Question

Can a three-year-old child eat pigeon meat? My child often has numbness in the legs, and I am considering buying pigeons for nourishment, but I am not sure if it is suitable for consumption. Past treatments and efficacy: Never received treatment. Assistance sought: Just want to know if it is safe to eat pigeon meat.

Answer

Pigeon meat is of high nutritional value, both delicious and a high-grade health supplement. Pigeon meat is a high-protein, low-fat food containing many essential amino acids with an absorption rate of up to 5%. The fat content of pigeon meat is only 0.3%, slightly higher than other meats. Pigeon eggs are known as “Animal Ginseng,” rich in protein. There is a Chinese saying that “one pigeon is better than nine chickens.” Children can eat pigeon meat, but for the reason of leg numbness, it is recommended to undergo an examination to determine the cause.
