Scratch is corn crushed cracked and or whole, one or more types, mixed with wheat, at least usually, and sometimes grit n vitiman calcuim powder..
Better feeds will also have milo (red bb type seed), white millet (lil white seeds in feeds n treats as staple for budgie/grass parakeets, canary and finches), and other seeds n grains that i cannot remember, but peas are in best scratch grain feeds, usually six grain scratch best, but heard of nine grain scratch.

Milo wheat n Peas n key in pigeon seed grain feeds/mixes, as they provide usable protiens n energy etc for pigeons.
basically good or even cheapest wild bird seed, scratch, and layer, will be more than adequate for pet pigeons. Some feed Birmingham rollers used for flying sport, only wheat, until season over, cold n then add millet n or corn, and milo n peas for breeding, n adding dash of ACV (apple cider vinegar) to gallon of their drinking water. I've given strictly wild bird seed n my fliers did good, n fed winter breeder fliers layer n scratch mixed in with it. course i supplemented with dandilion or collard etc greens.

Oh Ok thanks so I could just use scratch feeds and bird seed? Sounds good to me

Whatever works for family line your working with, as many lines develop feed needs special from norm. good from absorbing more nutrition from poor feed (some seen eat/fed do good on only dog food, other fed premium pigeon feed. Some young fliers fed wheat when flying, n corn when off/winter etc. I want to change my avatar, but I'm on phone, n mobile doesn't work controls on my phone probably.
