Can you feed a baby pigeon milk?
No. The milk-like substance produced by pigeons is different from human milk.
Pigeons do not make milk. Pigeons are birds, and birds do not provide milk for their young. 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.
Pigeon Clocks are rather simple devices used to time pigeon races. In pigeon races, the birds are taken from their home stop and are released for their homing experience. The pigeons are then timed with a regulation pigeon clock in order to determine a winner.
