Cracked corn There are pigeon mixes that you can find online. You can also buy general bird seed at any pet store, but I recommend seed specifically for pigeons. Whatever you decide to feed him, you must include some "grit" in his food. Just a pinch. It is tiny ground up gravel or oyster shells or sometimes eggshells. It is the way pigeons digest food. They need a little of these rough stones to grind down the seed in their stomach. But you cant give him too much grit or he will get sick. Find a bird vet and they will be able to help you out! Good luck, pigeons are super super smart (smarter than a 3 year old child!) and they make wonderful pets!

Pigeons are grain eaters. Rice, white or brown, split peas, barley, buckwheat, canary seed, etc., are all good first options to feed a lost bird with. For racing most fanciers use the 12% mixture of grains. They also need grit because they have no teeth.

Pigeons thrive on food scraps and spillages. They congregate easily wherever food is readily available or where spillages are more common.
