Most pet stores or farm supply stores will have a commercial pelleted pigeon chow. This will be a good base for the diet. Corn can be used to get some weight on her if necessary. You can supplement with fresh greens, vegetables and a small amount of fruit/berries. Pigeons will also eat earthworms and insects. She may be molting, which is normal. You can bathe or mist her with warm water once or twice a week to promote preening and healthy plumage. Ideally, she should be physically examined by your veterinarian or an experienced avian vet to diagnose and treat and infection (bacterial, fungal, viral, parasitical) that could also be potential causes for the feather loss.
