Help Pigeon threw up seeds?

[Serge23]

Hi, so i have a few pigeons and i noticed that one of the males does his dance around another male and randomly throws up dry seeds... is this normal? And where the females are i find dry seeds in their boxes... but the feeder is all the way on the floor... i have the males and females seperated for now...

The males do try to impress a potential mate. They do a strut and I believe that they will also bring them food.

So my guess it is fairly normally for them to bring up dry seed? Ive never encountered it in my lofts. I checked the pigeon and his throat is clear and seems healthy..

Once while scraping the loft floor I found a small pile of undigested seeds that might have been regurgitated. I didn't know what to make of it and all my birds seemed healthy so I decided to just keep an eye out for more. I haven't seen it again, so I don't think its very common.

Sometimes pigeons can do this if the weather has changed drastically, usually from cold to hot. You might want to add a natural treatment for cocci and canker just to be on the safe side. I'd say use a natural one as then you do not have to remove the grit from them, as some treatments can be counted out if calcium is still in their diet massively. Other thing it could also have been is that he needed to replace his grit preserves and a bit of food came up with it.
