Hi. I want to know healthy foods for pigeons. My pigeon looks thin. I need a list of healthy foods for my pigeon. I want a list of edible seeds, healthy fruits and vegetables. She loves cucumber seeds. But I have noticed that she gets cold( running nose, sneezing) after eating cucumber seeds. But what's your opinion about feeding cucumber seeds? And please don't forget to give me a list of pigeon healthy foods. Thanks.

Pigeons eat a variety of grains, seeds, greens and fruit. they will occasionally dine on insects or earthworms. A commercial pelleted pigeon diet should comprise about half the diet. the other half can be a combination of fresh, chopped greens, vegetables and fruits. Your pigeon can eat almost anything you do. Do not feed avocado, chocolate or anything greasy or oily. A comprehensive list of appropriate foods is too long to fit here, but you can get an idea of what to feed at the link below. http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/care/pigeon-feeding-dove-feeding/
