How do you switch pigeons from a seed diet to a pellet diet?
Christy asked:
With feed prices rapidly increasing (thanks to increasing fuel prices…) I have decided to try pellets. They are cheaper and there should be less wasted food. Has anyone fed the pigeon pellet that Tractor Supply sells? Do the pigeons do well on a diet of pellet? How should I go about switching them from a mixed seed diet to a pellet diet? Thank you!

They do great on pellets! Just mix half seed and half pellets and you should be ok…..
My doves do great on pellets. I feed Zupreem pellets to my doves. (cockatiel size) It is small and easy to eat.
Good luck!
start introducing the pellets little by little so its stomach will get used to it.
