Urban pigeons are not wild animals. They are abandoned domestic animals—left to fend for themselves and forced to survive in our cities. Yet, they are often left without help.
❗ Why feeding matters:
Without help, pigeons search for food in trash—eating spoiled leftovers, plastic, or harmful substances. This makes them sick and puts their lives at risk.
👉 By feeding them properly, you protect them from suffering, disease, and a painful struggle to survive.
🌾 What belongs in their food bowl:
• wheat
• corn
• barley
• millet
• peas (dried)
• sunflower seeds (shelled, in moderation)
👉 Best option: ready-made pigeon feed from pet stores, agricultural shops, or online—optimally balanced and easy to use.
⸻
🚫 Please DO NOT feed:
• ❌ bread
• ❌ leftovers / garbage
• ❌ seasoned or salty food
• ❌ rice (uncooked)
• ❌ oats

💚 Your actions matter
Every proper feeding means less suffering, fewer diseases, and more dignity for these animals.
👉 Don’t turn away. Get informed. Take action.
👉 Feed responsibly—and help raise awareness. 🐦💚
