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%.

Yes and no. Pigeons are birds, and birds do not provide the same sort of milk for their young as mammals do. Some birds are fed on special secretions from the parent birds' crop, and these may even be called crop milk, but it is not milk in the true "mammalian" sense of the word. It is not produced in mammary glands.

The production of the milk is controlled by prolactin, which is the same hormone that begins milk production in mammals, and is released from the pituitary gland. The lining of the crop sloughs off fluid-filled cells containing more fat and protein than cows' milk, as well as minerals and antibodies, forming a nutritious milk-like substance known as crop milk. Both males and females produce this liquid.

Birds which feed their young with "crop milk" include pigeons, doves and flamingos.

The only animals that truly feed their young on milk are mammals. Only mammals have mammary glands, which are necessary to produce milk.

No, they don't. However, several species of pigeons and doves do produce bile to a small extent. However, it is not in the same chemical form as most bile in the bird kingdom and these species have no gall bladder to store or concentrate it.

The term 'passenger' was taken from the French word 'passager' which means 'to pass by'. Passenger pigeons took quite a while to 'pass by' because in the 1800's and before, their flocks were so huge. This is probably where the name came from.

Yes! They do. I have chickens and pigeons in an aviary. Besides the proper food which I buy at the feed store and contains all the grain and vitamins, we feed them leftovers. Sometimes there are pieces of meat included and the chickens as well as the pigeons will eat the pieces of meat. Any animal in the wild will search for the food they like the best but when in captivity and if hungry they will eat anything. I have seen rabbits eat chicken meat and wild pigeons eating form the street whatever is on the ground. José M. Raposo
