Protect and Manage Your Pigeons

Keeping Pigeons Safe

Pigeons are essential to your postal system, but they face natural predators. Wild cats, ocelots, and foxes will hunt them, so you need to manage your pigeon population carefully.

Steps:

1. Gather pigeons by holding seeds in your hand—they'll follow you

2. Lead them to a safe area away from predator spawn zones

3. Build or designate a protected space near your mailbox

4. Keep predators away using fencing, lighting, or distance

5. Maintain a steady supply of seeds to keep pigeons nearby

Using Pigeonholes

Pigeonholes provide resting spots for your birds and can hold useful items they've collected. Place pigeonholes near your mailbox to give pigeons safe shelter between deliveries.

Pigeons naturally spawn in mountain areas and near villages, so if your population dwindles, you can venture to these biomes to gather more. The more pigeons you have in your area, the faster your mail gets delivered. A well-protected pigeon population ensures reliable postal service for all your trades and communications.
