What a precious!!!

Thank you for rescuing him.

That is a BEFORE (before eating) picture, of him with bottle right? Because afterward he would have a nice full crop and be content, or quite content until next feeding.

Thank you for sharing.

Indoors without a cage?


Thanks for the nice comments everybody! Treesa - the bottle picture is about 1/2-way through a feeding. She's gets VERY excited and active when I'm feeding her. I can tell when she's full because she starts to just stick her beak in the bottle but just play around with the food instead of eating it - plus her crop is full. =) Then she crawls back into her "nest" (was a small rodent bed, now progressed to a small cat bed) and chirps quietly for a bit.

Any suggestions on how I can keep her in my apartment without having to cage her or clean up pigeon poop from everywhere? She's starting to get more mobile. I like the pigeon diapers idea, but she's too little right now . . .

How about flying? When she starts to fly, is it safe to let her outside (I live in the middle of a city in a fairly big apartment complex)? I've raised orphaned birds before but lived in a very small town with a much bigger house. This city thing is new to me.

Thanks,
Rachel
