Found a squab two months ago in Las Vegas, hiding behind flowerpot on concrete patio. It was there the day before and we did not want to disturb it. The next day the poor thing was laying on its side so I scooped it up into a box and brought it inside our 500sf apartment. He/she's now flying and doing acrobatics in the apartment.
Andi eats finch and wild bird seeds mix. I feed Andi a couple of handful of sunflower seeds each day. And as I type this, he just pooped on my arm and is trying to pull out the eraser head on the laptop. Now cooing as I wipe his poop from my arm. He's grown up in the last few weeks, 2x bigger and more independent.
I think it is ready to go but part of me has grown attached to 'Andi'. Vet said bird is a little too thin still and said it is up to me to release Andi or keep him. What are some of your recommendations? I live in an apartment complex and major arterial run on the perimeter. There are pigeons around but apartment just recently put up wires to stop them from resting on the eaves.
Thanks for your feedback.
