It would be great if you could wash his feet and it may be difficult, but keep the poop off them as best you can. Did you treat him for canker?

:'(
so it's PMV, I guess. Now what? I thought it will be a matter of a few weeks before he will fly... I can't take care of him for 6-12 weeks... In 3 weeks I need to go abroad for several weeks. And than what? who will take care of him? What shall I do?

HitchHiker.......You have done a great job with Tzip. If it had not been for the expectional care you have given him it is very questionable if he could have made it this far.
I'm sure the administrative staff here will put out an SOS for Tzip and we will find some assistance for you before you must leave to go abroad. Thanks for everything you have done and please give us an update of TZip's condition. Louise

Is there anyone that you can trust that you could leave him with?
I have sent messages to people in Cyprus that were members some years ago, but you know how it is, e-mail addresses change and you lose touch.  Cynthia

There is hope!I found a home for Tzip!!!
There's a birds park about 1 hour drive from my home (http://www.pafosbirdpark.com/bird_park.htm). I spoke with them and they agreed to take him and take care of him until he is ready to fly! Tomorrow I will take him there and will update after.

That is great, but you will have to make them aware that he has to be kept isolated from other birds for 4 weeks because until then he will still be shedding the virus until that time and could infect other pigeons.

HitchHiker,,,,,So glad you found the birdpark for Tzip, however have you told them he has PMV? Tzip can surviive, but still needs to be hand fed and will need quite a bit of isolated supportive care for quite some time.
Please be sure before you leave him there that they will not put him to sleep. Many times these places take birds in and the minute you leave they euthanize the bird. After all you have done to save him I'm sure you would not want that to happen. Thank you for taking such good care of him. Louise

Tzip found a new homeAs I mentioned last week, I found a new home for Tzip in a birds park in Paphos. They are fully aware of his condition and will continue hand-feeding and taking care of him until he gets better. That's what I call a happy ending.
I want to thank you all for all your great advice and support. Tzip would not have made it otherwise. Thank you very much! Personally, I feel like a baby-pigeon expert already and have the confidence to take care of other baby birds in case I find any. HitchHiker.
