Wood Pigeon Advice


Hi, We have found a pigeon on the grass in our garden, we are pretty sure that it is a wood pigeon, we brought it indoors as many cats are local to the area and it was unsafe to leave it on the floor.

We know next to nothing about raising a pigeon, but so far, we have cleaned out an old gerbil cage, and created a makeshift nest of sawdust, kitchen roll, and flannels.

We have only managed to feed it water, through a straw.
And given it roughly two tea spoons of weak watery ready-break.
But are concerned this isn't the correct food it should be eating.

We want to do all we can, to keep the bird alive, so any advice you can give us would be very helpfull.

We are unsure of its age, however it is without feathers, and has small yellow tufts of fluff on its head and back, its skin is clearly visible through the fluff.
Its eyes stay closed the majority of the time, yet it has opened its eyes a few times.
