I'm in the Sherman Oaks California. My neighbor found a pigeon in her front yard which can't fly. She put it into a large cat carrier and called me (I'm the animal person on the street). I know nothing about birds. The only bird I tried to save died at the vet, so I don't feel good about that...
:( The title pretty much says it all, I went out at 12:00 to clean the loft and check on him. His parents didn't sit on him last night, maybe because he is too big now... but was cold so I brought him inside and in that time he hasn't pooped once, his crop hasn't emptied either... :( :confused:
My little sister and friends "found" these pigeons and brought them home.. they kept them hidden for 3 days and now told me about it. I tried giving them water from an old spoon i had, one of them drank but the other didn't. What do i feed them and how? I have regular bird food... please help...
I have a baby that I saved from starvation. So far I have only been the parents for 1 day and it is still alive I need some help as I have no idea what I am doing I read an article that said the firdt thing you should give them is yogurt as it has alot of the digestive enzymes that they need...
My pigeon, Muffin, hasn't been acting quite that well for a little while now. She always looks terrible if she doesn't have water even for a few minutes. While "Master Toady", her mate, always acts and looks energetic. When she's thirsty, even a little bit, she gets squinty eyes and sits on...

First, let me introduce myself... I was referred to you by a volunteer of Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue, of which I am a volunteer. Even though they are based in the Bay Area and I live in Las Vegas, I still do what I can to help them and their parrots from a distance. Micakboo has...
Hi Guys,
Sorry I've been gone, too much going on here.
We got in a white pigeon last night from a vet, but something is wrong with it.
First its young. Not sure how young, but young.
Full grown, but still has that bump thing on its beak (sorry for the seriously technical term). His poops are...
I wrote in a couple of weeks ago about a baby pigeon I was raising who had a swollen crop. I got lots of great advice, thank you everyone. My vet sent me Itraconozole for what I suspected was yeast. It was, and he is now yeast free. Had to take him to the vet a few days later though as his crop...

HI ALL,
Just got a little pigeon yesterday who needs long term nursing care. My rehabber friend got it two weeks ago from Animal control. Someone had set it on fire. Nearly all it's feathers are burned off. It's feet and legs are the worst, swelling and eschar. It is going to need daily soaks...
Hello everyone
This little guy fell out of our tree on Saturday morning. He had a sibling which was already dead when we found them, and there were also large maggots in the nest, the reason for which I am not sure.
We think he is either a pigeon or a dove.
My daughter has been feeding him a...
Baby Dove..Help!

Bought it home cpz of the dogs and it seems the bird cant Fly and making Strange noise, What to do?? :confused:

This pigeon most likely came from my roof top as we have lots of them here. They like the weather.
I bought the hand fed formula and some other foods, not knowing how old it was.
I put it on a heating pad under a two towels but not before putting it in a strainer with shredded paper and a few...

I just got in from my nightly rounds through my lofts.... I knew something was wrong when I hit the breeding section. The black checker splash I picked up a month or so ago, as I walked into the loft him breathing. So I picked him up and held him, his pulse was so fast that I couldn't count even...
I posted in another thread about possibly picking up a few pigeons to keep as pets , and doing a lot of reading on the subject since I really am a complete novice on bird keeping . Now I'm wondering .... how do you deal with any sickness and preventative maintanence problems with your birds ...
I just took in another pigeon. She or he can barely fly. I think I have seen him many times before come to my terrace to eat. He is definitely not a young pigeon. The only thing I can find wrong by examining his body is that his breast bone is very sharp and there is a surface wound that looks...
Well the title on this one says it all. Sugar and Sanjaya are not sitting on Salt and Joy. They haven't been properly sitting for a few days and the babies were starting to seem listless. They are still feeding, thank God.
So I went out and got a mini reptile warmer and stuck it under a plate...
