Food taboos for feeding pigeons:

1. Do not feed pigeons too much salt. If you feed too much salt, the pigeons will show certain symptoms of poisoning. In fact, the body balance is destroyed, and they will drink more water, have watery stools, and become physically uncomfortable.

2. Don’t feed pigeons too much cabbage. Chinese cabbage contains a lot of water, and pigeons will easily lose water if given too much. The same goes for other vegetables. Don’t give too much. Give them once or twice a week to supplement enough nutrients.

3. Don’t feed pigeons too many mung beans. In summer, pigeon fanciers like to add some mung beans to their food, or even cook some mung bean soup directly. These approaches are naturally feasible. But this is because the weather is hot, and it is not suitable in other seasons when the weather is not hot. It is even said that it is not suitable to add mung beans in winter, because too much mung beans will cause pigeons to have watery stools.
