New Pigeon


Here is the latest addition to the family. Just picked up this morning at "our bridge". So far, seems well. Weighs 280 grams. Crop packed full and pooping good and it looks ok. We're holding off with any meds.

He is soooo cute!

Good Morning Maggie,

Whats you got there? He looks so innocent as to what the future brings him. I am sure glad that you have him, at least now he has a future. I was thinking of you this morning as I was trying to feed my three squeakers, and wondering how does Maggie do it. With love, I guess!

Love Ya
Feather

Hi Maggie,

What a cutie for sure, and looks to be in very good health and by the sounds of it. Good luck with this young pigeon.

Hi Maggie. Looks like he/she will be a beauty. Love the coloring! At first, when looking at the head and beak, I though "dove."

Keep us updated...

Hi Maggie,

He is very beautiful, reminds me of my Jose and Josefina! What is wrong with him?

Looks like a little grizzle. It will be pretty when it's all feathered out. Cool....

He really is a beautiful little guy. The picture doesn't do justice to his color. We just fed him for the first time (took 30 cc) and he did very well. I put seed in with him but I don't think he knows just yet what to do with them. We'v been pecking away with him so hopefully he'll catch on soon. I am so pleased with his poops. His parents have taken very good care of him.

Cynthia, so far there seems to be nothing wrong with him. Just can't fly. He was so lucky not to get run over because he fell in the middle of the bridge which has a solid concrete wall and only a small space that he could stand on. Thank goodness he is at least large enough that he could flap on the way down. My husband went back this pm to see if its sibling had decided to bail out and unfortunately saw one that had been run over since this morning. There was not enough left to determine color or size. So sad.

Oh I feel so sorry for the other one that didn't make it. I too buried a pigeon today. It was run over in the parking lot in a place I never go to. Sometimes those birds like to wander all over the place and never look out for danger.

I hope this pigeon gets nice and plump with your care.
