Description

Pigeon Food for Racing, Breeding and Pet Pigeons: Avigrain Pigeon Mix

Avigrain Pigeon Mix is a whole grain pigeon food that works as an everyday stock and maintenance mix for loft and aviary pigeons. It blends cereal grains for energy with dun peas for protein and a little safflower for fat, giving fanciers a dependable base feed for racing, breeding, show and pet pigeons year round. It's packed by Avigrain, an Australian bird seed company, under the name Premium Breeders Pigeon Mix.

What Is in a Pigeon Seed Mix?

A good pigeon seed mix combines grains and legumes so birds get both energy and protein from one feed. Avigrain Pigeon Mix contains approximately:

  • Wheat (about 40%): the main carbohydrate source, with some protein, and readily eaten by most pigeons
  • Dun peas (about 25%): the protein part of the mix, supplying amino acids such as lysine for muscle and feather growth
  • Sorghum (about 25%): a small, hard grain that adds steady energy
  • Whole corn (about 7%): an energy-dense grain pigeons favour
  • Safflower (about 3%): an oil seed that adds fat for condition and energy

Exact proportions can vary slightly from batch to batch with grain supply.

A Maintenance Mix: When It Fits and When to Adjust

A maintenance mix is designed to keep pigeons in good, steady condition rather than push them for a particular stage. That makes Avigrain Pigeon Mix a practical base feed for stock birds, the off-season, show and pet pigeons, and lofts feeding many birds every day.

During breeding and while parents are feeding squabs, protein demand rises. Many fanciers add extra peas or a protein-rich supplement such as an egg food alongside the mix at this time. In race season, fanciers often adjust energy before and after races. The mix stays a sound base in both cases, with the extras layered on top.

Is Mixed Grain Good for Pigeons?

Yes. Pigeons are natural grain eaters, and a mixed grain feed suits the way they eat. Because they swallow seeds whole, they rely on insoluble grit in the gizzard to grind them down, and they need shell grit or another calcium source, especially laying hens. A grain mix alone can be light on some vitamins and minerals, so many fanciers add a pigeon vitamin or mineral supplement during breeding, moulting and racing.

Choosing the Best Pigeon Food for Your Loft

The best pigeon food depends on what your birds are doing, but a few points apply to every loft:

  • Clean, whole grains with little dust or broken seed
  • A legume share such as dun peas for protein
  • A blend matched to the season, from maintenance through breeding and racing
  • A consistent mix from bag to bag, so birds don't have to keep adjusting
  • Fresh water and grit offered alongside it every day

Key Features And Benefits

  • Complete NPKS blend that feeds roots and resilience as well as leaf
  • Nitrogen for strong growth and green colour

  • Potassium helps lawns handle heat, wear and dry spells
  • Calcium supports healthy cell walls and soil structure
  • Granules spread evenly by hand or spreader
  • Suits all grass types, from home lawns to sports fields

How To Use

  • Timing: apply when the grass is actively growing: early spring, a lighter feed in late spring or summer, and again in autumn.
  • Rate: spread 5–6kg per 100m² (about 50–60g/m²), three or four times a year.
  • Spread evenly: apply by hand or with a spreader. For an even result, spread half the amount in one direction and the rest at right angles.
  • Water in: water thoroughly straight after applying to wash granules off the leaf and into the soil.
  • Don’t spray or inject: No. 17 isn’t fully soluble, so don’t use it through irrigation, water injection or spray equipment.
  • Avoid: heatwaves, drought, and winter dormancy in warm-season grasses.
  • Clippings: lawns where clippings are caught and removed need feeding more often.
  • Clean up: sweep granules off paths and driveways, and clean spreaders after use, as the product can be corrosive to metals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Avigrain Pigeon Mix used for?

Avigrain Pigeon Mix is a stock and maintenance grain feed for loft and aviary pigeons. It's used as an everyday base feed for racing, breeding, show and pet pigeons, with extras such as peas or supplements added during breeding and race season.

What is in Avigrain Pigeon Mix?

It contains approximately 40% wheat, 25% dun peas, 25% sorghum, 7% whole corn and 3% safflower. Proportions can vary slightly between batches.

Is mixed grain good for pigeons?

Yes. Pigeons are grain eaters, and a mix of cereals and peas gives them energy and protein in one feed. Offer grit, shell grit and clean water with it, and add vitamins or minerals at demanding times such as breeding.

What seed is best for pigeons?

Most pigeons do best on a mix rather than one seed. Look for wheat, sorghum and corn for energy, peas for protein, and a small amount of oil seed such as safflower, in clean, whole grain form.

How much pigeon feed does a pigeon need per day?

As a general guide, around 30 to 50g per bird per day. Working, racing and breeding birds need more, and resting birds in mild weather need less.

Can Avigrain Pigeon Mix be used as a pigeon breeding mix?

It works as the base feed for breeding pairs, but breeding birds need more protein than a maintenance mix provides. Add extra peas or a protein supplement such as egg food while hens are laying and squabs are being fed.

Do pigeons need grit with a seed mix?

Yes. Pigeons swallow grain whole and need insoluble grit to grind it in the gizzard. Shell grit also supplies calcium, which laying hens need for eggshells.
