WildDiets Psittacus Pigeon Crop Milk – Complete Hand-Feeding Formula for Baby Pigeons & Doves, 500g

Give baby pigeons and doves the nutritional support they need during the critical hand-rearing stage with WildDiets Psittacus Pigeon Crop Milk, a complete hand-feeding formula specially developed for neonatal and growing squabs. This carefully formulated food is designed to provide concentrated nutrition for young pigeons when natural parental feeding is unavailable, insufficient, or hand-rearing is required.

Manufactured in Spain by Psittacus Catalonia S.L.U., the formula is developed specifically around the nutritional requirements of young pigeons and doves. Its concentrated nutritional profile combines high-quality protein and fat with essential vitamins, minerals and selected functional ingredients to support normal growth, development, digestion and overall condition during hand-rearing.

Complete Nutrition for Baby Pigeons & Doves

Young pigeons have high nutritional requirements during their earliest stages of life. WildDiets Psittacus Pigeon Crop Milk provides a concentrated source of nutrients suitable for the hand-feeding stage, with 44% crude protein and 40% crude fat.

The formula is designed to support the nutritional needs of developing squabs and provides a balanced combination of proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. Its composition is intended to provide nutritional support during the period when young birds depend heavily on crop-milk-type feeding.

High-Quality Nutritional Ingredients

The formula contains carefully selected, nutrient-dense ingredients, including:

• Nutrient-rich oil seeds
• Vegetable fruits
• Dried whole egg
• High-oleic sunflower oil
• Crude palm oil
• Coconut oil
• Linseed oil

These ingredients provide concentrated nutrients and energy to help meet the demanding nutritional requirements of developing baby pigeons and doves.

High Protein and Energy Formula

WildDiets Psittacus Pigeon Crop Milk contains:

• 44.0% Crude Protein – supports normal growth, tissue development and overall body development.
• 40.0% Crude Fat – provides a concentrated source of dietary energy required during the rapid growth stage.
• 2.5% Crude Fibre – contributes to the overall nutritional composition of the formula.
• 7.0% Crude Ash – represents the mineral content of the product.
• 6.0% Moisture – contributes to the product's analytical composition.

Enriched with Essential Vitamins

The formula is enriched with a broad range of vitamins to help provide nutritional support during the hand-rearing period.

It contains:

• Vitamin A
• Vitamin D3
• Vitamin E
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin K3
• B-complex vitamins

These vitamins contribute to the overall nutritional balance of the hand-feeding formula and support normal development and physiological functions.

Essential Minerals and Trace Elements

WildDiets Psittacus Pigeon Crop Milk also contains important minerals and trace elements, including:

• Iron
• Copper
• Manganese
• Zinc
• Iodine
• Selenium

These nutrients form part of the complete nutritional profile and help support normal development and general nutritional health in growing squabs.

Digestive Support with Inulin

The formula contains inulin derived from Cichorium intybus. Inulin is a prebiotic ingredient that can help support a healthy intestinal environment by encouraging beneficial gut flora.

This makes it a useful component of a complete hand-rearing formula where digestive support is an important consideration during the early growth stage.

Antioxidant Support from Marigold Meal

Marigold meal (Tagetes erecta) is included in the formulation as a source of antioxidant compounds. It contributes to the overall nutritional composition of the formula and provides additional antioxidant support as part of a balanced feeding program.

Designed for Hand-Rearing

WildDiets Psittacus Pigeon Crop Milk is specifically intended for hand-rearing baby pigeons and doves. It can be used when a squab has been abandoned, parental feeding is unavailable, natural feeding is insufficient, or hand-feeding is otherwise required.

The formula is designed to serve the nutritional purpose of crop-milk-type feeding during the early development stage. It provides a practical way to supply concentrated nutrition to young pigeons under appropriate hand-rearing conditions.

Preparation Instructions

For best preparation, mix the powder with lukewarm water.

Add the appropriate amount of formula powder to lukewarm water and mix thoroughly until the powder is completely incorporated and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

The prepared formula should have a consistency similar to shaken yogurt, with an approximate concentration of 20–25%, according to the supplied preparation guidance.

Preparation During the First Days

During the first day of life, and especially during the first feeding, the formula can be prepared with additional water to create a thinner consistency.

As the young bird develops, the consistency can be adjusted according to its feeding ability and developmental stage.

Always prepare the formula appropriately for the individual bird rather than assuming that one consistency or feeding quantity is suitable for every squab.

Important Feeding Instructions

Feed the prepared formula according to the individual baby's crop capacity.

Avoid overfilling the crop. The amount offered should be appropriate for the size, age and condition of the young bird.

The crop should be monitored between feedings. Before the next morning feeding, make sure that the baby's crop has completely emptied.

If the crop has not emptied normally, do not simply increase the amount of food or continue feeding without addressing the situation.

Fresh Formula for Every Feeding

Prepare fresh formula as required for each feeding.

Do not reuse leftover prepared formula.

After each feeding, discard any remaining mixture. Do not store leftover prepared formula for a later feeding, as prepared hand-feeding mixtures can deteriorate and may become unsuitable for the young bird.

Feeding Safety

• Use lukewarm water when preparing the formula.
• Mix thoroughly to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
• Adjust the consistency appropriately for very young birds.
• Feed according to the individual squab's crop capacity.
• Avoid overfilling the crop.
• Monitor the crop between feedings.
• Ensure the crop has emptied before the next morning feeding.
• Prepare fresh formula for each feeding.
• Discard all leftover prepared mixture.
• Do not reuse previously prepared formula.

Supports Healthy Growth and Development

The concentrated nutritional composition of WildDiets Psittacus Pigeon Crop Milk provides baby pigeons and doves with important nutrients during their rapid development stage.

The 44% protein content contributes to the nutritional requirements associated with growth and tissue development, while 40% fat provides concentrated dietary energy.

The combination of vitamins, minerals, protein, fats and other nutritional ingredients makes this formula suitable for the demanding hand-rearing period.

Nutritional and Digestive Support

The inclusion of vitamins, trace minerals, inulin and marigold meal provides a broad nutritional profile.

Inulin from Cichorium intybus supports a healthy intestinal environment, while the carefully selected ingredients provide protein, fat, vitamins and minerals required as part of a complete feeding program.

Similar Nutritional Purpose to Natural Crop Milk

Parent pigeons naturally provide crop milk to their young during the earliest stage of development. WildDiets Psittacus Pigeon Crop Milk is formulated specifically for the hand-rearing of pigeons and doves and is intended to provide a suitable nutritional alternative when natural parental feeding is unavailable or inadequate.

It is particularly useful as part of a controlled hand-rearing program for young squabs requiring human-assisted feeding.
