You can feed wheat to Sheephony as a snack, however a balanced diet is best to ensure she gets the right balance of nutrients. The wheat can be soaked/sprouted to increase nutrient value as well. Doves and pigeons have very similar nutrient needs, so a commercial dove food, such as [this Kaytee formula](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/kaytee-supreme-daily-blend-dove-food) or [Brown's](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/browns-dove-pigeon-and-quail-blend-bird-food), can be used for feeding a pet pigeon. Additional fruits, grains, veggies and even live insects can be fed to help round out the diet and provide some fun and interesting snacks as well.
