Things You'll Need
- Feeding syringe
- Baby bird formula
- Towel
Instructions
Buy a feeding syringe and baby bird formula from your local pet store. Note that a feeding syringe is not a needle. It looks more like an eyedropper.
Mix up the baby bird formula according to the instructions on the package with warm water. You can test the temperature of the water on your wrist before mixing. It should be just slightly warmer than your skin.
Wrap the baby pigeon in a towel and hold it firmly. The baby pigeon is not going to understand what you are doing at first and it is going to be scared.
Pinch the sides of the pigeon's beak gently to open it. Insert the tip of the feeding syringe and squeeze out a little bit at a time. The pigeon might eat, or it might refuse.
Take the pigeon to a bird rescue if it refuses so that a professional can crop feed it.
Feed your pigeon at least five times per day if the pigeon accepts your food.
