2. In addition to the daily miscellaneous grains, pigeons should also be fed some vegetables such as vegetables or cabbage, and it is best to produce some minerals in the feed.
3. The location of pigeon nest is also learned. Be sure to regroup your eyes, and pay attention to prevent rats, snakes and cats from attacking in windproof and dry places. There must be many divided habitats in the pigeon nest to prevent pigeons from fighting with each other and grabbing territory.
Pigeons are clean animals, so they should clean their nests frequently, at least twice a week in summer and once a week in winter.
In addition, if a large number of pigeons are raised, the initial investment will be very large. If you want to buy high-quality breeding pigeons and breed them yourself, you will have less investment in the later stage.
6. Pigeons need to pay attention to the hygiene and disinfection of pigeons. It is best to vaccinate to avoid pigeons getting sick collectively.
Pigeons' habits:
After mating with nesting, brooding and brooding pigeons, male and female pigeons will look for nesting materials and build nests. 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-maturing birds. Different from other birds, young pigeons can't open their eyes when they are hatched, have few feathers, can't walk and feed, and need to be fed by their parents. It takes about 40 days to live independently. Pigeons eat mainly plant food. Both wild pigeons and domestic pigeons are mainly plant foods, 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, and they can form certain habits and even have a firm conditioned reflex to fixed feed, feeding management procedures, environmental conditions and calling 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. In pigeon breeding management, daily feeding management procedures and environmental conditions should be fixed. Thereby ensuring higher production efficiency. Pigeons have strong homing ability. Both domestic pigeons and wild pigeons have strong homing. Generally speaking, their birthplace is where they have lived all their lives. Any unfamiliar place is not suitable for pigeons They are not at ease and always want to go back to their "hometown", especially when they encounter danger and terror. If the pigeon is taken to a place hundreds or thousands of miles away from its "home" and released, it will try its best to return as quickly as possible and will not stay or live in any unfamiliar place on the way.
