Seasonal Bird Movements in Argentina: When to Come

🕊️ Seasonal Bird Movements in Argentina: When to Come

September 17, 20251 min read

One of the secrets to planning a successful dove or pigeon hunt in Argentina is understanding how birds move throughout the year. With more than 20 years of experience in the fields of Córdoba, here’s what every hunter should know.


📆 February to April – Pre-Harvest Stage

During these months, fields aren’t yet producing grain. Birds concentrate around feedlots, where cattle are fed corn. With limited food sources, these areas become prime hunting grounds. Expect fast action and short travel distances.


🌾 March to May – Harvest Season

This is when Argentina’s bird hunting truly comes alive. The harvest of corn and peanuts leaves massive amounts of grain on the ground, attracting countless doves and pigeons. Feeding becomes highly predictable, creating opportunities for record shooting days.


🏞️ August and Beyond – Post-Harvest & Feedlots

After the harvest, leftover grain continues to attract birds. Combined with active feedlots, hunters enjoy excellent short-range hunts with concentrated bird numbers. Cooler weather makes for comfortable days in the field.


🎯 Why This Matters for Hunters

Knowing when birds move and why they concentrate in certain areas helps you:

  • Pick the best month for your goals

  • Align your expectations with field conditions

  • Maximize success with the right preparation


🕊️ Plan with Confidence

Every season in Argentina offers something unique. The key is matching your preferences with the natural rhythm of the birds.
