A Knight Distributing Grain to Courtyard Pigeons
Open courtyards inside castle walls were bustling central spaces where residents gathered and animals moved freely. Pigeons settled on stone rooftops and routinely searched the ground for fallen seeds and grain.
The Role of Pigeons Around Medieval Castles
Pigeons were commonly kept in castle dovecotes, providing message transport across long distances as well as food. Grain sacks made of woven burlap were stored in dry castle pantries to feed livestock and poultry. Courtyard birds quickly learned to associate human presence with scattered seeds.
