Unhappy

Thank you! I saw that alot on youtube so i tried cutting off the top of a big syringe and i put plastik baggie on the top with a hole... They take no notice of it. I got one to eat really good out of it once but not again they dont like me, if i can make them more comfortable with feeding,will they grow to me better? Im so confused my old pigeon loved tube feeding after first try n he was my best friend, ive ben having to force feed them with syring in mouth for 3 days and they still hate it. It just breaks my heart to have to do this against their will, its so obvious they miss the comfort of their motherly way of eating. Ill try with the glove i never even thought of it. Btw i had to do this on my cell so it probaly has horrible punctuation and spelling! Sorrry and any advice woupd b the best

in reply to maryjanes post, i did try this syringe DIY with a pigeon i recently found, and i found it very effective. i used a yellow rubber glove, and i think that yellow is probably the best colour to use, if any. my pigeon went mental over it before it even knew what it was. i had the same problem as you to begin with and i just couldn't get it to open its mouth. it drinks straight out of this though, its great!

hey, i'm 15 aswell, i found a pigeon in my mates gargden two days ago and it hated eating anything. you probs read my earlyer message, but i do think that using bright yellow is the best way.

oo nice!


i gave up on the rubber glove syring feeding, they are starting to go into eating chunky mixture and also both have started to eat on their own after tons of practice! althought they will only do it when im their "pecking" at the peas and corn with my finger. do u still have your pigeon and is it doing well?
