What Do Wood Pigeons Eat?

Understanding the Wood Pigeon Diet

The typical wood pigeon diet in the wild includes seeds, grains, buds, berries, and crops. In gardens, they are drawn to soft, high-energy foods that are easy to pick up from flat surfaces. They thrive on large, husk-free seeds and benefit from extra protein during moulting and colder months. A good wood pigeon diet should be gentle on the gut and support feather health and natural activity levels.

Best Food for Wood Pigeons in Your Garden

To attract and feed wood pigeons, choose food options such as:

• Sunflower hearts
• Crushed maize
• Wheat and barley flakes
• Berry suet pellets
• Pinhead oatmeal
• Raisins or chopped dried fruits (in moderation)
• Split or crushed peanuts (unsalted)

Avoid whole maize or hard seed husks, which can be tough to digest. Our wood pigeon food is designed with their natural feeding habits in mind, helping to support year-round health and vitality.
