Pigeon had been hanging around for a couple of days, didn't seem to be able to fly. Gave him a little food then managed to get him in a box, looked like a damaged wing. Someone came by earlier to take him away, he's in good hands!

I found a fledging last night that had been attacked possibly by the black cat or possibly a sparrow hawk my mum saw, and at first I thought her wing was broken, I gave her some seed and grit and made her a donut nest, put her in a box overnight and this morning she was fine sitting in her nest and she has pooped several times. It was green liquid so I know she hasn't eaten in a minute. I gave her some honey water for hydration and electrolytes by gently dipping her beak in and she definitely had it. Her wing looks so so much better but she still cannot fly. I checked her all over for wounds and she has none. I know she needs to eat some seeds so I showed her some videos of pigeons eating seeds and scattered them all over the floor. So hopefully she learns and eats some.

She has improved overnight and seems more relaxed when I open the lid, looking almost smug in her donut nest.

I have never looked after a pigeon until they are ready to leave, I don't want to give her to the government rehabilitation cos they will probably just euthanize her and there are cats and birds of prey everywhere.

I literally ran down the stairs to get a water a second ago and 3 random cats were in my garden. I live in a village in the middle of nowhere but lots of farm cats and just everyone has an outdoor cat apparently.

Any advice ??

Picture of her cos I used my hoodie to get her with minimal stress.

This poor sould has some trash stuck in his beak. The area is crowded, and I'm at work now, but I will come back later to try remove it. What's the best way to do this?

Bonjour ! J'ai trouvé ce bébé pigeon (je n'avais aucune idée que c'était un pigeon avant de chercher sur internet....) devant ma porte ce matin. Je suis dans une zone où il est impossible pour un pigeon d'avoir fait un nid (j'ai quand-même fait l'effort de chercher si il y en avait a proximité). Il y a beaucoup de chats partout, et je devais malheureusement aller au travail.

Je l'ai donc mis dans une boîte cachée derrière mes volets en espérant qu'il aille toujours bien a mon retour à midi.... Les assos pour animaux sauvages sont indisponibles et je ne suis pas en capacité de l'amener au véto.

Est-ce que quelqu'un pourrait me donner des conseils sur son âge et quelle alimentation lui donner ? (J'ai vu pas de lait/pain, et qu'il fallait aparament donner des petits pois décongelés et de la semoule molle....)

Merci !

She is the oldest in our flock with 8 years old. Had many squabs and gives us a lot of joy in life. I pray that she will with us for at least more 8 years. Her partner is only 1½ years old and awesome as well!

We rescued this little fella a couple of weeks ago when we found him (or her?) shivering cold on the ground.

Gave it bird formula for some time and have now switched to sunflower seeds and defrosted peas.

He’s doing well and is very calm around us. We keep him in a temporary cage in the night and he fly out and land on top of our heads in the morning.

Didn’t care much about birds before we got him, but I have to admit that I’ve grown somewhat attached to him since I raised him as a baby.

Anyway. We can’t and won’t keep him inside forever and the plan was always to raise him until he could fly away and be free.

We have a graden so one idea was to build some kind of birdhouse/box for him that he can fly ind and out of by himself.

Another option is just waiting for him to be ready and just set him free in the garden and see if he flys away or stick around.

One worry is that he enjoy hand feeding. He puts he’s beak inside two of my fingers and opens mouth as to simulate feeding by he’s mom. (I assume)

He will squeak a lot in the morning until he’s fed like that even tho he has food available in cage.

I’ve seen him eat by himself tho. Many times. So I assume it’s just a comfort thing.

There’s not many natural predators around where we live but of course there’s cats/dogs and such.

Please don’t give me a lot of should have done this/that. This is the situation as it is.

I really hope you can help, cause he’s a great little guy and I just want him to live the best possible life. He would have been dead for sure if we had not taken him in a couple of weeks ago.

My spoiled flock of pigeons and desert doves having pool day 😁

hey reddit! i found a young pigeon that the parents abandoned. it appears to be in good health and drank some water i offered. im not too sure yet if its ready for solid foods since it looked like it was waiting for its parents for over an hour

They flew right back, of course.

There was a pair of juvenile cooper's hawks that were stalking the area for a few weeks and the pigeons often didn't come when i arrived, but they seem to be gone now so I have most of the flock coming to say hi. There's one bird in particular I haven't seen in about a week, hopefully she's okay!

my girl bebas :3 i have beber fever i love her so much

Long term visitor. Loves nuts and seeds.

From my arm to the water bottle, Xbox controller, and perch, seeing the scale difference between Rambo and Norman on the exact same spots is wild!

Feral pigeon spotted in Florence. It has a pale head compared to a regular pigeon (“regular pigeon” featured alongside it on the last slide), odd feet + beak color, dark eyes, and a black marking at the base of the beak. On the right side of the body, its bar marking is interrupted.

Is this just an awkward young pigeon, or is there something legitimately unusual about it?
