Found A Bird - Need Help


Wow! I just found a baby tiny bird and from reading I am guessing I have a white pigeon. I just signed up here today and am not sure how to go about posting pics yet but I do have pics of him. I had him about 24 hours now and am doing the best I can to care for him...but I've never done this before. I have managed to get him to drink and I think he ate a little bit today. ANY advice or help would be MUCH appreciated!

Any ideas about his age? If he is eating and drinking he should be at least three weeks old. Is he sick, injured, how did you get him?

Heat is essential, put him on a heating pad set on low and wrapped in a towel. You can get baby bird formula at most pet shops, Kaytee is a common brand. Follow directions on the package for feeding. Please let us know if he made it and how things are going.

When you're making a post, if you'll look below the text-entry window there's a "Go Advanced" button. When it changes to that page after you click it, there will be a "Manage Attachments" button down below (you'll need to scroll down). Pictures have to be less than 100 KB in order to post so you'll probably have to use Paint or a Photoshop kind of program to modify them smaller.

I sent this person an email as we have several members in the area that can at the least give some phone advise.
