Too often pigeons and dove’s owners assume they are feeding a proper diet to their pigeon or dove when in fact they are not! This is a common reason for many health problems. It is important to continually strive to improve your bird’s diet.It is not sufficient to feed a pigeon or dove just to maintain life; instead, your goal should be to help it thrive and flourish. Your bird’s health depends on how well it is fed.
Calcium is the most prevalent mineral in a racing & show pigeons body and is required in the diet in a greater amount than any other mineral. The chick needs calcium for skeletal mineralization and the egg laying pigeon has a higher demand of calcium for egg formation. From a nutritional viewpoint calcium is the most challenging mineral, because the requirement is extremely variable, depending on the pigeons physiological state, and because many foods are likely to be deficient in calcium.
Calcium constitutes more than a third of the total mineral content of an adult pigeon. The skeleton contains about 98% of a birds calcium. Bones not only serve a structural role but provide a pool of calcium, phosphate and other compounds.

Calcium is an essential element in the bird’s body. Amongst others it is essential for the correct functioning of the nervous system.
Calcium deficiencies in birds regularly result in serious health problems. If the bird is not given enough calcium, it causes decalcification of the skeleton and bone deformation.
Giving extra calcium to birds during the breeding and growth season is therefore strongly recommended. Sufficient calcium ensures good egg shell formation and the development of a healthy skeleton.
