Thank you for the update on Gregory.

We appreciate you picking up some bird seed for him. Pigeons don't open the shells from the seeds like other birds can, so he may not be able to eat the millet.

Thank you also for providing him with grit. I'm not sure if he can get the coarse grit down as they make special grit for pigeons.

They like small black oil sunflowers seeds, (and they do eat them with shells) and love safflower seed in moderation. Dry green peas, barley, whole corn, are also good for them.

Youngsters love to bathe and generally will find any thing big enough to bathe in, even their drinking bowl. I found that cutting a hole in a gallon water jug and using that for drinking works great. They have just enough room to stick their heads in but can't get inside or poop in it.

I hope he hasn't left you with too much work with the little messes he is making, but he sounds like he is very happy and healthy little guy!

Thank you for your continued care of Gregory.

Hi Cap'n,

Gregory is just too adorable. Wouldn't know he just dropped in on you, seems like he was always just part of the gang! Very kind of you and your wife to spot for him while figuring out what to do.
