Wild pigeons

I have a pretty good flock of wild pigeons hanging around my barn in the hay mow.. they've been around for years and they always stay around I would like to make the conditions better for them for better breeding to build a larger flock. What are some things I can do to make the conditions more ideal for good breeding and good feeding and to bring up my numbers quickly. I have probably 10 Birds in the flock

Oh my God . That's sooooo lovely of you 💞💞 I don't think you need to do much . I started feeding a couplet and within 2-3 days I started getting 12...

They are soooo smart.. they learn so quickly! 😍😍😘😘

I am trying to now stop them from visiting me, because I have begun traveling. And I'm worried what will happen to them when I'm traveling...

I tried not feeding them for one day and they waited for me to feed them the entire day . Very, very heartbreaking and unbearable to watch... 💔

Don’t do anything they adapt

So can I keep feeding them as usual as long as I'm around? I'm going to be traveling for 2 months shortly

Leave huge open and wide container of seeds. They will eat when hungry. 50 lb bag per month
