2 weeks ago, my sisters' friend (who works at a vets) phoned my sister and asked her if we wanted a pigeon (i think it's a
wood pigeon). The vets couldnt find anything wrong with it, so tried to release it 3 times! but he just stands there! If you throw him into the air, he makes no attempt to flap his wings - just splats on the floor! He looks really healthy and eats like a pig, so i dont know what to do with him - i dont want to keep him cooped up!
As for the other one, well when we went to the vets to get the above pidge, they asked us if we wanted a baby, so we thought "why not?!" Again, he's been eating fine and we just assumed that once he was weaned, he could be released (that's what the vets told us), but i've noticed that he spends a LOT of his time sat down. He stands up to run away from us when we try and catch him, but then IMMEDIATELY sits down. Is this normal? Im not sure of his exact age. he was still quite fluffy when we got him (2 weeks ago), but he's lost all of that now (he's still a lot smaller than the other pidge though).
They're both living together and get on really well. We've been feeding them
wild bird seed, pigeon corn, bread (soaked) and bits of apple. Is this ok?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'd love to let them go.
Thanks very much. Lou. x
