Do you feed the whole seed or just the hearts? Most fanciers I know feed just the hearts as a treat. Mine go wild for shelled unsalted peanuts. I break a few up for new birds to get acquainted with them.

My pigeons eat the sunflowers with shells on. They pick that out of the feed as soon as I put new feed in. but I imagine they'd be typically as happy as any other bird, to have been able to get the actual seed rather than eating the shell with it.

Of course, shelled sunflowers usually are more costly.

I gave mine shelled sunflower seeds and they like them. They don't go crazy but it seems like a nice treat. One of my birds will jump up on my arm and eat from my hand.

Mine love chicken scratch.

I have a small flock of pigeons. One cock is very friendly and will follow me. I would like to hand feed my birds treats to tame them. What do pigeons love? Thanks

Peanuts, fresh fruit and veggies but peanuts are at the top of the list for a snack treat raw or roasted try to get the un salted kind!!

Peanuts,

I agree peanuts worked for me as long as I can remember. Just one tip from a friend of mine who said peanuts did not work.

Make sure they are out of the " SHELL" .
