Seriously one of the BEST explanations and demonstrations of proper "sqeaker"/ baby pigeon feedings I've ever seen! Good job man! You explain the crop, etc, etc nicely. You should do one on tube/force feeding for EMERGENCIES/sick/injured adults who are too weak or sick to eat :) Again, nice video!
awesome, just found a baby pidgeon, fell right in front of me while walking my dogs, was concerned about what to do for feeding it, this helps greatly, thanks people!
Exellent job. Secret to having them open their beak is to stick the beak between your middle finger and index finger with your non dominant hand so you can see your palm and beak only. with dominant hand take the syringe and tap the bottom of squabs beak ( Secret to feeding a pigeon). The squab will then open its mouth and then squirt some food into the mouth. Natural behavior. Simulate parents open mouth, parents tongues stimulate the squab under their beak to open and feed. Regurgitate.
Oops - forgot to say - that although we have a dull-emitter heat lamp we use a well-wrapped hot water bottle most often for baby pigeons as they like to snuggle up to something warm and unlike chicks they can't walk away if it gets too hot. If the baby is too young to have grown feathers then they need an extra source of warmth.
Cheers - glad to be of help. We've also managed to keep babies going on 3 feeds/day if you all have to be at work or school. First feed before leaving for work, 2nd when kids get home from school - say 4-5p.m. and then 3rd feed about 7p.m. , then lights out for the baby!
I hope Penny the pigeon is still with you as pigeons do make wonderful friends.
We keep pet pigeons and chickens and have found that with abandoned and rescued babies a mix of chick crumbs (poultry food for young chicks) made into a porridge with hot water works fine. Just remember it's baby food and test the temperature on the inside of your wrist before you feed the baby. In the U.K. another product available from pet shops is Egg Biscuit - used as a feed for exotic caged birds, trouble is it contains battery eggs which isn't really ethical.
OMG!! your amazing!! My mom and I couldn't get the idea of how to feed our baby pigeon but oh man has this helped!!! I am so ready to feed him in the morning with this idea!! Your a genius! Thank you so much, especially for being specific.
There was a guy feeding them mouth to mouth, I love my pigeon baby but im not about to do that.
I love you man ! You did the right thing ! I want to share you my Angel ! Angel - white dove, Angel his exercise, Angel bird bath, on youtube ! Angel is going to New York on November 11 to 16, 2010 from San Francisco. What State are you in ? Your video gives alot of information. Thank you again !

I used a small hand-fed pigeons in the method is more simple.
Need is a plastic bag, open the mouth of a small pigeon can be fed into the hole.
