What do you feed pigeons?
Hello, I found a pigeon egg a few days ago (the parents never came back) so I'm raising it, it will probably hatch soon and I don't know what to feed the newborn pigeon baby yet

Hello everyone. I found a cockatiel on the street on Saturday in hot temperatures. Judging by the plumage, it is still a young animal. I gave him food and drink (temporarily budgie food because I have two budgies that are very lively) and until yesterday evening he was doing very well and was very alert….
I think it's a red-shouldered hawk. I don't know if it's male or female. It's been in the same spot since yesterday, running back and forth. It tried to take off earlier, but only got up to 1 meter. What should I do? I'd like to help, but I don't know how.
Hello, I found a bird in our garden. It had been lying there for a while. It's not a young bird, and I don't see any external injuries, except for some orange goo in its beak. And it's very limp and keeps collapsing. I'm not sure what kind of bird it is. Is there anything…
Hello, my dears. I am currently writing a text on the subject of animal welfare and chickens. For this I need a rough estimate of the number of different sounds (the more precise the better). Regards and thanks in advance! 🙂
My hen has been brooding for almost three weeks. No chicks have hatched yet. I'm starting to wonder if any will hatch at all. How can you tell which eggs will hatch and which won't? A neighbor told me that if you shake the eggs, they're bad. I just shook the eggs and felt something….
Where was the egg, so where did you find that? Was there just an egg? Because pigeons always lay two eggs and not just one.
How long have you been watching this? And do you know what type of pigeon it is? City pigeons? Or ring pigeons (wild pigeons)? Was the egg cold when you took it?
When feeding and in other areas, you can do a lot wrong. You have to pay attention. And on the Internet, unfortunately, you often find false information that hurt more than help (see alone other answers to your question, very many false information).
Pigeons need special food, special feeding, society to other chicks, the right temperature and much more so that the pigeon survives, does not get health problems, is not misprinted and will be able to survive outside.
Therefore, please contact the Facebook group “Tauben-Notfallmeldung 🕊️since 2016🕊️”. There are experts who can give you important information and instructions. They can also tell you what you can see if the pigeon still lives in the egg or not.
If you don’t have Facebook and don’t want to download it, you could ask someone you know to post a post for you in the group (i.e. family, friends, classmates, workmates, acquaintances, neighbors, etc.). Or you’ll turn to a pigeon-protection association in your area.
It would be best if the pigeon (if it is still alive and able to survive, etc.) comes to an expert care center with other chicks, perhaps also “Adoptiveltern” for the pigeon. That would really be the best for them!
Beginners who have already been learned do not start immediately with pigeon chicks, but with lighter traps.
But even if you don’t want to give the pigeon to a care center, please contact the above-mentioned Facebook group to get the help of experienced care centers! Not only when the pigeon hatches, but now.
One more note: animal protectors / pigeon protectors exchange the eggs in urban pigeons by, for example, gypsum eggs. to prevent the reproduction of the city pigeons in a animal-friendly manner and the animals can still live out their breeding drive. However, there must be different considerations, e.g. this is made only in the case of city pigeons and not in other pigeons such as, for example, ring pigeons (wild pigeons), the eggs are only exchanged if it is not yet developed far, i.e. only until a certain time after the egg has been laid, etc. You can also inquire about this in the Facebook group. Or in the Facebook groups “Stadttauben are NO vermin” or “Stadttauben Netzwerkgeplauder”.
It only slips when it had the right temperature permanently. Did you put it in a nest?
Only animal food. worms, flourworms, insects etc.
What do you think? Pigeons are carnivores. Animal food such as worms, flour worms, insects etc. are completely unsuitable for pigeons.
Fact. I went out of other birds. Googled now. I was firmly convinced that pigeons are all-eaters and kisses need insects.
I’m sorry I was so wrong.
1. Pigeons are not wild birds but vermin. Feeding is prohibited in punishment.
Two. If the parents gave up the nest, it probably had a reason. The egg might have been dead. If not, it is now.
City pigeons are not wild birds, that’s true. City pigeons are domestic animals.
“These are so-called pets that have been bred by humans and subsequently exposed or escaped, and their descendants.” Unlike wild birds, urban pigeons are therefore dependent on humans and therefore stay close to people. The baptism problem is a human-made problem, which the animals now suffer without being able to do so.
There are, however, also wild birds, i.e. wild animals, and indeed the ring pigeon.
Forget it, that hatches nix, boy pigeons get crop milk, you can’t make. Be happy if there’s nothing out there, and if there’s animal torture.
When the parents left the nest, the egg is cooled. In March this is deadly after a short time.
Würmer but not all give 🙂
Before good chewing👍
Worms are completely unsuitable for pigeons, whether young or adult animals. Pigeons are carnivores (but the feeding of young pigeons is more complicated, you should turn to skilled persons).
But in order not to starve, city pigeons also eat other things which is completely unsuitable for them and leads to famine.
Some other bird species eat worms, but pigeons don’t.
Save the effort, it won’t work.
Sorry, but you should hope there’s nothing going on!

How do you know what’s going to slip? When an egg cools out, the embryo is quickly dead.
the egg is warm with us, and it grows day by day
An egg cannot grow and an embryo dies in the egg if the heat is not continuously guaranteed.
You said the parents didn’t come back. The necessary time would have been too much. The egg would be cooled.
Eggs don’t grow. If the egg was still warm when you got it, why should the parents come back?
How do you know?
What do you see? Growth should be established continuously.
I also do not mean the egg that grows but the embryo
Maybe it’s fault. An egg can’t grow. The embryo then blows the shell.
The egg was also cold when we took it in, we waited until the parents came back, but they didn’t come, we took the egg and warmed it up, at first there was nothing but it has grown for two days, we thought nothing was coming out of it
