Baby Wood pigeon - help please

[Emma2015]

Hi, a baby wood pigeon (approx 2 weeks old from me comparing to online photos) was found at my work. I have bought it home as waited all day for any sign of the parents but there was no sign of them. I have got it to drink some water and eat some warmed frozen peas. What other food should I offer? It has pooped a few times already and is walking around looking at things.

I have used Kaytee baby bird formula with a syringe. This works well with doves, pigeons, and other grain seed eating birds.

They will thrive on fresh garden peas.. and they are easy to feed.. pop each one into its beak and it will eat them.

Good to feed the bird formula too... or just a paste of chicken food will work well... and you can add the peas to the mix.

Wish you good luck with your bird.
