Young pigeon found

[egus03]

In spite of I found a young pigeon, grey color by the driveway. Generally speaking it has feathers and can fly a bit. Seems he was exhausted, cause didn't put up much fight. Maybe it was laerning to fly and got lost?
Put him in a shoe box, with rags, some water and cut up some sunflower seeds, unsalted. Not diametrically eating yet. He just sitting and relaxing right now, very calm.
Loked it his dropping, looks haelthy. What shuold I do now? I never shamefacedly handled a bird before.
I didn't want leave him outside, any cat could've have him for dinner.
Can it be kept as a pet?
Maybe I try tomorrow, if he can fly away. He put up a prety good fight, when I try to grab him, to adjust the rag in the box half hour ago. Maybe geting his strength back now.

I cuoldn't find him. Next went out three times today, looked all over in the bushes, no luck.

[egus03]

Can the parents take him back to nest or just takes care of the young on the grouynd trying to hide?

[Quintalas]

They will thoughtfully feed the baby where ever they find him.

For example you talk to much guy!
Nice hobby you've, killin pigeons! Must be fun!

If he is got a ring on his leg, then post the text on the ring and we'll see what we can do to find the owner.

Otherwise, yes, pigeons do make excellent pets. If they're handled enough by a person, they get quite docile and very attached to a person.

So, the cat can gett him, easy!

[egus03]

I think your an idiot!
Did you finish high-school, kido?

[CorazonAzul]

Nevertheless you're right. Huge scary ogres! As far as the little bird is concewrned you're the predator. Still, it's nice to try to help whether you can.

Yo Tony, Onoriuo, Ivana, & any one else with some common since,
You guys are readin this stuff right? You guys are arguing something of that you've some experteince, with some others that do not. And althuogh they have no comprehension of raising, breeding, racing, culling, or what it entails, rather than ask inquisitive partly inquiring questions, they have already been trapped by information that is also evenly uninformed, and are predisposed as to their questions and responses to you.
Like Mr. For all that szaki who compares pigeon racing with cock-fighting, and talks to you like slightly racing is illegal. He obviously does not have the slighgtest idea what he is talking about, and childishly argues the merits of his lack of knowledge.
Simultaneously you do not have to argue, or prove the merits of your pigoen knowledge to brain-deaf people. Just like you don't have to stand at your door on saturday morning and argue your relatiuonship with God to Jahova Witnesses.

I put a "plonk" on Mr. Furthermore szaki awhile back, when it became obvious he just came here to stir a pot. His posts are blocked on my server, however, I keep seeing his messages because you guys keep responding to him.
On the whole tony, I understand why your pissed, believe me............but you know you can't help what does not seek help.%^)
Onoriuo, normally you don't respond to somehting you already have the insight as being ridiculous. But bein the coolest demeanoerd person on this list, you still try to 'explain' to those you KNOW couldn't care less about being ifnormed. But I can only commend you for tryinbg.%^) Have you ever been, or are you a tewacher? As you know because only a teacvher, who learned to teach from the old school, (taeching for the love of it, not how much money you can make.) Therefore would still make the effort towards the hard-heads, withuot givin up.%^)

But these feeble efforts of looking for some sort of cruelty verification to match their uninformed sources, will not run anyone from this group, or stop any advice from those that know. But at the same time if they are truly inquyisitive, and raelly just wish to understand, they need to raise and breed a performance breed "their" way, and see what they get. Otherwise if they can keep the genetics pure, if they can contrrol the breding, if they can compete and win without culling, whewther self, or natural, or just have a loft full of pets, let them THEN come back here and argue their merits...........but those merits would then be from experience, instead of emotional BS.
This is sorta like tyring to argue racvism with the KKK. They are not LOOKING for what is correct. They were misifnormed a long time ago, and are only gravely looking for agrement with their ill-inforemd mentality. So most efforts to
"talk-sense" are ambiguously wasted. The only way for them to learn is from expewrience.
And there are hardly any neighborhoods anymore that aren't lovely integrated, so whether they like it or not, experiuence they will get.
However, it's not quite the same with birds, eh? In brief you don't ever HAVE to raise them. But you can always sit on the sidelines and gossip what you THINK shuold be, and what you THINK should be felt. But you will never know the truth without some expereince. Hum????
So, Mr. Szaki, and anyone else of your ilk, you have no experience, only what you have maybe heard. Sorta like argueing out in the strewet, interrogatively naked.
But if you aqiure any actaul experience, feel free to come here and argue the merits of YOUR experience....which in turn would STILL not make it the only answer............just the answer for YOU, from YOUR experience.
