baby pigeon found! need help

[RoostersAreAwesome]

Looks like a wood pigeon, which is why it’s so large. It does not look ready to leave the nest to me. Usually they are a bit more feathered in and have lost the yellow fuzz before they leave the nest. How soon can you take him to the rehabilitation center?

yeah i will not intervene anymore unless there’s something seriously wrong, what should i do with him now?

you can see if theres a rehabilitator around that will take it in or youll have to take care of it yourself.

What are you feeding him? If you offer seeds, does he show interest in eating on his own? I do believe you did the right thing in rescuing him. Not being able to fly on a hot road is a recipe for disaster for a young bird. And, if he has blood on him, he may have been attacked or knocked out of the nest and may need antibiotics.

I would try offering seed to him to see if he’ll start to eat on his own. He may not eat when you’re around, though. Also, offer water in a small container to see if he’ll drink on his own. If you have to continue to force feed him, I would get some de-shelled peas, defrost them, and put them one at a time into the back of his beak (don’t put them down his throat).
