decoy1979 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 May be worth trying to get a close up as I can't identify individual pieces from that picture to get an idea of shape, any idea of the texture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegasus bridge Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) I think it is the food they regurgitate for young, I forget what its called though.. Edit - its 'crop milk' - more like cottage cheese though than milk, hard to see on my phone, but looks like it?

pegasus bridge Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Just pulled this from a woodpigeon rescue site: 'Baby wood pigeons are fed with "crop milk" ( this is nothing like dairy milk, it consists of high protein "milk" cells that develop on the crop wall and are shed into the crop when feeding is due ) for the first three days of their life' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike737 Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Chipped peanuts from a garden bird-feeder would be my guess. I get pigeons and even pheasants actually on the feeder. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
