Can pigeons eat PARAKEET food??

Hi, this is pigeonkeeper!! i was wondering if pigeons can eat parakeet food because my baby pigeon that is almost 32 months keeps eating it??

Tell me!!

Thanks

Just add a bit to his regular pigeon mix or give it as a treat when he has finished his reg food.....it's just a variety of seeds and can do no harm but it isn't a complete diet for a pigeon.......matter of fact, most parakeet mixes are not a complete diet for parakeets!!

I always add a little of my parakeets seed to my pigeon mix as my pigeons love it. This only makes up a small proportion of my overall seed mix though. I personally use Trill brand as it contains a good percentage of vitamins and other minerals important for bird health.

Thank goodness this was the subject of your thread...the truncated version on the home page just read "can pigeons eat parakeet ?"...so I was thinking this was gonna be a rather upsetting discussion....(!)
