fledging

I found a baby pigeon in Mumbai, India. It had fallen out of it's nest and was injured on it's left side. I took it in and gave it some seeds and water. I let it explore the house and it tried to fly and got hurt. It just stays in it's cage now and never comes out of it. It can't fly at all. And...

Hitchin, Hertfordshire, UK Hi All, First of all, can I just say how wonderful it is to see this forum still up and running. Up until about 8 years ago, as a 'pigeon parent' I was very active on these forums--back when it was pigeons.com and then transitioned to pigeons.biz. I was a 'senior...

I am a high school teacher and a pair of pigeons recently raised a baby on the pillar outside of my classroom. I'm a bird lover by nature and obviously became attached to the little family as baby bird grew. I noticed right before Thanksgiving break while baby bird was still in the nest that his...

Hi all, I found a feral fledgling about 4 weeks old. For simplicity, I'm calling it a 'her'. I've got her warm and Ive been rehydrating her... BUT I CAN'T GET HER TO EAT. It's been about 18 hrs now. I've got some millet mix (for budgies) with grit and crumbled peanuts in one bowl and...

Found a squab two months ago in Las Vegas, hiding behind flowerpot on concrete patio. It was there the day before and we did not want to disturb it. The next day the poor thing was laying on its side so I scooped it up into a box and brought it inside our 500sf apartment. He/she's now flying and...
