I started that way too. I came home with 6 baby pigeons that were orphaned after an old porch had been torn down. They were all over the yard. A couple of them were only maybe 2 days old, and it was a cold day in April in N.E. They would have died, had I not collected them and brought them home to try and raise, with not an ounce of pigeon knowledge. At times it was difficult and time consuming to say the least, but by the grace of God, they all made it. I found P.T. a month later. LOL. I think we all make mistakes along the way as we learn. I know I did. But any advice given here is to try to help, as we have all been there at some point. When you build the newer enclosure, you will have learned more, and will do better. The first thing you need to get is fake eggs. They are a big help. I'm glad he is doing better. Stick around and you will learn much. Welcome to Pigeon Talk.
