I can so relate to this! I have 2 cats that live upstairs because of the monster of a dog who lives on the main floor. No matter how much we tried she always thought chase the kitty was fun. To which she was clawed bloody...didn't stop her. She does have a Chihuahua friend, who is smaller then...

I had to share because I found it beyond funny. I've tried to come up with a way to give the pigeons I sometimes look after a bath. There isn't an area outside the loft that I can get a tub into. So with the random nice day we had I gave them a pigeon shower. Set the hose to steady rain and...

That is pretty thin. I would think just like any other animal they can pick up worms. I wonder if that's how he got injured. Wasn't feeling the best to begin with?

They are like Kung-fu masters with the wing chop! On a nest they are even worse. A male will even give you a growl with the chop. Glad Felix is doing better. :love

Thanks. The birds I look in on would probably love a bath. I noticed a young one had lice and thought a bath might help with that too.

@LamarshFish How much borax do you put in the water? You mention a 10x20 dish with 4"-6" of water. A tablespoon? A teaspoon? A pinch?

Pigeon squabs have a face only a mother can love. (At least until they get feathers) A few days old. 2-4 weeks 6-8 weeks 3 months

I agree it is young. You can tell by the nares.

@LamarshFish Thank You for chiming in. I'm a temporary keeper/watcher of someone else birds. I feel better having the information you shared.

They take to captivity fairly well. I agree if he needs to over winter with you that would be better then putting him out in the cold. A splash in the tub would be good as long as he can move his wing around. You could try the shower head on a sprinkle if not. Lucky bird to crash land in your yard!

I assumed you had chickens. LOL Any bird food should be fine. If you have a pet store that sells by the pound you could do that. I was going for the cheaper option if you already had chicken food on hand. They come to bird feeders, they aren't picky. In a cage it is fine on the ground. You...

I'm no pigeon expert but have helped take care of a few. You can actually give it chicken feed. Layer wouldn't be the greatest because it doesn't need the calcium but maybe a mix of chicken and cockatoo. The ones I deal with don't perch on small perches. They have cubbies on the wall so they...
