.....that when pigeons are feeding on rape they fly up into the trees immediately surrounding the rape field to digest their crop full but when they are feeding on other food like beech mast they make the journey back to the roosting woods?

 

Less nutritional value for the bulk, forcing them to conserve energy?

Because when they feed on Rape they need to feed twice a day...when feeding on mast or acorns once a day sometimes once every two or three days if there is a bumper crop.

 

I have a ringed pigeon comes to my bird table every other day regular as clockwork...he fills his crop with rooster booster or peanuts and then flights off to a sycamore tree where he stays for two days before feeding again. There is always plenty of food on the table. He does drink regularly though sometimes 3 times a day from the bird bath or pond.
