So a little while ago a posted in the 'feral pigeons' section about yet another pij I had found. This one has now bonded with me and is very affectionate and sweet. So this new post can now go into the 'pet pigeon and doves' section 
Anyway, when i first got 'pika' as I have called him/her i was feeding her (lets call it a her) peas as suggested on this site, as well as a little seeded bread, water of course and mashy cat/dog food, again as suggested on this site. She is now able to peck off the ground but I have come to realise I have a very picky pij on my hands! Every day I put out a dish of wild bird formula that i buy from the supermarket which has maize, sorghum, barley, oats, wheat, panorama, white millet and hulled oats in it. To that I add un popped popcorn, broken up pumpkin seeds, linseeds, rapeseeds, a small amount of broken up almonds, pine nuts and another seed a can't remember the name of. I also add grit to the mix. Out of all of those seeds Pika only eats these little round red ones that come in the premade mix from the supermarket. They look like red milo seeds but they aren't on the ingredients list...
Because Pika only eats those seeds, I still give her some seeded bread and force feed her peas because I am worried she is not getting enough food or vitamins! I also add Ornithon to her water every day which is a vitamin and mineral supplement for birds.
Any help on what this little pij would like to eat??? Of course she loves bread (which i don't want to give too much of) and the little red seeds in her mix but that seems to be about it!
