Feed the Birds!!!!!!!
Feeding the Birds is one of the most important aspects of racing pigeons?All living things need to eat to get energy for movement and for their body to function correctly.There is not only energy in food! There are many things in the food we eat and also what animals eat that allow the bodies to perform different functions.
On the next page are all of the food groups and pictures of how they help us in everyday lifeSee if you can match up the pictures to the food groupSlide4

Protein
Carbohydrate
Fat
Protein is used by the body to repair and build tissue in the body that has been damaged.
After any exercise muscle tissue is damaged and this is how all animals build up stronger muscle as the protein in the diet allows new stronger
m
uscle tissue to replace old damaged tissue
.
Carbohydrate is used
by
the body as an immediate energy source. If it is not used within a few hours it is turned into fat.
Carbohydrates are important as they are burned by the body to allow the body to function. This can be in many ways such as energy to supply the digestive system to digest food or energy supplied to the muscles to race 100 miles in a pigeon race.
Remember
- Your
body needs energy to perform all of its functions!
Fat is energy that has not been used by the body during exercise or normal everyday body functions.
The body can convert Carbohydrates that have not been used into fat to be stored at and used at a later date. Also the body can take in fat from the food you eat and this can also be stored energy just like a battery.Slide6
Vitamin & Minerals
Fibre
Fibre is used by the body to help with the digestion of food.
All food types need to pass through the digestive system to be used by the body. Fibre helps the digestive system work by helping the different food groups get into the red and white blood cells in the blood stream where they can be transported all around the body to be used where needed.
Vitamins and Minerals
do
different things to keep your body healthy and there is no one food that contains all of
them!
It is important that you have a good mixture of both vitamins and minerals as they are a major part of any
Balanced Diet
.Slide7

with the correct amount of nutrients each animal needs to stay healthySlide8

What did you come up with? Ok now you must feedback to the class about what you have produced for both the PIGEONS & HUMANS and why it is a
balanced diet!
Use the chart to Peer asses each other to see if other groups have got the right balanceSlide11
HUMANS – 350gProtein = 59.5gFat = 52.5gCarbohydrate = 217g
Fibre = 17.5gSalt = 3.5Answers
Pigeons – 100 g
Protein = 17g
Fat = 15g
Carbohydrate = 62g
Fibre = 5g
Salt = 1gSlide12
