I believe they actually sell pigeon feed some places - maybe call your local feed and tack store Since he/she's got adult feathers, he/she will have started eating an adult diet by now Grabbed from a pet pidgeon website:

"The easiest food to feed a fledgling pigeon is commercial bird food designed for young birds. Mix it with water according to the package directions to create a paste to feed to your fledglings. If you don’t have access to pigeon food, feed them chick starter powder or crumbles soaked until you can easily smash it with your fingers. In an emergency, soak some dog food or dog biscuits until the food is saturated and looks full and fluffy, then break it into small, manageable bits.


On how to feed the little cutie:

If the fledglings have been raised by their parents up to this point it may be easiest to use a syringe with a tube on the end to feed them. This comes closest to simulating the feeding methods adult pigeons use. You can feed fledgling pigeons fed directly from your hands without the need for any type of equipment.

Baby pigeons don’t open their mouths to be fed, so the first thing you have to do is to gently pry a mouth open. This is best done with two people, one to hold the bird and one to feed it. When the fledgling is ready, carefully put the food in the pigeon’s mouth. Place bits of soaked kibble or biscuit on the bird’s tongue and allow it to swallow. When using a syringe, place the tube in the back of the bird’s mouth and down into its crop before you press the plunger. Stop when the crop is full.

Overfilling the pigeon’s crop can cause it to become loose and develop folds that will hold food until it rots, causing serious health problems. Stop feeding before the bird’s crop is completely full, and allow it time to digest before feeding it again. Let the crop empty all the way at least once a day. Between meals, provide fledglings with a few seeds so they can learn to eat on their own."

Hope that helps Best of luck! ♥

thankyou very much!

i will go and get some pidgeon food right now ^^

do you think that the dry grass is enough warm for it?

I think the temperature probably isn't a problem for it anymore, since it's getting it's feathers Is the dry grass like alfalfa for rabbits? Or grass from the yard? Because when pigeons are grazing in the grass, they're actually eating the grass seeds, not the grass itself, so if it's the type in pet stores I don't know if it it will still have the seeds in the stalk ^_^; It'd probably be better to get grass just outside somewhere. But I would leave some out for him/her in case she tries to go for it If there's seeds at all, hopefully he/she will be able to find it

it's grass from outside, i think it has a few pine tree thingies, but i can get those grass that has seeds (i've seen many birds eating from those, so i think this one can eat it too ^^ <3 )

Yep, that would be great! I can tell he/she would like it ^_^ Best of luck with all of this! You're really sweet to have rescued him/her

Okay so my dad raised pigeons and he likes this advice a lot so yeah I say go with that. Also he says they will walk on you with adorably warm feet/talons so be ready for joy if it walks all over you.

i would do a google search or go on a pigeon fancier forum (; my granpa bred homing pigeons but i'm afraid i don't know much myself apart from that baby birds die from shock waaaaay more easier than adult birds and it's the biggest killer so keep it in a nice calm silent dark place and if you can maybe try find a rescue who will take the lil one in or they can give you the things you need to help raise him/her.I raised a crow but i failed many times with smaller birds.

thanks for the advice, i will try to make the cage a safer place for it ^^ <3

you raised a crow? that's awesome. ive heard crows are actually really awesome pets, due to their intelligence

yeah his name was Jock we kept him for a little while cause he was a Juvi that was getting kicked around the school ground and i couldn't see his parents even after school there was no sign of his family so i foolishly took him home (i was 15) he was released once he was able to fly and he actually was reunited with his parents (;

ive always dreamed of taking up Falconry and having a Falcon for a companion, apparently they can be quite loyal and useful companions.

Well for if it can eat solid food like say shelled sunflower seeds then that is sorted just go buy some and put it in a stable cup it can not knock over as well as the same for a rather large dish of water and likely a smaller one to save time so it will always have a clean drinking source.

If it can not eat you still need the seeds and water and an eye dropper that is not all to fine. Smash it to a paste with water and feed it with said paste about 7 time a day, It is rather obvious if they are hungry they chirp and or look like they are about to run out of air.

