Please put the baby on heating pad set on low, with towel in between. Put the baby in a box in a room with subdued lighting and quiet without a lot of traffic coming thru. Make sure there are no drafts on it.
Are you in England? We have several rehabbers there and they have handled woodies, perhaps they can help. Please let us know your exact location. Woodies are easily stressed, as I have learned, so the less stress the better. Basic steps to sving a birds life. http://www.pigeons.biz/forums/showthread.php?t=11265 hand feeding hatchlings: http://www.internationaldovesociety....ecipesinfo.htm

Hi Jeddygirl
Please follow Treesa's links and advice for the pigeon for the moment. I have privately e-mailed two memebers in the UK who have experience with Woodpigeons. Can you advise where you are located? Tania

Hello, please don't panic! First let him warm up.
Did his parents manage to feed him at all? That will have given him a good start. THis is a link to how to feed pigeons from day one, it was written by one of our UK moderators. http://www.internationaldovesociety....eedinghelp.htm Can you let us know where you are? Cynthia

If you have a heat pad, pl follow Treesa's suggestion. If not, baby should be kept warm on a hot water bottle covered with towel. If you have a low wattage heat lamp, even better.
**Any pigeon raisers know if parents with young babies would 'adopt' another? ** I personally have not had to deal with a baby that young, I'mafraid... Have you ever crop-fed birds with a syringe and tube, and have the necessary equipment? You know how baby pigeons feed by putting their beaks in the mouth of the parent? This can be simulated with a cut-off syringe. Please look at http://community.webshots.com/user/cyro51 and go to "Feeding Techniques :- Syringe and Balloon Method" For this you will need baby bird rearing formula (like Kaytee Exact for all baby birds) or something similar.

Hello,
If you have a baby the same age being fed by parents you could swap them over for a single meal. You have to be careful though, to ensure that the parents are still feeding pigeon milk rather than seeds . I have had apair of feral pigeons feeding a baby woodie. Cynthia
