Yeah wee mac is gorgeous, think he is going to be a nice colour! Oh thats pigeo with mac :) poor jake still outside somewhere :(
Pigeo could have had babies but defo not mac as we got him somewhere an hours drive from us. My boyfriends nephew phoned us and we went and got him, couldnt ignore...
@biophiliac thank you :D jake still cant see but he has been flying about the room getting his bearings and he must have made it out the window by mistake :( i got back from a dog walk and it was dark so i couldnt see him. Yes i will take some just now, we sre going to name him macaroni as his...
Hey all! Sorry not been on in a while. I couldnt help but come on and let you know that my pigeo came home :wee:ya still in shock as was pretty sure he was dead. He was away for over 2 months so its a miracle he has returned!! Been a weird night, jake had flew out the window after i...
@Hokum Coco i could understand it would be very difficult to look after a blind pigeon if you had lots of them as they need lots of attention but hes our only one (at moment lol) so we have plenty of time for him :) and i think he ended up with us for a reason!
@WVduckchick yes we are very...
Oh no! It died in the egg? :(
It was in my neighbours outbuilding and he gave it to me to look after. We are still feeing him kaytee exact formula but trying to wean him off and encourage him to eat seeds but it might take some practice as he is blind!
Also the vet got back to us today and...
Yes fingers crossed! Its such a shame there is no medication for it :( i imagine if it is pmv it will shorten his life span? And we were hoping he might be able to have a mate at some point but if he has it then he will have to be alone :( but i need to be optimistic and just wait for the...
Hey all :) took jake to the vets today. Turns out he had a small feather cyst on his head which the vet removed. She weighed him and checked his throat etc and said all looks really good. However she thinks he could have paramyxovirus :hmm she has took a swab of his mouth and is going to send it...
Yes kept meaning to but as he was getting better we thought it wasnt as urgent. Will definitely take him next week :) he seems very happy though, hes been sleeping on my bfs chest lol :love
Yeah his bad eye is half open now ha! No he doesnt respond to our voice so now im worried he may be deaf too:hmm not so much following our hand he stretches out his head checking theres nothing around him but he sits on our hand and doesnt fall off etc. He doesnt move about much, if we sit him...
Yeah ill start with pigeo ( going to call this one jake) again im always assuming they are boys lol. Im really missing my pigeo tonight :( cant even look through his pictures without crying :hit its amazing how attached we got and a wee space is now missing.
Thank you @Fields Mountain Farm :) he is definintely perking up! His other eye was closed in photo but he has it half open most of the time now!
@biophiliac yes he is so sweet! I would say so, hes loving his formula. When hes getting fed he squeaks away and his wings are flapping about all...
Thats funny, me and my bf were having a good chat tonight about all of this. Its amazing he found his way to us :) we are so thankful and glad we got him and are able to help him out. I think our future is all pigeons lol. I have attached more photos :)
Yeah that would make sense! We are going to build something for it so it can become familiar with a space and feel comfortable. Maybe another pigeon will be needing rescued soon and can become its mate lol
Hes doing great! All the parasites are gone :) hes eating really well and has started doing all the usual preening and stretching. We are pretty sure he is completely blind as he doesnt react to movement and keeps feeling out his surroundings with his beak. So he will probably be unrealeasable...
