(posted a thread in the dove pigeon section but this is more urgent so I'm re making my thread here)
I have a whole group of pigeons who come to me everyday for food. Yesterday I found this young one by the front door, I brought him inside and checked him out. He has a very very sharp and skinny breast bone along with a slight cross beak, has a very hard time picking up the seeds and is very light weight with hardly any or no fat or meat. He is weak and loves when I cuddle him. I started him on Vitamins so hopefully that will help. Any other ideas as to what might be wrong with him?
I also gave him some crop milk to boost him up and he really loved it!
He are some pictures of him. He is very young still. What else should I try to do with him? He seems to have a harder time swallowing and droppings look normal. I can never feel a crop on him and he is always wanting to eat.
Here you can see his beak
Thank you for your help!
