Hand feeding the pigeons in the garden while I sit on a bench is such a relaxing thing to do. I also believe that they are very friendly and the more you interact with them the more tame they become. I find that spending time with them, hand feeding and handling them all play a major role in your relationship with your birds.
I really like watching them and seeing how they behave. I noticed that they liked Kale so we planted some for them and some for us. All through the life of the kale the pigeons would eat it. When I couldn’t let them outside I even picked some fresh leaves and brought it in for them to eat. Homing pigeons are amazing birds and I only have more to learn about them.
I have a small racing pigeon loft flying about 30 birds and I use it to train the pigeons and race them. The pigeons spend a lot of time loft flying and enjoying the time they get out. You must continue loft flying racing pigeons if you want them to stay in fit shape. Hand feeding racing pigeons is also a good way to simply make them better to handle.
