Hi Stacie,

First of all thanks for your continues support & advice. My question is, iam feeding rice for my pigions. is rice good for health? is it advicable to feed rice daily?

Answer
Hi Deva,

Is that all you are feeding? I wouldn't advise feeding rice as it is high in carbohydrates and pigeons need a balanced diet, quite like you and I. I would suggest purchasing a bag of wild bird seed with many different types of seeds. You can also ask any pet or feed store if they carry any pigeon or dove food.

Here is a link to what ingredients should be fed to pigeons:

I find the pictures to be particularly helpful!

If you have any other questions, please ask!

Thanks,
Stacie
