-pound bag.
