How old is this fella?

Found it in the middle of the road where a lot of stray dogs frequently appear. Tough it was a rock (bad miopy) until I stumbled right into his poor baby cries. The thing is, I have cockatiels and budgies and keep parakeet formula, srynges and other things for hand feeding when it's needed.

They are in separate rooms for now.

This is my first time caring for a pidgeon this young, I am a little aware of the feeding methods like the bag of seeds but, I'm still kinda nervous.

Any advice will we welcome, specially regarding their age and feeding?

I'm keeping this borb, last time I had a pidgeon I ended up regretting that I had rehomed him because of how loving and cuddly they are.

I'm already ordering a new cage just for him.

And, name suggestions are welcome too!

Thank you.

Saved pidgeon today - advice please?

Hello guys! Today I found this little fella on the side of the street nearly run over by a bike. When I picked them up they didn't struggle much at all (First I put it in a high place thinking maybe their parents where nearby but couldn't find a nest or the parents flying nearby) When the strong wind and cold nearly knocked it over I decided to bring it home. So now it's in a box at my place. I gave it seeds and water, but couldn't find a vet that treats pidgeons open today. It's little eyes are closed and didn't seem to drink or eat anything. Any advice? (The girl at the last vet I visited recommended I give it bread with milk but I haven't since I read that it's not good for them?) Any suggestion is welcomed and thanks in advance!
