the bird needs to eat!-more questions we need help on below!


We found a sick pigeon with crusty oozy stuff on its eyes and the one eye so swollen its almost closed. We've cleaned the eyes, and we've been applying an eyedrop medicine for humans in the eyes. The puss is gone but the one swollen eye is not getting better at all(this is day 2). We've given it water and its been drinking, but not as much today as yesterday. Its not eating at all. We're not very confident it will make it- particularly if it won't eat. We're considering getting an eyedrop or something and feeding it. This is only our second bird that we've picked up off the street so we're still very inexperienced with such things (the first one got better and flew away after one month!). We're not sure what to give it to eat. And what else we might do for its eyes. If its just dying, what can we do to comfort it? Any thoughts appreciated!!
