Matters needing attention in caged pigeons

Pigeons are common breeding projects, whether they are meat pigeons, carrier pigeons and racing pigeons, most of them will choose to be caged, which can reduce the problems such as flying away, but if they are kept in captivity for a long time, then there will be some problems. Let's take a look with the editor.

1. Space is limited

The space for captivity is limited. If paired pigeons are caged, pigeons will feel crowded after their wings are spread, and their wings may be flapped on the net of the cage, which will not allow pigeons to bathe and move. So when raising pigeons in cage, you can pick up the small cage and let the pigeon take a bath and move in the cage. If there is a pigeon house, you can put it in the pigeon house to take a bath and have a rest and then put it in the cage, which is troublesome, but it can make the pigeon's spirit healthier.

2. Obesity

Caged pigeons will cause pigeon degradation, one of the big reasons is the decline in vitality, obesity, and this problem is mainly caused by feeding, caged pigeons eat much less than open pigeons, caged pigeons once full, nine times out of ten will become obese, and the degree of obesity will be relatively large. Therefore, it is necessary to control the food intake of caged pigeons. if it is during the rearing period, the feeding can be controlled at six or seven minutes each time, and you can not feed when you are not actively eating. One less meal will make the caged pigeons more energetic.

3. Environmental hygiene

Pigeon defecation speed is relatively fast, after feeding will quickly absorb nutrients and feces out of the body, so a cage even if only two pigeons, can also accumulate a lot of feces in a short period of time. If it is not cleaned in time, it will often lead to a long cage environment, and the cage will make the feces of the pigeon next door, which has a greater impact on the pigeon. Therefore, caged pigeons should be cleaned as much as possible, especially in brooding, as far as possible once a day.

4. Nutritional requirements

Caged pigeons need to ensure comprehensive nutrition, if only some grain feed is given, then the types of feed must be repeated, because the sources of mineral elements for caged pigeons are all obtained through health care sand, so there should be enough health sand and enough species. And pay attention to adding some bone powder, shell powder, and usually pay attention to feeding some vegetables, supplement vitamins.
