Pigeons are scavengers, it'll eat anything, like leftovers, seeds, and even insects!

They are adapted to living in urban areas, if you look at their beaks carefully you will see it's sharp and pointed and get tiny leftovers. Did you know we have over thousands of taste buds while pigeons normally have 40-60?

Pigeons also need water. You should see Pigeons drinking water with their heads down, unlike humans. They'll drink water from puddles on the roads or lane.

Pigeons do not eat something hard or big, like an apple (unless you cut them it's fine) they normally eat grains.

Not all pigeon food is created equal and not all pigeons will eat the same food.The basic food is grains. They also have to swallow grit and small stones to digest the food because they have no teeth.

Pigeons are grain eaters. Rice, white or brown, split peas, barley, buckwheat, canary seed, etc., are all good first options to feed a lost bird with.
