Question
Hi, I've been told that pigeons are allergic to wheat. Is this true or not?

Answer
Hello Kyla and thank you for your post.
I had a Pigeon that ate wheat as a treat.  About once a week I would go to a farm and get some wheat (we also had horses at that time), and my Pigoen loved it and never had any problems.
Pigeons are very hardy birds, and they have the ability to eat things that most other birds can't eat.

Good luck and God Bless.
