keeping and nursing a young pigeon

[bklowe]

Do you have the resources to take a digital picture of Sunshine and post it here ? If so that would help a great deal in giving members of the forum more information to help you. Have you tried to locate a local pigeon fancier ? I don't know where you live, but letting Sunshine forage around the yard could put s/he at risk for predators .... hawks, falcons, cats, etc.

You tried to help. Unfortunately, he or she will probably not survive now. It's a shame you were not permitted to keep him for a little while longer. The poor bird will not be able to escape predators. He was "robbed" of the time he needed, but that was not your fault. Thanks for noticing him & trying to help.

thankyou all for being so kind and considerate. i often go back to where i let sunny go and just swing on the rope swing. there is a nest in the hollow of the tree where pigeons are nesting and once i saw some galahs fosicking in the hollow.
