Pigeon not eating much - otherwise healthy

[RedCarpetEclectus]

I have an adult male frillback pigeon, have had him for a few months now and noticed he has not been eating nearly as much as he should over the past few days. He is still a good weight, active and still flys about, feathers in good condition. He is coming to the end of his moult if that matters. Should I be concerned?

Moulting is tough. Can you give him some scramble eggs, good protein for moulting monsters.

Yes, I can do that do you think I should worry about the amount he is eating?

If he's maintaining his weight, he should be fine! Maybe he's eating when you're not around--or sneaking food from someone else

He is in a cage on his own as e was an unexpected rescue, I havent found a mate for him yet, so I can monitor his food really well which is why I am worried

If it's like a quarter to half a regular size egg, it'll be OK, just don't overdo it, and not every day, give it to him twice A week.
