Grass seed?


Recommended Posts

No, not likley i would say, certainly not attractive to pigeons accross this side. If there is pigeon traffic over the field you may well decoy them but in my experience the pigeons won't feed there. You might get a few corvids on it though.

Worth keeping a eye on it, if it is still to be drilled will be one of the latest fields to be worked and may be able to attract pigeons to it if passing traffic, also as it starts to grow may get what I call soft weeds chickweed grounsell? that pigeon like. I have shot several on fresh paddock drilling.

Yes pigeon love some grass seed , a couple of years back one of the farms I shoot planted a new orchard it attracted 100s if not 1000s of pigeon when they seeded the strips between the trees.

only the other day I drove past a golf course were they had done some repairs / alterations the pigeon were almost wedged into the small patches there were so many of them.

Very suprised at that fenboy, on our dairy farm they re sow 3 year lay pasture and other grasses all the time, never once seen a pigeon on any of it!

 

I suppose it all goes to show how different regions and available food etc can effect feeding.

funny enough had this conversation with a fellow shooter today.

both of us have been shooting pigeons for 20+ year and he was saying when he was a nipper they had endless days of pigeon shooting on grass seeds. I cant think i have ever had a day decoying over grass seeds. nothing worth remembering any way.

 

very dependent on variety of grass i guess. also what else is around to feed on.
