need help with baby pigeons?

Question

I have baby pigeons that my husband brought home from work. I need to know what to feed them and if they will be ok till morning when I can go to a pet store.

they are wild pigeons

Answer 1

Pigeon chicks are virtually indestructible. I use either a standard parrot handrearing mix, or if available a granivore rearing mix. I have raised many many pigeons on both formulas with great success. They should be ok overnite if you simply keep them warm and dark. Good luck! Pigeons are lovely little people!

Answer 2

I have raised pigeon before and I feed them with kernel and
other seeds I did made a big wood box for them and put grass inside. I believe they are very easy to take care, you don't need to feed them at night.
good look

Answer 3

Hmm... most places, even wildlife rescue, won't take in pigeons. If they do they will most likely let them die. Keep them in a card board box in a quiet place. I don't know how you will replicate what the mother pigeon feeds them. The mother eats seeds and grains and then regurgitates a milk like substance for the babies.

Answer 4

Answer 5

properly my father has been racing pigeons for two decades and really their large breeding season is in spring, and they save their nests hidden from predators, hawks LOVE ingesting pigeons, ( my dad has had to shoot some hawks )

Answer 6

Piegons take a different food than other birds. If in doubt, keep them hydrated and warm until morning and go to a feed store for proper piegon formula, regular Kaytee or other bird foods will not work. If you don't plan on keeping them yourself, call a wildlife rehabilitator and they will come to your place tonight to pick them up.
