Welcome to Pigeon talk and thanks for taking in this young bird. Where are you located (UK?). We have some people there that can help you, but for now, you need to bring it in, if you haven't already and keep it safe and warm until morning.
Can you post pictures? That will help people to better assist you. Other experts will be along shortly to help you. I'll see if anyone is online that has the expertise you need and pm them to come here. Here's a link to the resource page http://www.pigeons.biz/forums/f25/ Scroll down through to get some good information. Hang on, help is on the way, and thanks again for taking in this little one.

Hi Gill,
Our regulars in the UK have gone to bed most likely, but we'll private message a few of them so they'll see someone needs help the next time they log in. We do have several members over there. I've also pm'ed another member (currently on) to take a look at this thread.

Gill, you said this baby wouldn't take a drink of water. Pigeons do not open their mouth for you to put in water or food. You will have to gently pry open his little beak and put the water in. You must be very careful though not to let he water go down the wrong hole. It's actually best if you dribble the water along the side of the beak a few drops at a time and let the baby swallow. Once he realizes what you are doing, he let you give him a drink a littlr easier. PLease do bring in the bird so it won't be out during the night.

Hi Gill m,
Besides the dog food and bran, do you have any frozen corn or peas? Have you brought the bird in?

Don't worry. I can't figure out how to post pictures either.
You don't need to mash the corn to feed the bird. The defrosted frozed corn will be great because of the moisture in it. After defrosted open the birds mouth. Put the bird in your lap and gently pry the beak open and pop in a piece of corn toward the back of the throat. The bird should swallow on it's own. You're going to need to feed quite a bit. Perhaps 5-6 teaspsoons full. I'll keep checking to see if you need help.

I will keep checking in, Renee. Go do the things you need to do.

Gill, just got your e-mail. Do as I instructed and put the baby to bed and you get some sleep. He'll be ok until in the morning. Thanks.
