I couldn't agree more re pigeons being very selective eaters. My Jax gobbles up shelled sunflower seeds & hemp seeds before you can say 'Boo'! She also particularly loves organic green lentils, flax seed, brown rice, spinach leaf, and Trill budgie food in small quantities. The 'boring' food that remains in the bowl usually consists of barley, wheat and bulgar wheat. I often leave this food for a few hours before topping it up again with interesting variety so that she will eat some of it through hunger to balance her diet.
Strangely, she won't touch peanuts, corn in any shape or form, whole peas or split peas or unshelled sunflower seeds  Lindi

And I thought my birds were cherry-pickers!!
I know with my birds if I have them on a certain mix of seed for longer than a week they STOP eating. So I always have to have like 3 different mixes of seed on hand every week! Funny birds. Hilary Dawn

Well you know what it is? They're like humans, they get bored with the same old thing - even if it's their favorite. Garye's like that. I've seen her turn her beak up on some of her favorites simply because she's bored with getting it all the time. So I try to switch around every now and then.
Pigeons like to be surprised I guess.
