  1. Sick or Injured Pigeon and Dove Discussions
    Hi everyone, I need help deciding what to do. We had to take one of our baby pigeons in as its mother began to neglect it and pushed it out of the nest. We had no idea the extent to which the mother was neglecting it, as it seemed to be developing well, but by the time we took it in it was all...

    So pigeons Made a nest on a plant pot on my balcony. A hawk started roaming their babies. We installed a net over the pots and it seemed to work fine. However today the pigeons fell out of the nest. I don’t know if they were ready to fly yet. The parents still sit on them and feed them as in the...

    I have this baby pigeon (it’s a rescue from outside and I don’t have a flock, just 2 other rescues that I’m quarantining this baby away from) I’m guessing at most a week old, that I just yesterday I noticed a bump on and seems to be worsening. First on the left side of the neck, what I thought...

    I got a baby pigeon from a breeder to be a companion for myself. She/he is an indian fantail and the parent birds are lovely and healthy. When I got the baby she was 15 days old. Full crop and well fed by the parents. I picked up Kaytee Exact, Applesauce, ACV and pigeon prebiotics incase of crop...

    Hi - I’m a new member here looking to get some insight on my darling baby diamond dove. She’s a 6 week old baby and has been very lethargic and weak. Here’s a timeline of events: Hatched March 29, cared for very well by her parents (she was their first baby). Parents fed her regularly, and at...

    Hi, me and family have been taking care of this around 2 weeks old (I think 16 days old) squab pigeon that fell from its nest. They can't fly or walk yet, but crawls around with wings and beak. The nest was way high up (in those big palm trees), so mother decided to take it home. We've been...

  8. Wild or 'Feral' Pigeons
    3 weeks ago, a fledgling fell off my roof too early. Over the last 3 weeks, it’s parents have flown down and fed it. A neighborhood cat nearly got it one day (it flew into my pool and I had to get it out) so for the next few weeks, every night I got it into a dog crate I placed outside and every...

    Hi guys, Quick back story. Two eggs abandoned on my roof. I incubated them. Squabs pipped at 16 days, assist hatched after 32 hours. Both perfectly formed and normal. Noticed by day 6 or so that both were still very small - growing, but very slowly. Also, both were occasionally extending their...
  10. Wild or 'Feral' Pigeons
    Hey everyone, Wonder if anyone can tell me what the following motion signifies, if anything. Baby puts head down low, straightens legs and humps his back - much like the manoeuvre a cuckoo chick uses to push an egg out of the nest. I first thought this was a pooping posture, but it doesn't...
  11. Pet Pigeons And Doves
    Hi Team, I have a few questions. 1. Out of the two eggs laid, is one always a female and one a male? 2. Do the two baby birds end up as mates? Thanks in advance for your input! Sarah

    Hi, I am taking care of a baby pigeon, 3 days old that got abandoned by mom. I have been feeding him egg yolks that I slightly warmed with a pipette every three hours or so. He is on a heating pad for warmth that I check every hour but up until now I had no way of regulating his temperature. I...

    Hi, We have a pigeon that was born on our balcony. How can I tell if it is male or female? Some pictures & video here: 6 new photos by Sergiy Belozorov. I have read that it's possible to tell by holding the wings and looking whether tail is straight or upright, but I am afraid to even touch...
  17. 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...

  19. I found a pigeon or dove - now what?
    Hey everyone! Long story short, a pigeon laid eggs in my backyard by the backyard door on a pillar thing we have. It's a heavily trafficked area and we tried our best to stay away from it, but it's right by the door and we need access to our backyard for our own pets. Seemed the parents got...
