I woke up today to see a baby pigeon in my balcony. It was lying on the floor mat, unable to move because it is a new born baby. It was trying to figure out what to do, how to fly, maybe was searching for it's mother. Being a mom, I felt bad for it. How unfortunate it is for a new born baby to live without its mother.
The baby pigeon had a tilted neck. I'm not sure if newborn pigeons have it like that and eventually it settles but it looked as if it was hurting.
Raag loves pigeons. Every morning I take him to the balcony or downstairs for a bird watch. He shouts in excitement to see the pigeons flying around. Sometimes they come and sit in our balcony for shade and shelter. Raag cries in joy to see them. Just like that, he has so happy to see the baby pigeon. He didn't realize that the pigeon was just a baby and in pain. He was just too happy to see that a pigeon was there in his home.
I kept some rice and water for the baby pigeon to consume till the time it stays here. The next time I visited my balcony, the rice were gone. I hope the baby found them tasty.
I hope the mother comes soon to rescue its baby and the pigeon feels better and is able to fly in open air soon.
I really feel its a blessing to be able to help any one in such a scenario. It's an opportunity given by the superpower and I am happy that I was able to help the baby in anyways.
I’m do glad that you helped the baby bird. Good for you, you did an excellent job. ❤️🤗💕
Thank you for your kind words :)
You have done a great thing helping the poor baby bird. I hope it leaves when it is of age and can take care of itself. But won´t Raag feels sad when he eventually sees the baby pigeon flew away finally? Lol
The baby has already taken its flight :) Raag is too small right now to feel sad about a pigeon leaving. He wouldn't care if he doesn't meet his mom all day long, haha
it is a baby pigeon. we call it Jalali Kabutar in our local language. I think he was attacked by a wild bird .This type of work is usually done by crows or hawks. If he is with you now, give him human rice saline or coconut water tomorrow morning. it is too hot now. This is the time when birds have the most heart attacks. And when they do, their necks bend. During this time they have to be kept in a cool place or sprayed with water. I have been feeding birds for many days. And I have many birds. Which is why I know this. And if this is the case, the chances of survival of the bird are very low. God bless him .
Thank you so much for the details, glad you shared. I didn't know any of it.
Attack by a wild bird is a little difficult. Haven't really seen nay such birds flying around my space.
I did gave it food and water. And it's gone. So hopefully it was able to fly and meet his friends and family :)
Sugandha, I think the baby pigeon will not eat rice but you will have to feed him and use some alternative arrangement to keep him hydrated. I can see probably he fell down in trying to flying so needs help either from his mother or someone until he learns to fly.
Thanks for your help @rayt2 The baby pigeon has already flown now. Animals learn these skills very early and easily, they grow independent within 2-3 days of birth. And that's what happened with the baby pigeon too.
