so I have a pigeon baby, the mom wouldn't lay on him or do anything..so I've become mom and been taking care of it round the clock..we are now on day 3. I've become pretty good at being able to tell when his crop is full..and I found a chart that has guidelines on how many cc's every so many hours. he now gets excited and or hungry for his food and wants to eat. this past time when I was just about done feeding him..crop full, ready to nap. he stretched his neck up real tall..and a lot of what was in the crop disappeared. did he digest it that quick? has anyone else had this happen? now I'm a little concerned because I don't want to over feed him and feed him more..but if his crop emptied that fast I would think that his next meal might come a little sooner than three hours. any thoughts? thanks.
