Ill pigon found, i need some advice!

[Pidgey]

Frankly, it's not that easy to determine what's in the crop or how much. It's better to watch what's coming out the back end. They will almost always put out urates (concentrated urine) and bile (the dark green, almost black, paste) but true solids will be absent if nothing's going through. And, usually, an awful lot goes through a pigeon. Can you take a picture of the poops and post it?

It is not always the same, which is odd, this picture is of the past 2 hours, it just differs

[Pidgey]

That top one has an odd look to it. Can you smear it out and see if it's a real dark green?

Pidgey

[chriss80]

Yes that one is a dark green

Yes i have , i am looking farward to that, i have sent her my detailes

[Pidgey]

Okay, good. I was hoping that you'd say something like that. In that case, it's a waiting game. Any change in his appetite or thirst?

His crop food went down a little bit more and is quite small amount of seeds that I feel now. He still won’t eat and he doesn’t want to drink any water now. I am thinking that maybe in a couple of hours to force feed him with some porridge mainly.

The waiting game truly begins, i will be awake since the first hours of the morning in the next days

Yes, i talked with Cynthia and she was very helpfull

[chriss80]

I am noticing some dandruff falling off while he grooms. I reed that could be a sign of dehydration.

It's more likely that that's feather stuff. As their feathers come out of the follicles, they're encased in a sheath that has to be broken away so that the feather can expand out. That's an almost constant process that preening takes care of. As such, just about any bird is a constant source of that stuff.

All right. No wander, pigeons are so feathery
