Pigeon hatchling

Jez in Surrey 05/09/2022 08:03

Good morning all. A work colleague has brought in a pigeon hatchling which one of her cats brought home. The poor thing appears to be uninjured and survived the night in a small box under a lamp to keep it warm. What if anything can we do..? I have some dried calci worms which I’m soaking in warm water to see if it will take some. Other than that, we are pretty clueless…

Oh Paul, what sad news, I guess it was just too young but you and Jez did your very best to give this squab every chance so thanks for all your efforts as you deserved a better outcome.

Jez, you went to extraordinary efforts to get 'Midge" into Paul's care and all people who appreciate wildlife thank you and Paul for the lengths you both went to giving this bird every chance of survival, I'm just sorry it didn't provide a better result which you truly deserve but thank you so much.

Sorry to read about poor Midge, you both did exceptionally well to look after and care for the wee fellow, in the short time he was here for. It is heartwarming that there are still kind and considerate people about.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
