As I walked in the loft I saw 2 of my birds on the ground. Looking closely I noticed the blood and loose feathers around them.
Confirmed. A predator had entered the loft and killed 2 of my birds.
I didn’t have the heart to take a picture or video so I’m sorry if I had to resort to a cartoon video.

Devastated….

I know it seems like an abomination to most of the pigeon experts out there but I’m trying to feed my roller pigeon breeder pair this Purina Layena pellets.

I’m weaning them out of seeds and grains and its so painful watching them go hungry since they wanted to eat the usual food they are used to.  They did manage to eat some but hopefully they will get accustomed to this chicken pellets since it has a lot of vitamins and minerals in it.  These pellets are a little smaller than the regular pellets so my roller pigeons can easily swallow them. 

 I had to buy those 25 lbs bag since they don’t sell 5lbs bag.  If you are planning to feed pellets you don’t need to give them grits.

After some extensive searches on the web and phone calls I finally located one master breeder that is close to me.  I can say that 45 minutes drive is close enough compare to waiting for the USPS delivery to call you after 2 day shipping!

It’s a drive well worth is since Gary R. is such a friendly guy and gave me a quick rundown of basic pigeon 101!
