  2. I found a pigeon or dove - now what?
    I recently rescued 2 baby Zebra doves whose nest was destroyed in an apartment building corridor. The smaller of the pair was not well, with injuries and lots of feathers missing (suspect nest was attacked by other birds?) and died after a day or two but the bigger one seems to be doing well...

    I found a baby dove at the park. It's so small if I hadn't almost stepped on it I would have noticed it was there. It does appear to have a broken wing and has blood in one of the nostrils. Is that a very bad sign? I've already started with the heating pad, looking for the right temperature...

    I have recently hatched my first ringneck dove chick (yay!) but the doves seem to have taken all of the bedding out of their nest! I tried to put more bedding in their cage for them to use, but they don't seem really interested in it. They are taking care of the chick just fine but I am worried...
  5. I found a pigeon or dove - now what?
    I have a baby mourning dove that is about 4 days old. I believe it might have a respiratory infection as it seems to be breathing heavily, its head tilts a bit to one side, and he/she has made a clicking noise a few times while breathing. He/she is also very twitch-y. This is my first time...

Someone saved him from a cat and brought him to me (because I have already taken care of other pigeons/doves/birds). He has a bruise on his left knee and a lack of feathers in...

    The first picture is of his right cheek that is normal. The other side is the swollen side and the straight on photo you can see how it's swollen. I just noticed this bump yesterday, not sure how long it's been like that. I was planning to release him in a couple weeks. He's been doing well...

    Hello, I am asking this on behalf of a friend: she has a pair of doves nesting in a tree, and they have chicks. One of them died from the cold (of the chicks) and she is concerned about the other. The chick is just starting to learn how to fly. Is there anything she can do to help him? He is not...

    I'm hoping for some advice on baby pigeons' feet. I live in Asia somewhere where the help of an expert or ready made supplies does not appear to be readily available. I am hoping for some advice from forum members here on the following situation in the meantime. Here's a quick run-down of...

    Hey guys, We have a white-winged fledgling dove named Norman. (pics below). He came to us by accident and we're trying to do the best we can. I'm just looking for experienced opinions - I know it's hard to tell from an online post what's really normal or not. I'm estimating he's about 14-16...
  12. I found a pigeon or dove - now what?
    Little backstory of this dove is that we have these nests by our front door, but there are also screech owl nests and red tailed hawks near by that hunt these doves and unfortunately the mother and father of these eggs were eaten so i incubated the eggs. One of them actually hatched and now im...

    Hello, I wanted to ask about my black collard dove. It was born the same day as its sibling and is definitely not thriving the same. Right from the first week it was half the size although it was feeding from the parent it is so far behind. It is not walking correctly and its feathers are...

    Hello, I live near Aliso Viejo in California. Three days ago our baby cockatiel escaped (she's back) and we happened to talk to our neighbor who has a cat later in the day she stopped by and said her cat had this baby in her mouth. She hadn't been damaged, she said it was her chance at life. In...
  17. Pet Pigeons And Doves
    This is the first time I've seen both parents off the nest - even if it was just for a moment. :) I took a quick photo. These babies are 6 days old. Question: Should I keep providing hay for them to add to their nest? I know they enjoy doing this but I was concerned that the nest might fill...

    Hey guys. Just got a good look at our new babies. The older one is starting to get the feathers. And the younger one has this chipmunk like bulge in its neck like storing food. Is this normal or something to be worried about. Still moves around normally.
