Description
Photograph of feeding time at a pigeon ranch near the Los Angeles River. Just past the Riverside Bridge at the junction of Verdugo Street and San Fernando Boulevard. Two men and a horse-drawn wagon full of bags of feed for the 20,000 pigeons visible in the background completely covering the ground and a large coop. Under the care of a superintendent and three helpers 300 to 500 squabs are dressed for market each day. The pigeons consume 1,500 pounds of grain each day.
