We're looking for a more affordable way to feed our wild piggy flock that visits us during winter. We're in a northern snowy rainy cold coastal climate, and usually sprinkle seed in the front yard. A lot of the cheap bird seed they won't eat in winter, which I'm assuming is because it's low...

Took some pics of the pigeons that hang out under the 59th St. bridge. There are usually much more than what my pics show and they love my cracked corn so today was a good feeding. :)

Hello everyone, I need a little help with what to feed my birds. I have been feeding them wild bird seed with whole green peas and sprouted wheat added in. Is this okay or should I do something different? My birds seem to be healthy. If I were to mix my own feed what would be the best...

What are the different mixes or feed that you can feed pigeon? Where are some of the places you can buy the food?

Hello. This is my first post. I found an injured pigeon on the shoulder of an entrance to an expressway. He was sitting by the side of the road. I threw a blanket on him and took him home. His beak was caked with blood and he has a large gash on his body under his wing. I cleaned his beak off...

Well, DH found an abandoned baby chicken in the street the other night, and brought her home. She is a three week old Plymouth Rock chick, in good health, extremely tame and people friendly. We will be keeping her for a few weeks, until she is large enough to join a flock my BIL keeps at his...

I just received this one about an hour ago .. It's been a long time since I've seen a duckling in such pitiful condition. The pictures are heartbreaking, so look at your own risk. I will be getting the duckling on a proper diet, starting antibiotics, getting it cleaned up, and pretty much...

I was wondering if anyone has fed cracked peas in their feed. I mix my own feed and have recently found a source for some cracked peas and was wondering if they would work to add to my mix. Thanx DaBaseballGuy

As you know, for a while I've been wondering what could possibly be wrong with my Moody goose. At first, people suspected she was slow to grow, and therefore she was smelly and low weight. Then, it came to genes... Could she have been, instead of an embden, a roman/embden cross? And perhaps...

I have a pair of modenas ('07) and 2 pairs of old german owls (07) and am not sure exactly what to feed them. The breeder who gave me the old german owls suggested a seed mix that Brown's makes that was 16% protein and contained no corn or large seeds. He said the German Owls would prefer...

A local flock live under a nearby bridge- A neighbor must love pigeons, because she often pours large bags of birdseed under the bridge, so those pigeons never go hungry- Can you suggest a food that is both healthy for the feral pigeons, yet will help them plump up so they can endure the cold...
