I found a baby pigeon a few weeks ago that i’ve been slowly taking care of and there were no issues in its behaviour until recently. I used to feed it kaythe exact formulae 3 times a day when its crop was near empty. recently, the bird became sick and is showing signs of weak legs and laboured...

Hi, I'm from singapore and found a squab hiding behind a rubbish dump in the rain, I've tried calling the SPCA but it seems them don't take in birds of any kind, so I've been following instructions from some rescue sites in terms of feeding (Mashed oats and calcium powder(from my turtles) and a...

I noticed that one of my rescue pigeons was retaining water in the Crop and looked a little lethargic. I removed him from the loft and isolated him to better assets his condition. I checked his Crop and I noticed that he had a few grains and once I gently press on the crop I noticed that...

last week my pigeon was having open mouthed breathing & wheezing noise. The vet asked me to give her deriphyllin(etofylline+theophylline) 0.3 ml as he suspected respiratory problem & it would help her with breathing. I gave her some homeo medicines. The breathing improved in 2days so I reduced...

Hey guys So wen i woke up this morning i realized that one of my birds had a sour/impacted crop. I massaged his crop and he ended up vomiting most of the impacted stuff out. But now it seems like a chunk of food or something got stuck in his throat and he is having difficulty breathing!! He...

Hi, My pigeon has got a sour crop after some days on the antibiotics which the vet prescribed. I took her to the vet but he says its gas/air not fluid. I need to empty the crop & he dosent have the Stainless steel ball tip needles which are safer. She is eating & pooping but there is still...

I am starting a new thread on Rudy, since I need help real fast. Yesterday, I noticed her looking a bit off. She had just starting mating Ruku, and I thought she might just be exhausted. Today morning, I saw her standing all bent over, with the the crop extending forwards. I took her in, and fed...

I have two babies recently rescued from a building site at home, and one of them seems less hungry and less active than the other. I would not say the slow pigeon is unhealthy looking, but I am worried it may develop into something worse if I do not do something now. Yesterday I had to feed the...

Hi folks -- I have a question regarding Freebird, a young homing pigeon who belongs to another board member (Squeaker). Freebird suffered a hawk attack a few months ago -- his injury was fairly extensive, and he was not treated with antibiotics (except topically) following the attack. He...

I have a Cock bird that is mating with a hen that has laid one egg and he can't release the air in his neck to the point his back of head is puffed up too. I used a #20 needle released the air but next day same thing, I think he has ruptured his craw and air is forced between craw and skin...

I'll start off by saying I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I have never dealt with a bird before and am really upset over whether or not I'm actually killing the poor thing :( I ended up with her when she came to me doorstep, literally. Her parents built a very tiny, flimsy nest...

Quick question for you all. I took a look at my Lahore hen today because she hadnt been acting like the other birds lately. She has just been sitting in her box and not really moving around. And I noticed her crop looked a little bigger than it usually does. So I picked her up and opened her...

Aias found a grounded banded pigeon yesterday. We're calling her Nina. Anyway, originally, I didn't think it looked like there was anything wrong with her. I thought maybe just lost and dehydrated. Her feet/wings looked fine, she wasn't too puffed up and looked alert. So we set her up with a...
