Hi Paloma,

Did you get an anti-bacterial for the wound, until you get to the vet?

You should get him regular pigeon grit. You can give him a multi-vitamin (for birds or specifically for pigeons) with calcium magnesium and vitamin D and trace minerals for proper absorbption. You should be able to get the grit thru a pet store or pigeon supply house.

Hi Rena,

please don't give him too much salt and sugar. This mixture is good to stabilize a sick or injured bird and is given only one time. After the bird starts eating and drinking by himself follow Treesa's advice on nutrition.
