Just a quick remark about giving greens...especially for pet pigeons...

Squeaks loves greens! I didn't know that until one day, while making a salad, I dropped a piece of dark green lettuce. Squeaks went after it faster than I could bend down to pick it up. Soooo, I would pinch off a small piece and drop it. Even with more than one small piece, he would nail them faster than I could drop them!

If you have a pet pij who is out and about, play the "greens game!" Drop some small pieces and see what happens! Fun for human and bird alike!

Hugs and Scritches

Yes, our pigeons love their lettuce! But it is the woodies that are the lettuce experts, I could swear that they gobble a leaf in a few seconds, I can understand how devastating a flock could be when feeding on crops.
