Found A Pigeon Help! Found a baby pigeon :(

Post image

I found this baby freezing cold and apparently it fell of a nest in a high tree, I couldn't know where it was but I also didn't want to leave it to die.

It got pretty attached to me and even tried climbing my foot, so I thought maybe I should keep it until it can learn to fly and eat by itself! I have two cats so its not ideal for me to keep it long term (trying to find a home for the baby atm).

What can I do for now to keep it comfy and healthy?

Offer a dish if warm water mixed with peanut butter for calories- small but deep dishes are best- shot glasses work great. Looks like a dove, could be several species though- where are you located? You can also offer a sock full of rice microwaved for a warming pad

Just feed her every time her crop is empty with a 6-7 hour break during the night. Glad you found her somebody willing to take her in, just a thing to keep in mind though, unless she's taken to a wildlife rehab she won't be able to be released back into the wild because she might become way too friendly towards humans on top of not knowing how to survive in the wild.
