soaked puppy chow

Hi Folks! Whilst searching information on how to feed a baby pigeon I came across this forum. I need help; my dad rescued a baby pigeon from the crows who I think must have got it dropped from the nest. The poor squab looks to be around 17-23 weeks old and its one eye is blind and its one claw...

I am looking after my grandfathers pigeons while he is away and i have noticed that one of the babies (about 20 days) has got a really swollen leg- too swollen even to determine whether it is broken or not. He moved out of the nest and was on a flat ground for a few days-could it be splay legs...

My daughter found a pigeon flopping around on the street several hours ago in Bilbao Spain. We are from the US and do not know if there is a place to take sick and injured birds here like we have in Florida and have no idea how to even begin to find something like this out here. We gently...

Greetings fellow forum members- My daughter brought me a pigeon that she's been watching for the past few days. She had noticed it did not look good (one bad leg, beak is askew, tail feathers messed up) and has been keeping an eye on it when the local pigeons come to eat seeds from our yard...

Hello Everyone! It seems like ages since I've been on here. My babies are doing good, Winnie and Brodie finally started getting along (it only took them months, lol) and are constantly trying to hatch little ones (I almost feel guilty for not letting them, I just can't afford to have any more...

When I was outside today I found a pigeon near the side of the road. It was lying on the side of it's head which I found quite odd and was alone so I brought it home since I thought it might be hurt or something. My mother who has had pigeons before said that it looks to be around four weeks old...

I'm being a pest eh? I'm sorry I have so many questions. I have turkey, rice and veggie pablum as someone recommended. Zion LOVES it. He started eating on his own now. He pecked at the bottle and started eating the drips on the rim so I started spoon feeding him. Hes doing great. I need to...

My neighbor came and told he had a very pretty pigeon at his wild bird feeder and thought it was mine.It wasn't mine but I still brought it home it eats a little but is so thin. How can I fatten it up I gave it some garlic and that didn't go over very well. :) Also I'm trying to find a very...

Hi all, first of all, Ive checked the chevita site for symptoms and treatments and come to a conclusion that my bird (which has lost a lot of weight in the last 2 weeks, and cannot fly anymore) has been infected with salmonella, and the treatment required for it is chloramphenicol-IP (paraxin) -...

Hi, On Saturday I saw a little pigeon walking around Venice Beach. It was limping and looked weird. I found out that it had fallen out of it's nest the night before and one of the employees at the food place was sort of taking care of it. It wasnt an infant but it wasnt fully grown either...

I've been feeding my pigeon with a syringe that lacks a tube to lead down the crop. My feeding method has been to pry open his beak, stick the tip of the nozzles behind his toung, and squirt as much in I can before the bird makes it apparent that it wants to swallow or breath. He doesn't like me...

Hi, I was refered to Pigeontalk from Starlingtalk (My nick there is Alyse, so wave a wing if we know eachother!) :) My situation is I found a baby pigeon and I might like to keep him as a pet. He is extremely tame, but I've never owned a dove or pigeon so I need your help! My first question is...
