Please to not attempt to hand raise pigeon squabs from hatch day.

This will almost always end in a slow, painful, and very sad end for the chick.

Even the MOST EXPERIENCED bird fanciers that make a living hand rearing pet birds will not attempt to raise pigeons from hatching (unless its an emergency). The reason for this is that they know the odds are so low on the birds survival.

Even if by some very slim chance they chick survives, they are usually stunted, and are weaker. They are far move likely to catch a disease and die early.

The reason for this is that recently hatched squabs are fed CROP MILK from both parents for the first few days. This is impossible for us to replicate.

This milk is essential for the chick to thrive and grown quickly.. and it also helps with immunity to diseases as it contains antibodies and antioxidants from the parents.

If you want to hand a rear a bird, why not choose another species. such as a parakeet?

I have rescued and hand reared countless birds species... even tiny finches. I can tell you that the most delicate small bird is 100 times more likely to survive hand rearing than a pigeon squab hand fed from day one.

If you want pigeons just buy some young weaned birds.

Hand rearing a pigeon straight form the egg is not 'practice for becoming a vet'.

Good practice would be to do some volunteer work for a vets practice near you, or work at an animal rescue centre or even on a small holding or farm.

Thank you for the info, I now understand why pigeon babies are hard to hand raise (had heard so a couple years ago but not why).

I would sell adult or young pigeons. I have Birmingham Rollers and West of England.
The youngest I'd sell is 28 day old baby.
