It's easier to raise. Compared with other poultry or birds, pigeons have their own unique living habits. First, pigeons are monogamous birds. Pigeons are selective to their spouses when they are sexually mature, and once they are paired, they are single-minded and inseparable. Not promiscuous like other poultry. In the same flock, if the number of male and female pigeons is not equal, there may be two male or two female same-sex spouses. After pigeons are paired, both male and female pigeons participate in nesting, hatching and feeding young pigeons. It will take a long time for pigeons to reunite after their widowhood. In production, in order to cultivate excellent varieties, improve the quality of pigeon varieties and avoid the variety degradation caused by inbreeding, artificial selection can be carried out in a planned way. If the male and female pigeons are paired freely, they can be disassembled and paired again, but it is very time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, in breeding, it is necessary to master this characteristic of pigeons and make an artificial selection plan as soon as possible to prevent free pairing. In addition, after the adult pigeons lose their spouses, promiscuity may also occur during the estrus season due to their strong sexual desire, thus disturbing the birds. In order to keep the birds quiet, the pigeons in heat can be paired in time or temporarily isolated. Parents will look for nesting materials and build nests after mating with nesting pigeons, brooding pigeons and brooding pigeons. Male pigeons with good production performance also have the behavior of "breaking their wives" If the female pigeon leaves the nest, the male pigeon will chase the female pigeon back to the nest to lay eggs. After the female pigeon lays eggs, the male pigeon and the female pigeon take turns to hatch eggs. Male pigeons hatch in the nest at 9 am every day, while female pigeons go out for food and activities. At 5 pm, the mother pigeon enters the nest and hatches until 9 am the next day. In this way, the male and female pigeons alternate day after day until the young pigeons hatch. After the young pigeons hatch, both male and female pigeons secrete pigeon milk to feed the young pigeons. The incubation period in pigeon eggs is generally around 17 days. After this time, before the young pigeons hatch, parents will give up the old nest and find a new nest to lay eggs before hatching. Therefore, in production, if it is found that chicks have not hatched after the incubation period, it is necessary to take out the unhatched eggs in time so that pigeons can lay eggs in time. Pigeons are late birds. Different from other birds, young pigeons can't open their eyes when they are hatched, and their feathers are scarce, so they can't walk or feed. It takes parents about 3040 days to live independently. Pigeon food is mainly plant food, whether it is wild pigeon or domestic pigeon, it is mainly plant food, mainly corn, wheat, beans, grains and so on. And generally don't eat meat like insects. Pigeons are used to eating raw materials, and artificial feeding can also adapt to cooked food. Granular mixed feed can also be used in artificial farms. Pigeons are characterized by daytime activities and homing at night. Pigeons are very active during the day. They eat and drink water frequently. Rest quietly in the shed at night. However, trained homing pigeons can fly at night or even at night if they don't return to their habitat before evening. Pigeons are alert and easily disturbed. Pigeons are highly alert in their daily lives and are very sensitive to the surrounding stimuli. Flash, strange sound, moving object, unusual color, etc. Will cause pigeons to stir and dive. Therefore, attention should be paid to keeping the environment around pigeons quiet in feeding management, especially at night to prevent the intrusion of rats, snakes, cats and dogs, so as not to cause confusion and affect the normal life of pigeons. Pigeons have a strong memory. Pigeons have a strong memory, they can form certain habits, and even have a strong conditioned response to fixed feed, feeding management procedures, environmental conditions and call signals. For those who often take care of it, get close to it and remember it. If they are treated roughly at ordinary times, it will often be detrimental to feeding management. Pigeons are also habitual animals. It takes some time to get used to it if you want to change your original living habits. Therefore, routine feeding management procedures and environmental conditions should be fixed in pigeon feeding management. Thereby ensuring high production efficiency.
