and more over you can feed it with ragi, kadale bele, hasir bele. these are the normal foods that pigeons feed on. peanuts are too big for it to swallow. and never feed it with kadale pappu. hope u can understand kannada.
kadale pappu will suck the water content in its body and make it look more dehydrated.

Yes, this is only pigeon I have. He was found near an apartment. He is with me since last 8 days and he is able to eat on his own now. But I still have to force him to drink water. I guess he is a bit scared to fly from top to down, I can see him flying up to my room's loft / fan, but from there he never comes down on his own. I am still not very sure why does he not. I have now left him outside the cage so that he can try to fly inside my room. Hopefully he learns to fly soon. Is there anything that we can do to teach him how to fly ? -Devanand

flying is a natural thing
just leave him outside your apartment and he will learn by himself. since he is a feral pigeon he ay not come back but i can assure you that he will survive.

so it is ok if he does not come back to me (but I would definitely miss him  ). As long as he can survive I am fine with it.Will keep him till he gets used to flying and then let him free. -Devanand

Hey guys,
I have a question. Yesterday I was holding my pigeon in my hands noticed a small boil kind of projection on both the sides near the wings. It was identical on both the sides where the wings were getting attaches to his body. I was discussing with Sushil and we felt it could be "coracoids" (as per http://www.biosci.ohio-state.edu/~jc...m/Skeleton.swf). This projected area was not filled with puss, it was in the same color as rest of his body, it is not visible outside at all and I only felt when I was having my pigeon in my hand. I tried getting a photo but it dint come very well. I just want to make sure it is not due to paratyphoid. Can you guys please share your opinion on this? And attaching the snap of his droppings too. Please let me know if this looks normal. Thanks, Devanand Last edited by spdevanand; 18th October 2009 at 05:38 AM.

hai devanand, its the wing joints on both sides dont worry, also the stools look pretty good, except less intake of food, that should anyhow be solved over a period of time.
i suggest not to examine too much in birds

Thanks for letting me know. Yeah I am gradually reducing the amount of hand feeding to him which is alarming him to eat his food on his own. He is getting better day by day in his eating but he is also becoming more choosy He is slowly learning to fly better, but most of the times he just likes to be sitting at my room's loft. Of-course I am not very convinced to let him out of my room with his flying skills at this stage because I am sure it won't be safe for him.-Devanand

the ferral pigeons have the best flying skills you can ever see. it only depends on the environment they are in. in case the same pigeon would have been in the wild it would have by now even learnt the skill of escaping from the hawks.
anyhow here we dont have hawks like in foreign countries. they have many kinds and very good at hunting hawks / falcons when compared to city like bangalore. we are one way lucky

Yes, she is still with me.. A lot of friends from this forum are helping me to take care of her. She is a lot better these days. Except her inability to peck the seeds properly, she does not have any problems. I am trying my level to best to encourage her to peck the grains but she is learning a bit slow. She can peck uncooked rice, peanuts & linseeds so far. Once she starts pecking the other grains properly, I am planning to let her fly free
Here are few more snaps http://www.flickr.com/photos/4082566...7621986143511/
