    I have a 4 day old squab that is eating and eliminating well, but has a big crop. What can I do? He does not seem bothered by it, but I was told that I should not feed him unless it is emply. If I waited for it to empty, he will surely die. I did give him apple cider vigenar and Pedialyte...

  8. Wild or 'Feral' Pigeons
    Miri was very sick yesterday and I was so worried I took her to the vet last night. Although he treats other animals, he does specialize in birds. When I talked to him on the phone, I trusted the sound of his voice. He said it could be one of three things: not enough energy (although based on...
