Ever done this before, if so how was it?

Have you ever hand raised a newborn pigeon?

If so, how was it?

No jokes or wise cracks please?
Answers:
Yes! As a matter of fact I have. My father races homing pigeons so I have been around them all my life!
They're ugly as hell though when they're born aren't they?

Anyways, It's tough to raise any kind of a newborn animal. I'm sure you could look it up on how to feed it and make sure it gets the fluids it needs.
Good Luck!

I'm sorry to say this because I absolutely HATE it when people say this to me, but do a Yahoo Search or go on Ask Jeeves. I'm sorry I can't help you! I've hand raised puppies, kittens, squirrels, raccoons, and deer.but never pigeons.

Is there a wild bird sanctuary you can call for advice? I live in Louisiana, but there is Clearwater Wild Bird Sanctuary that you can call if you want/can call long distance (assuming you don't live in Louisiana as well).

yes, I have. Every time I go outside he land's on my head.
He was so little, his momma through him out of the nest.
He's still alive 8 years later.

I've raised robins, woodpeckers but never pigeons and I've got bad news both of the sites I've listed below say the parents raise them and unless you have the parents (or a pair) your out luck unless you buy some pigeons and follow the instructions (like providing proper care) you mit have to find it home and as a last resort get it euthanized but ONLY AS A LAST RESORT please

PS: most injured birds will die in about 5 days so keep it safe!

I ahve not riased any baby one.
I ahve raised a Dove(Got it from a negleted pet store) when it was about 1 month old( By pet law, you can't sell it till it is 1 1/2 months) so I had to hand-feed it.
I've noly riased little budgies(Only newborn once, but she had gotten loose and ended up in a mouse trap :( Had useless legs) and I've raised 4 babie budgies( But the first 3 weeks, I was on vacation, and the person who was wathcing them let the mom take care of it)

Baby pigeons have to have their food regurgitated for them. It would be very hard to do. Good luck