After it you feel it can fly you can let it go just keep in mind it may now love you and not want to go very far. If not keep a decent cadge outside or even just a bird house (preferably both) if not and it appears to want to be all independent good but still it know you so, keep a bird house unless you have a lot of tress or other places to make nests.

I have never had a bird stay with me over 9-ays but I have got them out of walls or save them from window smashes and they have all done well but I do have a Blue Jay (Who i call Frank) that has an odd perpetual house around me and i doubt Frank goes far so I just have a place for him to roost and some seed and a bird bath year round. He has at least one mate and 3... ehr... what ever you call a baby bird chick perhaps but they will be off by October.

This may not be the best info ever but it worked for me.

this helps a lot really ^W^ <3

i have many many trees and other birds around my home, so when it can fly by itself it will have lots of places to make a home, but i will try to make a bird house to keep outside too ^w^ <3

thankyou very much ^^

NP they are rather cheep and if you have any access to basic power tools can be made for under 15$ for less than an hour of work. With paint you may not even need birds! You may just think it looks awesome and thus remains in your yard... likely to be invaded by squeals and thus all chomped up.

standard birdfeed and water, just use an eyedropper to helpit eat and drink. I rescued a cardinal once, was an adorable little thing

thanks for the avice! i already have some food and the eyedropper, i will feed it once i see it's hungry ^^ <3

vaya.....es muy nueva...
he cuidado muchas palomas y algunas otras aves salvajes, lo que yo he hecho es darles un poco de pan con agua, a veces les daba maiz triturado...mmmm
mejor que no la devolvistes al nido, a veces estan en el piso por que la madre las bota, y a veces al dejarle en el nido nuevamente es atacada
ojala puedas cuidarla y este bien :3
despues de un tiempo se apegan a uno eso si

yo le intente dar pan mesclado con agua como me dijeron, pero no lo come , y eso me esta preocupando :c

ademas, de que se empluma y pia asi re bajito y no se, como que me da cosa que tenga frio o algo TwT <3

Aww how noble of you.

thanks :3

es que de chicos no comian los mios
los obligaba abriendoles con cuidado el pico y metiendoles un poco de pan mojado

suelen piar asi por que estan asustados
si es nuevito :c

ahi le pude dar de comer un poco, solo espero que no tenga frio y que pase bien la noche

cuida de que no pase frio y cubre la jaula :c

Tratá por todos los medios de devolverlo a su nido. Es MUY dificil cuidar de un pichon y que pase vivo de los 2 días. No te preocupes por el aroma y eso: los pajaros no usan el olfato para reconocer a sus crias.

Ante todo, que no esté expuesto a sonidos fuertes, ni a la luz de noche, ni al frio. preparale una pasta con semillitas, galletitas molidas, agua y leche, y metesela hasta el fondo de la garganta con una jeringa (SIN AGUJA!!!)
Si sobrevive, tenes que enseñarle a picar el suelo (pone semillitas y porquerias asi en el suelo y hace como que picas con los dedos) y despues enseñarle a volar (te lo pones en el brazo y empezas a moverlo de manera que de a poco pierda el equilibrio y vaya usando las alitas para mantenerse, cuando sepa hacerlo lo vas "lanzando" con el brazo desde poca altura tipo 20cm y despues cada vez más. Atencion: aprenden a volar antes que a aterrizar, no te asustes XD

recien leo eso de que no come XD mujer, los pichones NO SABEN comer. Tenes que meterles la comida hasta el fondo de la boca, como hacen los padres. Es dificil, y cuando el bicho se acostumbre a vos va a piar a los gritos como un condenado para que lo alimentes, y no va a parar de piar hasta que esté lleno. Son lo más tierno XD

si si, se como alimentarlo, acabo de darle de comer, y hice un journal nuevo sobre este cosito

pero igual, el nido estaba en un 4to piso y el arbol no tenia ramas para subir, no podia escalar en plena calle (con los canas dando vuelta en la esquina) x_x
