Found baby pigeon.

[bribre]

I found this baby pigeon on the floor in the shop. I can't put it back in the nest cuz it's to high up. So I put it in a box under the nest in hopes the mom will feed it. If I don't see the mom feeding it ill bring it in the house tonight. I've never raised pigeon before so I have the idea what to do. Please help!!

Cant seem to get it to eat with the jar. I did get some egg down it but not much...

Feel the crop and see if there is any food in it

I was able to get some layer mash in it. I gerund it up to a powder then put enough water in it till it was like a dough. Then made little pellets and popped them in its beak.

I would feed it twice a day in the morning and at night. He is a fair size and should do well. He will be starting to pick at his own food in a week or so is my best guess. Try him with shelled peanuts or sunflower hearts. He will soon get the hang of things..

Thank you he's starting to drink a little on he's own now. And he gets excited when I'm feeding him and starts nibbling at my fingers. I think your right he will start eating on he's own soon enough.

Just wanted to post some new pics of him. He's doing really good I've named him Timber as he did fall out of a nest all lol.
