Pigeon nests
October 29th, 2009 • Breeding • 761 views
It is recommended to let the pigeons build their own nests because this activity makes them love the nest more and will help during races. Some of the best materials for pigeon nests are:
- tobacco sticks
- pine needles
- Acacia sticks
- Walnut leaves sticks
Tobacco sticks and pine needles also have anti-parasitic effects, so they are recommended. Drop a pile of sticks on the floor of the loft or outside and watch the males carrying them and the females carefully arranging the nest. If you put the nest materials outside the loft, if you have a sputnik you will have a lot of fun watching the males trying to enter with the stick…

I tried sand too but they kept throwing it out of the nest! :)) They simply hated it so I sticked to sticks. :D I also love to see them working with the sticks.
