At the moment it is not possible to drink pigeon milk, which is not actually 'milk' in the traditional sense, but made up of special secretions from the parent birds' crop. So-called 'pigeon milk' is produced only in very small quantities, in order to feed the young pigeon chicks, or squabs.
However, given recent research, as well as man's constant search for products to enhance youth and vitality, it may be possible to drink the 'milk' harvested from pigeons one day in the future. Australian researchers have discovered that pigeon milk offers similar nutrients to that found in mammals' milk. In a study where pigeon milk was fed to chickens, the growth rate of the baby chicks increased by 38%.
