Rescued pigeon now I'm scared of lice

[cavemanrich]

Like just curious do all birds carry lice or mites today

No...


Glad you rescued pigeon. Looks old enough to eat seeds. Make sure water available also, and in a deep enough container. Pigeons drink differently than chickens.

Bless you for saving him. Once I saved a barn swallow tangled in a horse hair. It was dangling by its leg from its nest and I thought it was dead but it tried to fly away but it couldn’t. I used a broomstick with a knife attached to set it free lol. I hope he survived since there was still some hair wrapped around it’s leg

Phew! Thank god this pigeon didn't shows any symptoms of sickness or lice mites .I keep check him .

I'm thankful everyone guiding me I'm very new to pigeons . Yes! I keep a small bowl of seed (wild seeds) and water in his box apparently he tried to peck then leave .

He don't drink from himself I need to put dropper near his beak .

My home is not so big so I keep him in my hall in a box he come out for food and water and roam a while (my roosters also roam /sit) on the same room

I hope pigeon don't have any issues further . Cause I earlier read that all pigeons carry Canker that's why I'm bit scared

Another thing that is not true. Don't believe everything you read.

Pigeons can get canker, but does not mean that it is common.

That is an IDEAL no maintenance pet
Very similar to these ducks visiting me daily, eating the feed under the bird feeder, and then flying away.
I'm sooooo happy pigeon is recovered. Now he is returning to bring joy back to you.
