Answers: Depends on the type of pigeon.
Generally speaking, foreign doves and pigeons are divided into two large groups–the seedeaters and the fruit-eaters (an example of the latter being the Jambu Fruit Dove, a pair of which is pictured above right. The so-called fruit pigeons as a common rule do not breed as prolifically as the seed eating species. Moreover, they require soft food in the form of boiled rice mixed next to chopped fruit, whereas seed-eaters require little else than various grains and occasional mealworms and a little mynah-bird food. Fruit-pigeons are not suitable for small aviaries since their copious soft dropping, unless frequently removed, are feasible to cause an unsightly, smelly mess. However, if large, spacious enclosure are available for them, they are likely to do quite well contained by them. Owing to their usually colorful plumage, pigeons and doves are much prized by many bird-lovers. Our discussion here will focus mainly on seed-eating doves and pigeions, of which currently copious varieties are to be found in fanciers' hands.
