Hand Feeding Baby Doves and PigeonsWill this work for baby doves and pigeons (and/or other wild birds)? I own pigeons and doves and I would like to have something like this on hand just in case of emergency.

OK, thanks. Also should I just feed it with an eye dropper, or is there a better method to feed them.

My favorite method is the following:

That's a lot of formula. You can buy it in smaller amounts too which I would recommend unless you are planning to feed a lot of birds. I always keep mine in the freezer because that prolongs the shelf life.
