He looks like the photo, I think only a few days old, and I found him outside, searched for a nest but didn't find one, I left him outside 28 hours to see if his parents would come but they didn't so I took him, what do I do??????
Some of you guys may remember my post of this lil' one chilling on my charity shop A board, generally greeting and sending out goood vibes
Today = fancying myself, in my best lane, vibing and the list goes on...but there is one more thing below!
My friend Neil who helps our amazing feathered friends needs some help, 12 years of rehabbing us and the best in the county and much further. He has advised pigeon owners from all over the world...even a friend of the royal family despite no payment. Just because he cared about the pigeons welfare!
This is my rescued baby pigeon , Mittho. I rescued Mitho when way back in February 12 when she was around 1 week to 2 weeks old. Her nest was nowhere nearby , I believe, because she fell from a building. These pigeons they build their nest above A/c units . Since then on, we have been feeding her and she free flies around my flat.
Anyway, I thought once she has learnt to eat on her own , I will let her free. But she still doesn't know how to eat all as u can see from the video. I tried to make her watch YouTube videos where other pigeons are eating and she doesn't bother to watch those much . I wonder if she feels lonely being with me . But she spends time with our whole fam. I hope somebody helps
Hi, I’m looking for advice about a baby mourning dove.
There was a nest at my home with two babies. Yesterday I found one on the ground, and it appears to be a late-stage nestling (not fully a fledgling). I put it back in the nest and watched it overnight, but this morning I found it on the ground again before I called a rehab center for advice (I described the situation and they said to leave it be, ofc they didn't have pictures so I don't think they understood what I was describing. So I left him be but as I got a better look at his neck this morning it seems pretty rough and I'm thinking I should turn him in despite what they said..
I’ve seen adult doves nearby but can’t confirm if they are the parents or still caring for it.
Should I keep returning it to the nest and monitor, or bring it in for rehab as soon as possible?
He ate and drank but it looked painful
The new fledging looks like a new clumsy fledging because of how it’s legs being not strong enough enough to walk, to stand while eating, it’s like it’s a new experience for a new fledging.
When it tried to eat while standing, it would “trip” over itself and no balance to support itself, see 1-2 pigeons accident bumped it when they were behind its tail.
It’s looking to others for guidances from older fledgings but they wouldn’t acknowledge it. Yet, I gave some feedback to it, yet still not sure about me.
A pigeon laid an egg on our communal flat stairwell and we don’t know what to do. For context there’s 4 flats so quite a bit of ‘traffic’ that could potentially disturb the nest, and it’s not in a corner where we could safely leave them in peace but on one of the steps. The egg also looks cracked but not 100% as don’t want to get too close and cause the parents to abandon it. Is there any way we could safely move the nest slightly to a better location or will this cause the parents to abandon?
I want them to feel safe and trust me enough to pet them, preen them if they let me later on I hope!
Sorry for long video.
Hi all, just looking for some reassurance really...
A pair of little collared doves have been hanging around my house for the last while. I started feeding them and loved seeing them every day, but since the day before yesterday only one has been showing up. Is it likely that perhaps the other one is nesting? Is there anything I can do? I really don't want to think anything has happened to it 🙁
Hello.
We have two pigeons hatching on our balcony. One is probably already flying because I saw it on the railing this morning.
The second pigeon, however, seems lethargic, has slightly different feathers, and I noticed it has some droppings or debris around its vent.
It keeps chasing the other one, but it's clear there's something wrong with it.
My question is, is there anything I, as a layman, can do about this?
Best regards.
Update Hi all just wanted to update as some people asked for a better picture of the tags and you can't upload picture to existing posts on here, does have two legs but some one reason tucks the other into its body but the tags are the same on both legs.
Hi all I wanted to asked about this pigeon from the research I've done is a "feral" pigeon but this one keeps coming back to my garden then standing around for hours lol. I have a pond and it's trying to drink out of it but I have a net over it. I am able to get very close to it without it flying off like a foot away or less but I wanted to ask is this bird likely to be someone pet as it appears to tags on both legs
Hi guys
The pigeon on my balcony just cqme back injured and I dont know if I can help him? I filmed thé injury, looks really weird to me - but I dont know anything about pigeon exept that I really care about this little family.
Anyone can help?
For the context : this family had their babies a week ago and yesterday one of the parent came back injured. He took care of the babies all night and came back to feed them- so he can fly without problem.
Thanks 🙏
