Help I Found Hurt young Black Pigeon Help

Thanks for helping this baby. If he has an extra long beak, that means he is definitely a youngster. He will grow into his beak. As Charis said, please do keep him indoors with you until he is grown, eating on his own, and acting confident (perfectly worded Charis hehe). You can keep him in the kennel as long as he has plenty of time out of it to stretch his wings and practice flying.

Don't feel bad that he's not tame, sometimes even the ones raised by hand aren't tame at all, and other times completely wild ones will be friendly. It just depends on the pigeon. Make sure he has some red grit if you can find some; usually pet shops and feed stores carry it and it's cheap. You can use your finger to "peck" at the seeds and help him learn to eat faster. Then just follow the rest of Charis's advice and when he is ready, you can release him into the flock, which sounds like a safe place to be released. Please feel free to ask any other questions you have.

Tammie you are doing great, when they are ready to grow up they kind of have a way of telling you, we have reared 40+ youngsters this year, one in particular is a good example, when he was little I would go into the loft and he would fly straight to me and land on my head, now he has grown a little when I walk toward him he lets out this funny squak coz he is telling me I'm grown I do not wnat to be handled and I've known this terror since he was an egg, so please don't feel bad about Aunrey not wanting to sit on your hand, you are doing everything you possibly can to help him grow into a healthy adult, and by listening to the good advice you will get from the guys on these pages you will get all the support you need.
As a relative novice to pidgies myself you can handle him, I had a phobia of ALL BIRDS a year ago, I wouldn't get out of my car if there was a bird on the pavement, in case it GOT me!!! But now I quite happily will gointo our lofts with 120+ birds flying about, I find to catch them it took me ags to learn, and there is still ones now I can't catch as I can't move very quickly, but it's best if you can gently shepherd them into an enclosed area, if he will still go into the carrier great, then reach your hand inside and try to hold one wing against the side of his body, and hold without squeezing, and bring the bird out and rest his chest against your chest and hold his other wing down (once he naturally stops flapping it and puts it down himself) against his body, then you will find your own grip, some people restrain the feet to help hold the bird, but some of this will depend on how big your hands are. Then you can move your hands around to gently examine where necessary. Please let us know how you get on?
