The physiology of pigeons is studied much less, than agricultural birds. The problems of the contents and dynamics of microelements of organs and tissues of pigeons aren't investigated at all. This kind of bird can serve as model of development of a paradigm of new approach at a choice lacking in the environment of microelements. In the article problems of dynamics of microelements in organs and tissues of pigeons of various breeds in ontogenesis are in details considered. An established fact of redistribution of microelements between a shell, egg white and yolk in the course of an embryogenesis of pigeons. Distinctions in the content of metals at pigeons of various breeds are revealed. Low level of manganese and high concentration of chrome are distinguishes pigeons from animals. In a liver of pigeons for 83 percent, iron - by 5 times, manganese - by 1,3 times, and zinc 65 percent more relatively than quantity of these elements in a liver of three-months baby birds aged there is less than magnesium. Magnesium in a cardiac muscle of adult pigeons have more than at baby birds on 23 percent, and it is less than iron and zinc on the 48th percent also 54 percent.
